It seems that a cabal equilibrium is the same thing as a strong Nash equilibrium; make a change to this effect.

The word "'''equilibrium'''" refers, among other things, to concepts of game theory. The most well-known equilibrium in game theory is the Nash equilibrium.

* [[Correlated equilibrium]], a solution concept in game theory that is more general than Nash equilibrium
* [[Nash equilibrium]], the basic solution concept in game theory
** [[Quasi-perfect equilibrium]], a refinement of Nash Equilibrium for extensive form games due to Eric van Damme
** [[Sequential equilibrium]], a refinement of Nash Equilibrium for games of incomplete information due to David M. Kreps and Robert Wilson
** [[Perfect Bayesian equilibrium]], a refinement of Nash equilibrium for games of incomplete information that is simpler to use than sequential equilibrium
* [[Symmetric equilibrium]], an equilibrium where all players use the same strategy
* [[Trembling hand perfect equilibrium]] assumes that the players, through a "slip of the hand" or tremble, may choose unintended strategies
** [[Proper equilibrium]] due to Roger B. Myerson, where costly trembles are made with smaller probabilities

According to some editors on [[electowiki]]:<ref>https://electowiki.org/w/index.php?title=Equilibrium&oldid=11149</ref>:
'''Nash equilibria''' are situations where each player has chosen a strategy and no single player could improve his situation by unilaterally changing strategy while all the other players keep their strategies.
 
<blockquote>
'''Cabal equilibria''' are situations where each player has chosen a strategy and no ''subset of players'' could simultaneously change behaviour (while those outside that subset keep their strategies) in a way that no player in that subset is worse off and at least one in the subset is better off.

'''Cabal equilibria''' or [[w:Strong Nash equilibrium|strong Nash equilibria]] are situations where each player has chosen a strategy and no ''subset of players'' could simultaneously change behaviour (while those outside that subset keep their strategies) in a way that no player in that subset is worse off and at least one in the subset is better off.
 
All cabal equilibria are Nash equilibria but not vice versa.

The term "cabal equilibrium" was devised by Peter de Blanc. It is difficult to find online by that name elsewhere.
