Exact Algorithms for Multiagent Path Finding with Communication Constraints on Tree-Like Structures

The paper studies Multiagent Path Finding with limited communication ranges, aiming to minimize makespan while preserving a communication backbone. It presents three exact algorithms that are efficient for networks with tree or bounded‑treewidth topologies when the communication range and number of agents are given as input. The authors also prove that efficient algorithms are unlikely when the number of agents is part of the input, even for small makespan and communication range values.

Variance-reduced accelerated methods for decentralized stochastic double-regularized nonconvex strongly-concave minimax problems

arXiv:2307. 07113v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we consider the decentralized, stochastic nonconvex strongly-concave (NCSC) minimax problem with nonsmooth regularization terms on both primal and dual variables, wherein a network of $m$ computing agents collaborate via peer-to-peer communications.
