Mathematics

1The lowest of a set of maximum values.
Compare with maximin
Example sentencesExamples
- The methods include the study of stable and unstable manifolds, bifurcations, index and degree, and construction of orbits as minima and minimaxes of action functionals.
1. 1.1as modifier (in game theory) denoting a strategy that minimizes the greatest risk to a participant.
  Example sentencesExamples
  This paper introduced the idea of minimax reasoning for lower bounding randomized algorithms, and appeared only in FOCS 83.
  Michie recalls Turing experimenting with heuristics that later became common in chess programming (in particular minimax and best-first).
  There are real problems of deciding whether a given ‘game’ has a global minimax or multiple local minimaxes or a minimax at all!
2. 1.2as modifier Denoting the theory that in a game with two players, a player's smallest possible maximum loss is equal to the same player's greatest possible minimum gain.
  Example sentencesExamples
  One possible solution is the minimax search algorithm.
  In game theory von Neumann proved the minimax theorem.

Origin
