Personalized Federated Reinforcement Learning via Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning: Convergence of Exact and Hessian-Free Meta-Policy Gradients

arXiv:2609. 22833v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study personalized federated reinforcement learning, in which $n$ agents, each acting in its own Markov decision process, collaborate through a server to learn a shared MAML-style policy initialization that becomes effective for an individual agent once that agent adapts it with a single local policy-gradient step.

Differentiable Policy Transport over Multi-Layer Network Feasibility Geometry

The paper introduces Network Feasibility Geometry Reinforcement Learning (NFG‑RL), a method that enforces multi‑layer network constraints—such as interference, power‑rate coupling, flow conservation, service chains, capacity, latency, and reliability—by transporting a proto‑policy through a differentiable feasibility map. By compiling heterogeneous constraints into typed residual blocks and using a variational transport operator, NFG‑RL ensures almost‑sure feasible execution and shapes exploration and gradients to respect active constraints. Experiments on two wireless‑edge surrogate environments show that NFG‑RL boosts feasible utility by 37.5–41.5 %, cuts raw‑action violations by 48.5–60.8 %, and reduces P99 delay by 57.0–75.5 % compared to leading baselines.
