Nash equilibrium

Nash equilibrium

In game theory, a Nash equilibrium, named after John Nash, is a situation where each player's strategy is optimal given the known strategies of other players, and no player benefits from changing their strategy unilaterally. In such an equilibrium, every player's strategy choice perfectly anticipates the choices of other players, ensuring mutual best responses. Nash demonstrated that every finite game has at least one such equilibrium, which may involve mixed strategies.
