Abstract :
In a differential game or in the worst case design of an uncertain system, a saddle point solution may not exist. In such cases a rational optimality criterion is minmax. This short paper presents a sufficient condition for a control to be an open-loop minmax control. The use of the condition is illustrated with examples.
