A NEW TRUST-REGION ALGORITHM FOR FINITE MINIMAX PROBLEM

In this paper, a new trust region algorithm for minimax optimization problems is proposed, which solves only one quadratic subproblem based on a new approximation model at each iteration. The approach is different from the traditional algorithms that usually require to solve two quadratic subproblems. Moreover, to avoid Maratos effect, the nonmonotone strategy is employed. The analysis shows that, under standard conditions, the algorithm has global and superlinear convergence. Preliminary numerical experiments are conducted to show the efficiency of the new method.
