## Nonsmooth equations approach to a constrained minimax problem.(English)Zbl 1099.90075

Summary: An equivalent model of nonsmooth equations for a constrained minimax problem is derived by using a KKT optimality condition. The Newton method is applied to solving this system of nonsmooth equations. To perform the Newton method, the computation of an element of the $$b$$-differential for the corresponding function is developed.
