Fictitious Play with Inertia Learns Pure Equilibria in Distributed Games with Incomplete Information

Date 2 May 2016
AbstractThe paper studies algorithms for learning pure-strategy Nash equilibria (NE) in networked multi-agent systems with uncertainty. In many such real-world systems, information is naturally distributed among agents and must be disseminated using a sparse inter-agent communication infrastructure. The paper considers a scenario in which (i) each agent may observe their own actions, but may not directly observe the actions of others, and (ii) agents have some uncertainty about the underlying state of the world. In order for an agent to obtain information pertaining to the action history of another, the information must be disseminated through a (possibly sparse) overlaid communication infrastructure. In order to learn pure-strategy NE in this setting, the paper studies a general class of learning dynamics based on the Fictitious Play (FP) algorithm which we refer to as inertial best response dynamics. As an application of this general result, the paper subsequently studies distributed implementations of the classical FP algorithm (with inertia), and the Joint Strategy FP (JSFP) algorithm (with inertia) in the above setting. Finally, numerical simulations are provided which verify the findings.
