On the convergence of no-regret learning dynamics in time-varying games

I Anagnostides, I Panageas… - Advances in Neural …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Most of the literature on learning in games has focused on the restrictive setting where the
underlying repeated game does not change over time. Much less is known about the …

Convergence of proximal point and extragradient-based methods beyond monotonicity: the case of negative comonotonicity

E Gorbunov, A Taylor, S Horváth… - … on Machine Learning, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
