| Summary: | Classical minimax theory due to Von Neumann, together with duality and saddle point analysis, has played a critical role in optimization and game theory. Today we recognize that minimax problems and techniques appear in a broad spectrum of disciplines including game theory, optimization, and computational complexity. There are many interesting and sophisticated problems formulated as minimax applications such as, in the field of combinatorial optimization, problems of scheduling, location, allocation, packing, searching and triangulation. The contributions in this volume cover a diverse range of topics and provide a good picture of recent research and developments in minimax theory. The material in the book is accessible to graduate students as well as researchers in optimization, computer sciences and related areas. |
