Three-Player Game Training Dynamics
This work explores three-player game training dynamics, under what conditions three-player games converge and the equilibria the converge on. In contrast to prior work, we examine a three-player game architecture in which all players explicitly interact with each other. Prior work analyzes games in which two of three agents interact with only one other player, constituting dual two-player games. We explore three-player game training dynamics using an extended version of a simplified bilinear smooth game, called a simplified trilinear smooth game. We find that trilinear games do not converge on the Nash equilibrium in most cases, rather converging on a fixed point which is optimal for two players, but not for the third. Further, we explore how the order of the updates influences convergence. In addition to alternating and simultaneous updates, we explore a new update order--maximizer-first--which is only possible in a three-player game. We find that three-player games can converge on a Nash equilibrium using maximizer-first updates. Finally, we experiment with differing momentum values for each player in a trilinear smooth game under all three update orders and show that maximizer-first updates achieve more optimal results in a larger set of player-specific momentum value triads than other update orders.

We study adaptive learning in a typical p-player game. The payoffs of the games are randomly generated and then held fixed. The strategies of the players evolve through time as the players learn. The trajectories in the …
Distributed Nash Equilibrium Seeking Algorithm Design for Multi-Cluster Games with High-Order Players
In this paper, a multi-cluster game with high-order players is investigated. Different from the well-known multi-cluster games, the dynamics of players are taken into account in our problem. Due to the high-order dynamic…

This work introduces the concept of Variable Size Game Theory (VSGT), in which the number of players in a game is a strategic decision made by the players themselves. We start by discussing the main examples in game theo…
