Abstract
A class of non cooperative games characterized by a "congestion effect" is studied, in which there exists a strong Nash equilibrium, and the set of Nash equilibria, the set of strong Nash equilibria and the set of strategy profiles maximizing the potential function coincide. The structure of the class is investigated and it turns out that this class constitutes a cone. Remarks on strictly strong Nash equilibria and relaxations are provided.Keywords
