A Formal Model for Multiagent Q-Learning Dynamics on Regular Graphs

Abstract

Modeling the dynamics of multi-agent learning has long been an important research topic. The focus of previous research has been either on 2-agent settings or well-mixed infinitely large agent populations. In this paper, we consider the scenario where n Q-learning agents locate on regular graphs, such that agents can only interact with their neighbors. We examine the local interactions between individuals and their neighbors, and derive a formal model to capture the Q-value dynamics of the entire population. Through comparisons with agent-based simulations on different types of regular graphs, we show that our model describes the agent learning dynamics in an exact manner.
