Achieving pareto optimality through distributed learning

We propose a simple payoff-based learning rule that is completely decentralized, and that leads to an efficient configuaration of actions in any n-person finite strategic-form game with generic payoffs. The algorithm follows the theme of exploration versus exploitation and is hence stochastic in na...
