Minimax

Minimax (sometimes minmax) is a method in decision theory for minimizing the maximum possible loss. It started from two player zero-sum game theory, covering both the cases where players take alternate moves and those where they make simultaneous moves. It has also been extended to more complex games and to general decision making in the presence of uncertainty.
