Abstract
- No-regret learning has been widely used to compute a Nash equilibrium in two-person zero-sum games. However, there is still a lack of regret analysis for network stochastic zero-sum games, where players competing in two subnetworks only have access to some local information, and the cost functions include uncertainty. Such a game model can be found in security games, when a group of inspectors work together to detect a group of evaders. In this paper, we propose a distributed stochastic mirror descent (D-SMD) method, and establish the regret bounds $O(\sqrt{T})$ and $O(\log T)$ in the expected sense for convex-concave and strongly convex-strongly concave costs, respectively. Our bounds match those of the best known first-order online optimization algorithms. We then prove the convergence of the time-averaged iterates of D-SMD to the set of Nash equilibria. Finally, we show that the actual iterates of D-SMD almost surely converge to the Nash equilibrium in the strictly convex-strictly concave setting.
