New research analyzes optimal strategies in adversarial multi-agent bidding games

This paper analyzes the interaction of optimal strategies in mean-payoff bidding games, a type of multi-agent system where agents are designed to act adversarially. The research focuses on bidding games played on a graph, where auctions determine token movement and generate infinite paths for utility calculation. The study investigates the play generated when agents optimize against an adversary, showing that under certain conditions, the resulting play is ultimately periodic and developing algorithms to compute player utilities.

    Analyzing the Interaction of Optimal Strategies in Mean-Payoff Bidding Games

    A common assumption when designing an agent in a multi-agent system is that the other agents behave adversarially. This allows a designer to obtain the strongest guarantees when they have no control over nor knowledge about the other agents' behavior. However, when all agents are…
