Game Theory and Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning: From Nash Equilibria to Evolutionary Dynamics
This paper reviews and extends previous work on Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), exploring how game theory can solve MARL challenges like non-stationarity, partial observability, scalability, and decentralized learning. It dives into advanced topics like Nash Equilibria, Evolutionary Game Theory (including Replicator Dynamics), Correlated Equilibrium, and Adversarial Dynamics, demonstrating how integrating these concepts into MARL algorithms (like Minimax-DQN, MERL, Correlated Q-Learning, LOLA, and GAIL) improves agent learning and coordination.
For LLM-based multi-agent systems, the paper's key takeaways are the use of game theory to model agent interaction for better coordination and strategy optimization, particularly in scenarios with partial information (like web environments where agents may have limited access to the overall system state). Algorithms like LOLA, which consider opponent learning, and GAIL, which uses imitation learning from expert demonstrations, offer potential paths for developing more sophisticated and robust LLM-based agents that can adapt and learn effectively within complex multi-agent web applications. The exploration of evolutionary dynamics and correlated equilibrium suggests ways to create more adaptive and cooperative LLM agents, even in decentralized web environments.
