contents This paper studies the distributed minimax optimization problem over networks. To enhance convergence performance, we propose a distributed optimistic gradient tracking method, termed DOGT, which solves a surrogate function that captures the similarity between local objective functions to approximate a centralized optimistic approach locally. Leveraging a Lyapunov-based analysis, we prove that DOGT achieves linear convergence to the optimal solution for strongly convex-strongly concave objective functions while remaining robust to the heterogeneity among them. Moreover, by integrating an accelerated consensus protocol, the accelerated DOGT (ADOGT) algorithm achieves an optimal convergence rate of $\mathcal{O} \left( κ\log \left( ε^{-1} \right) \right)$ and communication complexity of $\mathcal{O} \left( κ\log \left( ε^{-1} \right) /\sqrt{1-\sqrt{ρ_W}} \right)$ for a suboptimality level of $ε>0$, where $κ$ is the condition number of the objective function and $ρ_W$ is the spectrum gap of the network. Numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
