Classes of multiojectives games possessing Pareto equilibria

In this paper we study non cooperative games with potential as introduced by Monderer and Shapley in 1996. We extend the notions of weighted and ordinal potential games to a multicriteria setting and study their Pareto equilibria. The importance of these games is the existence of Pareto equilibria i...
