✦ Synopsis


We consider the simultaneous linear minimax estimation problem in linear models with ellipsoidal constraints imposed on an unknown parameter. Using convex analysis, we derive necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a matrix to define the linear minimax estimator. For certain regions of the set of characteristics of linear models and constraints, we exploit these optimality conditions and get explicit formulae for linear minimax estimators.

We consider the minimax-linear estimator in a linear regression model with circular constraints. Two necessary and sufficient conditions for the optimality of an estimator, the socalled left spectral equation and the right spectral equation (Girko spectral equation), are derived. For the special cas
