For estimating a nonlinear aspect of a linear model maximin efficient designs art derived for the case that the support of the regarded designs is given and provides linearly independent regressors. Besides a general result two special results are presented, which provide maximin efficient designs under simple conditions. One of these results gives a simple condition so that the uniform design is maximin efficient. The other result deals with designs with a two-point support. These results have many applications. This is demonstrated by several examples including the problems of estimating the maximum point and the maximum value of quadratic response functions, the linear calibration problem, the problem of regression-based ratio estimation and the problems of estimating the relative effect of an additional factor and the equivalence of two treatments. Some of these examples repeat results which were already derived in the literature by straightforward methods. At last the application of the results to nonlinear models is shortly discussed.
