Constraint-Aware Aggregation for Federated Reinforcement Learning in Microgrid Energy Coordination

arXiv:2607. 12763v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated Reinforcement Learning (FedRL) enables coordination of distributed energy resources without sharing raw local data, but standard aggregation methods such as FedAvg do not account for system-level constraints, often leading to unsafe global behavior.

Optimization without Future Compromises? Decentralized Coordination via Collective and Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces Hierarchical Reinforcement and Collective Learning (HRCL), a framework that combines multi‑agent reinforcement learning (MARL) with decentralized coordination. HRCL uses MARL at a high level to generate strategic guidance that limits the decision space for low‑level agents, enabling efficient short‑term coordination while considering long‑term effects. Experiments on synthetic, energy‑management, and drone‑swarm scenarios demonstrate faster convergence and significant reductions in system‑wide and individual costs compared to standalone MARL.

A Distributionally Robust Reinforcement Learning Framework for Constrained Urban EV Dispatch

arXiv:2604. 25848v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study city-scale control of electric-vehicle (EV) ride-hailing fleets where dispatch, repositioning, and charging decisions must respect charger and feeder limits under uncertain, spatially correlated demand and travel times.

Distributed Constraint Optimization via Online Learning and Iterative Pricing with Application to Large-Scale Satellite Scheduling

arXiv:2607. 25835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs) provide a popular framework for distributed decision making under limited communication, but many real-world instances are too large to solve monolithically.

Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Radio Resource Management under Coupled Finite-Horizon Constraints

arXiv:2608. 01745v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Maximizing throughput under proportional fairness in dense wireless networks requires jointly managing user association, scheduling, base station (BS) activation, and handover control under hard finite-horizon energy and handover budgets, which induces a fundamental tension between BS-side energy management and user-side handover regulation.

Learning to Harvest Without Collapse in a Regenerative Commons: A Lagrangian Framework

The paper introduces a Lagrangian framework for managing a regenerative commons, framing the problem as a constrained Markov game with a specified depletion budget. It constructs policy sequences from unconstrained solutions, extending time‑average concepts to reset episodes with discounted rewards and terminal costs, and provides theoretical guarantees such as reward‑independent feasibility, cooperative feasibility, and approximate optimality. Experiments on a fishery model using constrained IPPO and MAPPO illustrate how depletion budgets influence stock retention, harvest rewards, and price adaptation.
