New algorithms tackle general-sum games with continuous action spaces

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed new distributed algorithms for approximating general-sum games with continuous action spaces. These algorithms address the challenge of calculating the tightest \(\alpha\)-potential approximation when players only have access to their own utility functions. The proposed methods involve a finite-tuple reformulation and can be combined with either a primal-dual inner oracle or a projected zeroth-order outer method, offering a tradeoff between accuracy and computation time.

    Distributed Algorithms for $α$-Potential Functions in General-Sum Games

    We study the problem of computing the tightest \(α\)-potential approximation of a general-sum game over continuous action spaces, within a prescribed class of potential functions and when each player has access only to its own utility function. The difficulty is twofold: the appr…
