This chapter concludes three perspectives on multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL): (1) cooperative MARL, which performs mutual interaction between cooperative agents; (2) equilibrium-based MARL, which focuses on equilibrium solutions among gaming agents; and (3) best-response MARL, which suggests a no-regret policy against other competitive agents. Then the authors present a general framework of MARL, which combines all the three perspectives in order to assist readers in understanding the intricate relationships between different perspectives. Furthermore, a negotiation-based MARL algorithm based on meta-equilibrium is presented, which can interact with cooperative agents, games with gaming agents, and provides the best response to other competitive agents.

In this review, we present an analysis of the most used multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithms. Starting with the single-agent reinforcement learning algorithms, we focus on the most critical issues that must be taken into account in their extension to multi-agent scenarios. The analyzed algorithms were grouped according to their features. We present a detailed taxonomy of the main multi-agent approaches proposed in the literature, focusing on their related mathematical models. For each algorithm, we describe the possible application fields, while pointing out its pros and cons. The described multi-agent algorithms are compared in terms of the most important characteristics for multi-agent reinforcement learning applications—namely, nonstationarity, scalability, and observability. We also describe the most common benchmark environments used to evaluate the performances of the considered methods.
