Hello friends,
Kindly let me know if fmincon can be used to execute bilevel optimization. I have to minimize a function which has three nested minimization functions. Can this be accomplished using fmincon?

Yes, fmincon has been used for bilevel nested optimization. I've used it
for Collaborative Optimization implementations, which have a bilevel
structure.
