Abstract

This contribution is in the field of Game Theory and Nash equilibria. The property of Tihkonov well posedness is analyzed in relation to other well posedeness properties which are ordinal, a very important property for games because it emphasizes the fact that players’ decisions are expressed by preferences and not by a special choice of utility function.

Relations between Twp of an exact potential game and Twp of potential function as maximum problem are considered too.
