Multi-player Game Theory is a branch of mathematical study that analyzes strategic interactions involving multiple decision-makers, or players. It explores how individuals or groups make decisions in competitive or cooperative settings where the outcome for each participant depends on the choices of others. The theory is widely applied in economics, political science, biology, computer science, and various social sciences to understand behavior in complex interactive environments.
