Abstract

This paper is concerned with minimax theorems in vectorvalued optimization. A class of vector-valued functions which includes separated functionsf(x, y)=u(x)+v(y) as its proper subset is introduced. Minimax theorems and cone saddle-point theorems for this class of functions are investigated.
