What Does Trembling Hand Perfect Equilibrium Mean?
In game theory, an equilibrium state that takes into consideration the possibility of off-the-equilibrium play by assuming that the players’ trembling hands may choose unintended strategies, although this probability is small. Trembling hand perfect equilibrium is a refinement by German economist Reinhard Selten of the Nash equilibrium proposed by John Forbes Nash, Jr., who shared the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with Reinhard Selten and John Harsanyi, another game theorist.
