Some minimax inequalities are first proved both in the compact case and in the non-compact case using the concept of escaping sequences introduced by Border. Applications are given to deduce a generalisation of the Gale-Nikaido-Debreu Lemma due to Mehta and Tarafdar and to obtain a new generalisation of the Gale-Nikaido-Debreu Lemma from which the corresponding generalisation due to Grandmont is derived.
