In the generalized Nash equilibrium problem not only the cost function of a player depends on the rival players' decisions, but also his constraints. This thesis presents different iterative methods for the numerical computation of a generalized Nash equilibrium, some of them globally, others locally superlinearly convergent. These methods are based on either reformulations of the generalized Nash equilibrium problem as an optimization problem, or on a fixed point formulation. The key tool for these reformulations is the Nikaido-Isoda function. Numerical results for various problem from the literature are given.
A new class of optimization problems name 'mathematical programs with vanishing constraints (MPVCs)' is considered. MPVCs are on the one hand very challenging from a theoretical viewpoint, since standard constraint qualifications such as LICQ, MFCQ, or ACQ are most often violated, and hence, the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions do not provide necessary optimality conditions off-hand. Thus, new CQs and the corresponding optimality conditions are investigated. On the other hand, MPVCs have important applications, e.g., in the field of topology optimization. Therefore, numerical algorithms for the solution of MPVCs are designed, investigated and tested for certain problems from truss-topology-optimization.
