In game theory, the best response is the strategy (or strategies) which produces the most favorable outcome for a player, taking other players' strategies as given (; ). The concept of a best response is central to John Nash's best-known contribution, the Nash equilibrium, the point at which each player in a game has selected the best response (or one of the best responses) to the other players' strategies . Correspondence Reaction correspondences, also known as best response correspondences, are used in the proof of the existence of mixed strategy Nash equilibria (, Section 1.3.B; , Section 2.2). Reaction correspondences are not "reaction functions" since functions must only have one value per argument, and many reaction correspondences will be undefined, i.e., a vertical line, for some opponent strategy choice. One constructs a correspondence b(\cdot), for each player from the set of opponent strategy profiles into the set of the player's strategies. So, for any given set o ...
