# Keywords and Notations

📗 Adversarial Search
📗 Sequential Game (Alpha Beta Pruning): prune the tree if \(\alpha \geq \beta\), where \(\alpha\) is the current value of the MAX player and \(\beta\) is the current value of the MIN player.
📗 Simultaneous Move Game (rationalizable): remove an action \(s_{i}\) of player \(i\) if it is strictly dominated \(F\left(s_{i}, s_{-i}\right) < F\left(s'_{i}, s_{-i}\right)\), for some \(s'_{i}\) of player \(i\) and for all \(s_{-i}\) of the other players.
📗 Simultaneous Move Game (Nash equilibrium): \(\left(s_{i}, s_{-i}\right)\) is a (pure strategy) Nash equilibrium if \(F\left(s_{i}, s_{-i}\right) \geq F\left(s'_{i}, s_{-i}\right)\) and \(F\left(s_{i}, s_{-i}\right) \geq F\left(s_{i}, s'_{-i}\right)\), for all \(s'_{i}, s'_{-i}\).
