Definition of minimax in English:

minimax

noun ˈmɪnɪmaksˈmɪniˌmæks

Mathematics

1The lowest of a set of maximum values.
〔数〕极小化的极大，极大中的极小。比较MAXIMIN
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

  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.
