Provably Learning Nash Policies in Constrained Markov Potential Games

Pragnya Alatur, Giorgia Ramponi, Niao He +1

Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) addresses sequential decision-making problems with multiple agents, where each agent optimizes its own objective. In many real-world insta…

Sharp Analysis of Stochastic Optimization under Global Kurdyka-Łojasiewicz Inequality

Ilyas Fatkhullin, Jalal Etesami, Niao He +1

We study the complexity of finding the global solution to stochastic nonconvex optimization when the objective function satisfies global Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL) inequality and the…
