Abstract
In this paper, a new class of minimax programming problems is considered in which the functions involved are E-differentiable. The so-called parametric and nonparametric necessary E-optimality conditions are derived for the considered E-differentiable minimax programming problem. Further, sufficient optimality conditions are established for such nondifferentiable extremum problems under E-convexity hypotheses. Moreover, the example of a nonsmooth minimax programming problem with E-differentiable functions is given to illustrate the aforesaid results. Furthermore, the so-called Mond-Weir E-dual problem and Wolfe E-dual problem are defined for the considered E-differentiable minimax programming problem and several E-duality theorems are established also under appropriate E-convexity hypotheses.
