A Lagrangian framework addresses the challenge of finding Distributionally Robust Nash Equilibria in multi-agent systems where agents possess heterogeneous and private data by reformulating the problem into a tractable variational inequality. This approach enables individual agents to tune risk aversion via penalty parameters, resulting in an online projected gradient algorithm that converges at an average rate of O(1/sqrt(T) + "\u03B5") and yields improved out-of-sample performance in simulations.
Key insights
- The Lagrangian formulation preserves the non-cooperative nature of multi-agent games by allowing agents to manage heterogeneous, private ambiguity sets via individual penalty terms.
- Strong monotonicity of the reformulated game's pseudo-gradient mapping ensures the uniqueness of the Distributionally Robust Nash Equilibrium (DRNE) and provides theoretical grounds for algorithmic convergence.
- Online learning with average regret guarantees offers a quantifiable framework for agents to adaptively find approximate DRNEs in dynamic, data-driven environments.
