Its solution is a saddle point,which is illustrated in the following figure.

Minimax problems widely exist in engineering design and management decision. Minimisation and/or maximisation problems can also be changed into dual minimax problems by introducing the Lagrangian penlity function.

A general conjugate vector algorithm and a group coordinate method had been developed to solve continoue minimax problems.
