We exploit the biquadratic behavior w.r.t. a variable exhibited in the frequency domain by certain lumped, linear circuits. A globally convergent, extremely efficient minimax algorithm is developed to optimize the frequency response w.r.t. any circuit parameter. The algorithm converges to the global minimax optimum and the rate of convergence is at least of second order.
