A component of Nash equilibria is potentially stable if there exists an evolutionary selection dynamics from a broad class for which the component is asymptotically stable.

In order to get rid of the condition X=Y, we introduce an extension of the Dynkin game by allowing for an extended set of strategies, namely the set of mixed strategies. The main result of the paper is that the extended Dynkin game has a value when the processes X and Y are only restricted to be...
