Game theory is a mathematical theory used to determine optimal strategies in situations involving conflict or competition. It uses probability and risk assessment to analyze strategic decisions between multiple players, where the outcome depends on the actions of all participants. Common applications include military strategy, economics, and competitive games. Key concepts in game theory include zero-sum games, the prisoner's dilemma, Nash equilibrium, and using cooperative or non-cooperative strategies. While it provides a framework for rational decision-making, critics argue game theory cannot account for all variables or irrational human behavior.
