Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Multi-agent Mirror Descent (MMD) with perfect gradient Algorithm 2 Solving for a targeted PNE of G(1) IN Algorithm 3 PNE checker for G(1) IN Algorithm 4 Solving for an arbitrary PNE of G(1) IN
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any statement about releasing open-source code for the described methodology or a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets No The paper states that parameters for the simulations are 'randomly sampled from uniform distribution U[1, 10]' and does not refer to any publicly available or open dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper uses simulations with randomly sampled parameters and does not describe training, validation, or test dataset splits in the conventional sense for machine learning models.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not specify any hardware used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions algorithms (e.g., Multi-agent Mirror Descent) and theoretical frameworks, but it does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes For G(1) EX and G(1) IN, the default parameters are set to n = 10, α = 1.0, β = 0.5, γ = 0.9, ρ = 1.5, µ = 100, and {ci}n i=1 are randomly sampled from uniform distribution U[1, 10]. For GEX, the default K = 10 and αk, βk, γk, ρk are set to the same values as α, β, γ, ρ. In the subsequent experiments, when we investigate the sensitivity of the PNE on a certain parameter, we use the specified values to replace the default ones. The default T = 1000, η = 0.05, ϵ = 1e 4, x(0) i = (0.1, , 0.1).
