An outcome of a game is Pareto dominated if some other outcome would make at least one player better off without
hurting any other player. That is, some other outcome is weakly preferred by all players and strictly preferred by
at least one player. If an outcome is not Pareto dominated by any other, than it is
Pareto optimal, named after
Vilfredo Pareto.
