Abstract

In this paper, we carry out finite-sample analysis of decentralized Q-learning algorithms in the tabular setting for a significant subclass of general-sum stochastic games (SGs) - weakly acyclic SGs, which includes potential games and Markov team problems as special cases. In the practical while challenging decentralized setting, neither the rewards nor the actions of other agents can be observed by each agent. In fact, each agent can be completely oblivious to the presence of other decision makers. In this work, the sample complexity of the decentralized tabular Q-learning algorithm in [1] to converge to a Markov perfect equilibrium is developed.
