In this paper,we explore state-based potential games using the semi-tensor product of matrices.First,applying the potential equation,we derive both a necessary and sufficient condition as well as a sufficient condition to verify whether a state-based game qualifies as a potential game.Next,we present two static equivalence conditions of state-based potential games.We then delve into dynamic equivalence.We propose a criterion that allows us to identify state-based games that are dynamically equivalent to state-based potential games and share similar dynamic properties.Ultimately,we introduce the concept of state-based networked evolutionary games.We provide a necessary and sufficient condition to ensure that a state-based networked evolutionary game can be classified as a state-based potential game.
