Bandit Learning in General Open Multi-agent Systems

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.06202v1 Announce Type: new Recent developments in digital platforms have highlighted the prevalence of open systems, where agents can arrive and depart over time. While bandit learning in open systems has recently received initial attention, existing work imposes structural assumptions that are frequently violated in practice. A learning paradigm for general open systems creates fresh challenges: newly arriving agents induce endogenous non-stationarity; agent patterns determine how quickly information accumulates; and new agents make regret scale further with the time horizon.
