The article is devoted to the development of algorithmic methods ensuring efficient complexity bounds for strongly convex-concave saddle point problems in the case when one of the groups of variables is high-dimensional, and the other is relatively low-dimensional (up to a hundred). The proposed technique is based on reducing problems of this type to a problem of minimizing a convex (maximizing a concave) functional in one of the variables, for which it is possible to find an approximate gradient at an arbitrary point with the required accuracy using an auxiliary optimization subproblem with another variable. In this case, the ellipsoid method is used for low-dimensional problems (if necessary, with an inexact $δ$-subgradient), and accelerated gradient methods are used for high-dimensional problems. For the case of a very small dimension of one of the groups of variables (up to 5), an approach based on a new version of the multidimensional analog of the Yu. E. Nesterov's method on the square (multidimensional dichotomy) is proposed with the possibility of using inexact values of the gradient of the objective functional.
