Existence of optimal solutions to mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (Q1105490)

The main problem investigated in the paper is to minimize f(x,y) subject to \(x\in X\) and \(y\in Y(x)\), where \(f: R^{n+m}\to R\), \(X\subset R^ n\), and \(Y: X\to R\) m is a multifunction. The problem is very interesting but the paper contains trivial results only.
