The Synergy Between Optimal Transport Theory and Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
This paper explores the integration of optimal transport (OT) theory with multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). This integration uses OT to handle distributions and transportation problems to enhance the efficiency, coordination, and adaptability of MARL. There are five key areas where OT can impact MARL: (1) policy alignment, where OT's Wasserstein metric is used to align divergent agent strategies towards unified goals; (2) distributed resource management, employing OT to optimize resource allocation among agents; (3) addressing non-stationarity, using OT to adapt to dynamic environmental shifts; (4) scalable multi-agent learning, harnessing OT for decomposing large-scale learning objectives into manageable tasks; and (5) enhancing energy efficiency, applying OT principles to develop sustainable MARL systems. This paper articulates how the synergy between OT and MARL can address scalability issues, optimize resource distribution, align agent policies in cooperative environments, and ensure adaptability in dynamically changing conditions.

Information-Theoretic Equivalence of Entropic Multi-Marginal Optimal Transport: A Theory for Multi-Agent Communication
In this paper, we propose our information-theoretic equivalence of entropic multi-marginal optimal transport (MOT). This equivalence can be easily reduced to the case of entropic optimal transport (OT). Because OT is wid…
