Abstract

Using the definitions of potential functions and ordinal potential functions of strategic form games, we characterize two classes of potential games and give the solving method of the equilibria of finite potential games by testing and verifying potential games. The main contribution is proving that public goods games and social coordination games based on location strategic interaction with an exogenous network are potential games, and giving the equilibria by the method of solving potential games and ordinal potential games.
