The main aim of this paper is to establish sufficient optimality conditions using an upper estimate of Clarke subdifferential of value function and the concept of convexifactor for optimistic bilevel programming problems with convex and non-convex lower-level problems. For this purpose, the notions of asymptotic pseudoconvexity and asymptotic quasiconvexity are defined in terms of the convexifactors.

Keywords: Bilevel programming problem, convexifactors, value function, constraint qualifications, optimality conditions.
