In this presentation, we discuss a new method by Siddiqui and Gabriel (2012) to solve mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). It is based on decomposing the complementarity conditions of the lower-level problem (optimization or equilibrium) using SOS1 variables. As such, the approach represents an improvement over the previous SOS2 decomposition of bilinear terms (Gabriel et al., 2006). Several versions of the SOS1 method are presented along with theoretical and numerical results with an application to energy.
