31Role-playing game theory — A role playing game theory is an academic or critical study of role playing games (RPGs) as a social or artistic phenomenon. RPG theories often seek to understand what a role playing game is, and what makes good role playing games. They are… …
32Core (game theory) — The core is the set of feasible allocations that cannot be improved upon by a subset (a coalition) of the economy s consumers. A coalition is said to improve upon or block a feasible allocation if the members of that coalition are better off… …
33Strategy (game theory) — In game theory, a player s strategy in a game is a complete plan of action for whatever situation might arise; this fully determines the player s behaviour. A player s strategy will determine the action the player will take at any stage of the… …
34Outcome (game theory) — In game theory, an outcome is a set of moves or strategies taken by the players, or their payoffs resulting from the actions or strategies taken by all players. The two are complementary in that, given knowledge of the set of strategies of all… …
35Evolutionary game theory — (EGT) is the application of interaction dependent strategy drift in populations to game theory. It originated in 1973 with John Maynard Smith and George R. Price s formalization of evolutionary stable strategies as an application of the… …
36Deadlock (game theory) — C D c 1, 1 0, 3 d 3, 0 2, 2 In game theory, Deadlock is a game where the action that is mutually most beneficial is also dominant. (An example payoff matrix for Deadlock is pictured to the right.) This provides a contrast to the Prisoner s… …
37Dominance (game theory) — In game theory, dominance (also called strategic dominance) occurs when one strategy is better than another strategy for one player, no matter how that player s opponents may play. Many simple games can be solved using dominance.The opposite,… …
38Folk theorem (game theory) — infobox equilibrium name= Folk theorem subsetof = Minimax, Nash Equilibrium discoverer = various, notably Ariel Rubinstein usedfor = Infinitely repeated games example = Repeated prisoner s dilemma In game theory, folk theorems are a class of… …
39Quantum game theory — Quantum game theory, concisely put, is an extension of classical game theory to the quantum domain. It differs from classical game theory in three primary ways: #Superposed initial states, #Quantum Entanglement of initial states, #Superposition… …
40Star (game theory) — This article is about the concept from combinatorial game theory. For the board game Star, see Star (board game). For the board game *Star, see *Star. In combinatorial game theory, star, written as * or * 1, is the value given to the game where… …
