Game Theory-Based Control System Algorithms with Real-Time Reinforcement Learning: How to Solve Multiplayer Games Online

Complex human-engineered systems involve an interconnection of multiple decision makers (or agents) whose collective behavior depends on a compilation of local decisions that are based on partial information about each other and the state of the environment [1]-[4]. Strategic interactions among agents in these systems can be modeled as a multiplayer simultaneous-move game [5]-[8]. The agents involved can have conflicting objectives, and it is natural to make decisions based upon optimizing individual payoffs or costs.
