New learning scheme APLA introduced for noisy game optimization

This paper introduces a novel learning scheme called aspiration-based perturbed learning automata (APLA) for distributed optimization in games with noisy utility measurements. APLA enhances standard reinforcement learning by incorporating an aspiration factor that reflects a player's satisfaction level, aiming to improve convergence to desirable Nash equilibria. The research provides a stochastic stability analysis for APLA in multi-player positive-utility games, establishing an equivalence between infinite and finite-dimensional Markov chains. AI

    Aspiration-based Perturbed Learning Automata in Games with Noisy Utility Measurements. Part A: Stochastic Stability in Non-zero-Sum Games

    arXiv:2511.11602v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement-based learning has attracted considerable attention both in modeling human behavior as well as in engineering, for designing measurement- or payoff-based optimization schemes. Such learning schemes exhibit several …
