Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a notion of generalized potential games that is inspired by a newly developed theory on generalized gradient flows. More precisely, a game is called generalized potential if the simultaneous gradient of the loss functions is a nonlinear function of the gradient of a potential function. Applications include a class of games arising from chemical reaction networks with detailed balance condition. For this class of games, we prove an explicit exponential convergence to equilibrium for evolution of a single reversible reaction. Moreover, numerical investigations are performed to calculate the equilibrium state of some reversible chemical reactions which give rise to generalized potential games.
