Finding Second-Order Stationary Points in Nonconvex-Strongly-Concave Minimax Optimization

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Most of existing works focus on finding the first-order stationary point of the function $f({\bf x},{\bf y})$ or its primal function $P({\bf x})\triangleq \max_{\bf y} f({\bf x},{\bf y})$, but few of them focus on achieving the second-order stationary point, which is essential to nonconvex problems.
