Network Aggregative Games and Distributed Mean Field Control via Consensus Theory

We consider network aggregative games to model and study multi-agent populations in which each rational agent is influenced by the aggregate behavior of its neighbors, as specified by an underlying network. Specifically, we examine systems where each agent minimizes a quadratic cost function, that depends on its own strategy and on a convex combination of the strategies of its neighbors, and is subject to personalized convex constraints. We analyze the best response dynamics and we propose alter...
