	SmartSettle and A Beautiful Mind
		In "Lectures on Negotiation Analysis" (7), Professor Emeritus Howard Raiffa (Harvard), a respected pioneer in the field of decision analysis, argues that the “Maximize the Minimum Gain” rule (8) may actually be better than the “Maximize the Utility Product” rule for producing fair optimal solutions (9).
		However, Raiffa also concedes that which of these algorithms is used makes very little difference in practice.
		The name “maximin” has also been applied to many other situations in which the idea is to choose the course of action that is likely to cause the least harm.
