In this paper we discuss the level set method of Joó and how to use it to give an elementary proof of the well-known Sion’s minimax result. Although this proof technique is initiated by Joó and based on the inter-section of upper level sets and a clever use of the topological notion...

In this paper we discuss necessary and sufficient conditions for different minimax results to hold using only linear programming duality and the finite intersection property of compact sets. It turns out that these necessary and sufficient conditions have a clear interpretation within zero-sum...

In this paper we review known minimax results with applications in game theory and show that these results are easy consequences of the first minimax result for a two person zero sum game with finite strategy sets published by von Neumann in 1928: Among these results are the well known minimax...

In this note we review some known minimax theorems with applications in game theory and show that these results form an equivalent chain which includes the strong separation result in finite dimensional spaces between two disjoint closed convex sets of which one is compact. By simplifying the...
