A Topological Minimax Theorem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a topological minimax theorem (Theorem 2.2). The topological assumptions on the spaces involved are somewhat weaker than those usually found in the literature. Even when reinterpreted in the convex setting of topological vector spaces, our theorem yields nonnegligible improvements, for example, of the Passy–Prisman theorem and consequently of the Sion theorem, contrary to most results on topological minimax. This work is part of our ongoing effort to elaborate a coherent theory of minimax.

Topological Minimax Theorems: Old and New
We review and extend the main topological minimax theorems based on connectedness that have been developed over the years since the pioneering paper of Wu (1959). It is shown in particular that the topological minimax theorems of Geraghty and Lin (1984) are essentially a rediscovery of much earlier results of Tuy (1974), while the latter can be derived from a minimax theorem recently developed ...
متن کاملFull characterizations of minimax inequality, fixed point theorem, saddle point theorem, and KKM principle in arbitrary topological spaces
This paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions for some important problems from optimization and non-linear analysis by replacing two typical conditions—continuity and quasiconcavity with a unique condition, weakening topological vector spaces to arbitrary topological spaces that may be discrete, continuum, non-compact or non-convex. We establish a single...
متن کاملA Simple Proof of the Sion Minimax Theorem
For convex subsets X of a topological vector space E, we show that a KKM principle implies a Fan-Browder type fixed point theorem and that this theorem implies generalized forms of the Sion minimax theorem. The von Neumann-Sion minimax theorem is fundamental in convex analysis and in game theory. von Neumann [8] proved his theorem for simplexes by reducing the problem to the 1-dimensional cases...
متن کاملA Full Characterization on Fixed-Point Theorem, Minimax Inequality, Saddle Point, and KKM Theorem
This paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for fixed-point theorems, minimax inequalities and some related theorems defined on arbitrary topological spaces that may be discrete, continuum, non-compact or non-convex. We establish a single condition, γ-recursive transfer lower semicontinuity, which fully characterizes the existence of equilibrium of minimax inequality without imposin...
