Non-linear dynamics in multiagent reinforcement learning algorithms
Several multiagent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms have been proposed to optimize agents' decisions. Only a subset of these MARL algorithms both do not require agent...

Convergence at prominent agents: a non-flat synchronization model of situated multi-agents
This paper presents a novel non-flat synchronization model where the synchronization capacity of each agent is different regarding its social rank and strategy dominance. In the p...
