Editing Potential function

The term '''potential function''' may refer to:

* A mathematical [[function (mathematics)|function]], whose values are given by a [[scalar potential]] or [[vector potential]]
* The [[electric potential]], in the context of [[electrodynamics]], is formally described by both a scalar electrostatic potential and a [[magnetic vector potential]]
* The class of functions known as [[harmonic function]]s, which are the topic of study in [[potential theory]]
* The potential function of a [[potential game]]
* In the [[potential method]] of amortized analysis, a function describing an investment of resources by past operations that can be used by future operations
