Abstract:

Dual pairs of operations for equivalence classes of concave-convex functions are studied. Applications include a perturbational Duality Theorem theory for minimax problems. A good Lagrange multiplier principle for minimax problems in general is shown to be impossible, and a minimax version of Fenchels Duality is proved.
