arXiv:2606. 02337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constrained Multi-agent reinforcement learning (CMARL) faces two intertwined challenges: the joint action space grows exponentially with the number of agents, and additional requirements couple agents in ways that reward structure alone does not capture.

The paper introduces Reinforcement Learning Enhanced LLM Agents (RLEA), a multi‑agent framework that automates the modeling of complex Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs). RLEA employs a lightweight neural Planner trained with Soft Q‑learning to coordinate LLM‑based agents, and incorporates an evolutionary memory module and retrieval‑augmented generation to leverage experience and external solver knowledge. Experiments on 48 VRP variants show that RLEA outperforms the prior state‑of‑the‑art method, achieving a 16.67% higher success rate and significantly reducing runtime errors.

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.

The paper proposes a deployment‑focused framework for deadline‑constrained network control, introducing the Effective Congestion (EC) metric family and Uniform Path Grouping (UPG) heuristic to better capture traffic urgency and balance load. It integrates these with a Multi‑Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning architecture (MADRL EC (p*)) that combines a distributed scheduler and a centralized RL router. A unified training objective merges live‑reward, pre‑collected‑reward, and policy‑imitation terms, leading to the Model‑Guided Annealed Reinforcement Learning (MGA‑RL) protocol built on DDPG, which generalizes offline‑to‑online learning for demonstration‑driven training.
