Max–min inequality
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the max–min inequality is as follows:
- For any function
When equality holds one says that f, W, and Z satisfies a strong max–min property (or a saddle-point property). The example function illustrates that the equality does not hold for every function.
A theorem giving conditions on f, W, and Z which guarantee the saddle point property is called a minimax theorem.
