Abstract

The aim of this article is to study potential games which are a special class of games, in fact their properties are dictated by a single function called the potential function. We consider Tikhonov well-posedness and other well-posedness properties introduced by the authors in Margiocco et al. (Margiocco, M., Patrone, F. and Pusillo Chicco, L., 1997, A new approach to Tikhonov well-posedness for Nash equilibria. Optimization, 40, 385-400) Margiocco and Pusillo (Margiocco, M. and Pusillo, L., Value bounded approximations for Nash equilibria, Preprint, Submitted). We relate these properties with the Tikhonov well posedness of the potential function as maximum problem.
