Hello, I'm trying to solve numerically the following problem: min{z}max{y,x} f{x,y,z} I first do the maximization: fun1[z_] := NMaximize[{( Log[x] + 4/3 z Log[ y])/(2 (3/4 + z)), x > 0, y > 0, x + y == 1}, {x, y}][[1]] I can plot fun1[z] (the solution is at z=.75,x=y=1/2) however NMinimize does accept the definition of fun1[z] as: NMinimize[fun1[z], z] yields error. Any suggestion? Thank you in advance, David
