Abstract

Game theory is a mathematical framework for strategy analysis and design as well as for optimal decision-making under conflict and behavioral uncertainty. On the one hand, game theory plays a key role for modern economics; on the other, it suggests possible approaches and solutions for complex strategic problems in various fields of human activity.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Originates from The Bible, Acts 20:35: “In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.”’

  2. 2.

    Give equal shares to all. Daniel Defoe appears to be the first to have used this phrase in The Life and Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1719): “He declar’d he had reserv’d nothing from the Men, and went Share and Share alike with them in every Bit they eat.”

  3. 3.

    People should accept the way other people live and behave, especially if they do things in a different way.

  4. 4.

    A fragment from Ruslan and Lyudmila, a poem by Aleksandr S. Pushkin, (1799–1837), a Russian poet, novelist, dramatist, and short-story writer. Considered as the greatest poet and founder of modern Russian literature.
