In this paper, nonlinear minimax problems are discussed. Using Sequential Quadratic Programming and the generalised monotone line search technique, we propose a new algorithm for solving degenerate minimax problems. At each iteration of the proposed algorithm, a search direction is obtained by solving a new Quadratic Programming problem which always has a solution. Global convergence can be obtained without the regularity condition of linear independence. Finally, some numerical experiments are reported.
