What preferences can - and cannot - predict in multi-agent online learning

arXiv:2608. 13810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We examine the interplay between ordinal, preference-based solution concepts in games and the long-run behavior of game dynamics, asking in particular to what extent the combinatorial data of a game -- its preference graph -- determine the outcomes of no-regret learning dynamics -- such as follow-the-regularized-leader (FTRL).

An Evolutionary Computation Framework for Multi-Agent Q-Learning with Mean-Field Environmental Feedback

The paper presents a mean‑field framework for studying multi‑agent Q‑learning in networked populations, where agents update stateless Q‑values on a fixed graph while the average behavior of the population feeds back to modify the payoff matrix. A deterministic transport equation for the distribution of Q‑values is derived and coupled with a discrete update for the environmental state, and the model is validated against Monte Carlo simulations on several random graph topologies. Results show that the mean‑field system captures macroscopic cooperation dynamics, that environmental feedback reshapes action‑value ordering, and that the timescale of environmental response critically influences learning outcomes.
