Game theory, also known as "game theory" and "game theory", belongs to a branch of applied mathematics and has become one of the standard analytical tools of economics. At present, it is widely used in biology, economics, international relations, computer science, political science, military strategy and many other disciplines. Game theory mainly studies the interaction between formulaic incentive structures. It is a mathematical theory and method to study phenomena with the nature of struggle or competition. It is also an important topic in operational research. Game theory considers the individual's predictive behavior and actual behavior in the game, and studies their optimization strategies. Biologists use game theory to understand and predict some results of evolution.
