strategiescovering
Strategiescovering is a term used in decision theory and related fields to describe a framework for selecting a compact set of strategies that collectively address all relevant contingencies or outcomes in a given problem. The phrase is not widely standardized, but it is often applied wherever multiple scenarios must be managed by a limited set of actions.
A strategy cover, in a finite game or decision problem, is a subset of strategies such that
From a computational perspective, finding the smallest effective strategy cover often corresponds to a set cover
Applications of strategiescovering appear in robust planning under uncertainty, contingency planning in operations research, security and
