摘要
So-called potential functions are important, prominent, and common to many diverse fields, including optimization, dynamic processes, and physics. Monderer and Shapley have added a class of noncooperative games to that list. In the present paper, their notion is extended and repeated play of such games is considered. A unified convergence analysis is provided and procedures that account for efficiency or viability are shown.
