The woman would prefer the ballet. Both would prefer to go to the same event rather than different ones.

Game theory has come to play an increasingly important role in logic and in computer science. Several logical theories have a basis in game semantics. In addition, computer scientists have used games to model interactive computations. Also, game theory provides a theoretical basis to the field of multi-agent systems. [124]
Constant sum: A game is a constant sum game if the sum of the payoffs to every player are the same for every single set of strategies. In these games, one player gains if and only if another player loses. A constant sum game can be converted into a zero sum game by subtracting a fixed value from all payoffs, leaving their relative order unchanged.
A higher-order simultaneous game [4] is a generalization of a Simultaneous game in which players are defined by selection functions rather than by utility functions. Formally, a higher-order simultaneous game for n players contains the following elements: A set R of outcomes. For each player i, a set X i of choices (possible actions).
The prisoner's dilemma is a game theory thought experiment involving two rational agents, each of whom can either cooperate for mutual benefit or betray their partner ("defect") for individual gain. The dilemma arises from the fact that while defecting is rational for each agent, cooperation yields a higher payoff for each.

Role-playing game theory is the study of role-playing games (RPGs) as a social or artistic phenomenon, also known as ludology.RPG theories seek to understand what role-playing games are, how they function, and how the gaming process can be refined in order to improve the play experience and produce better game products.
