Meet Me at the Arm: The Cooperative Multi-Armed Bandits Problem with Shareable Arms

ArXi:2506.10127v2 Announce Type: replace We study the decentralized multi-player multi-armed bandits (MMAB) problem under a no-sensing setting, where each player receives only their own reward and obtains no information about collisions. Each arm has an unknown capacity, and if the number of players pulling an arm exceeds its capacity, all players involved receive zero reward. This setting generalizes the classical unit-capacity model and
