Applying twice a minimax theorem

Abstract: Here is one of the results obtained in this paper: Let

X, Y

be two convex sets each in a real vector space, let

be convex and without global minima in

X

and concave in

Y

, and let

be strictly convex. Also, assume that, for some topology on

X

,

P h i

is lower semicontinuous and, for each

y i n Y

and

l a m b d a > 0

,

J (c d o t, y)

is lower semicontinuous and

J (c d o t, y) + l a m b d a P h i (c d o t)

is inf-compact. Then, for each

r i n] i n f_{X} P h i, s u p_{X} P h i [

and for each closed set

S s u b s e t e q X

satisfying

Phi^{-1}(r)subseteq Ssubseteq Phi^{-1}(]-infty,r]) ,

one has

sup_Yinf_SJ=inf_Ssup_YJ .
