I would like to know if the philosophy between Bellman equations and Minmax same? Both the algorithms look at full horizon and take into account potential gains (Bellman) and potential losses (Minmax). However do the two differ besides the obvious on the fact that Bellman equations use discounted potential rewards, while Minmax deals potential losses without discount. Are these enough to say they are similar in philosophy or is are they dissimilar. If so than in what sense?
