    The paper addresses the field of game theory and, in particular, convergence and approximation within potential games. Convergence speed to approximately optimal states is investigated within selfish routing games and cut games. The authors provide bounds in terms of the number of rounds, model the sequential interaction between players by a best-response walk in the state graph; the goal is to bound the social value of the states at the end of these walks -- by taking into account the cut and the total happiness as the social functions.
