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.

Stable and Budget-Feasible Coalition Formation for Clustered Federated Learning: A Hedonic Potential-Game Approach

arXiv:2607. 26788v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clustered federated learning benefits from organizing heterogeneous participants into coalitions that train coalition-specific models, but such clustering is sustainable only if participants prefer their assigned coalition and the required transfers are affordable.
