In this paper the weighted potential incomplete-profile games are studied. First a potential equation with algebraic form is established to check whether an incomplete-profile normal form game (IPNFG) is a weighted potential game with weight w > 0 or not, based on which, the potential function can be constructed. Then the weighted potential subspace and the non-strategic subspace and some properties of weighted potential incomplete-profile games are obtained. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our theoretical results. INDEX TERMS Incomplete-profile games, weighted potential subspace, non-strategic subspace, semitensor product of matrices.
