Generalized minimax inequalities for set-valued mappings

In this paper, we study generalized minimax inequalities in a Hausdorff topological vector space, in which the minimization and the maximization of a two-variable set-valued mapping are alternatively taken in the sense of vector optimization. We establish two types of minimax inequalities by employi...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we study generalized minimax inequalities in a Hausdorff topological vector space, in which the minimization and the maximization of a two-variable set-valued mapping are alternatively taken in the sense of vector optimization. We establish two types of minimax inequalities by employing a nonlinear scalarization function and its strict monotonicity property. Our results are obtained under weaker convexity assumptions than those existing in the literature. Several examples are given to illustrate our results.
