Continuous-time integral dynamics for Aggregative Game equilibrium seeking

In this paper, we consider continuous-time semi-decentralized dynamics for the equilibrium computation in a class of aggregative games. Specifically, we propose a scheme where decentralized projected-gradient dynamics are driven by an integral control law. To prove global exponential convergence of the proposed dynamics to an aggregative equilibrium, we adopt a quadratic Lyapunov function argument. We derive a sufficient condition for global convergence that we position within the recent literature on aggregative games, and in particular we show that it improves on established results

Distributed averaging integral Nash equilibrium seeking on networks

Continuous-time gradient-based Nash equilibrium seeking algorithms enjoy a passivity property under a suitable monotonicity assumption. This feature has been exploited to design distributed algorithms that converge to Nash equilibria and use local information only. We further exploit the passivity property to interconnect the algorithms with distributed averaging integral controllers that tune on-line the weights of the communication graph. The main advantage is to guarantee convergence to a Nash equilibrium without requiring a strong coupling condition on the algebraic connectivity of the communication graph over which the players exchange information, nor a global high-gain
