Oct 25, 2021 at 2:30 comment added Keith As @worldsmithhelper said, I want to obtain a solution that has a certain property.
Oct 24, 2021 at 10:08 comment added worldsmithhelper I understood "globally convergent" as guaranteeing to hit a point with certain properties (such as first or second order optimality criteria) from every (or no) starting point.
Oct 23, 2021 at 14:01 comment added Mark L. Stone The term "globally convergent" is frequently misunderstood. it means the algorithm converges to something, no matter the starting point. It does not means it converges to a global optimum.
Oct 23, 2021 at 10:16 comment added worldsmithhelper If you don't care about evaluating $\max _{y\in Y} f(x,y)$ correctly, you can just use a local NLP solver instead but you will be solving a very different problem,

Oct 23, 2021 at 8:52 comment added Keith I appreciate your detailed answer to this question. I do not know much about global optimization so it helped me to understand the practical way to solve the minimax problem. Unfortunately, the problem I consider is that the dimension of y is much high, that's why it is enough to obtain the solution that does not necessarily converge to the global optimal point but local optimal point for the inner maximization problem.
