  • This work addresses the issue of the convergence of an $N$-player game towards a limit model involving a continuum of players, as the number of agents $N$ goes to infinity. More precisely, we investigate the convergence of Nash equilibria to a Cournot--Nash equilibrium of the limit model. When the cost function of the players is the first variation of some potential function, equilibria can be characterized by a stationarity condition, satisfied in particular by the minimizers of the potential. We demonstrate such a characterization under low regularity assumptions. Then we focus on the case where the players interact in a pairwise fashion; in this case we show that the original sequence of $N$-player games also admit a potential structure and prove that their corresponding potential functions converge in the sense of $Γ$-convergence to the potential function of the limit game.
