Abstract
Mean field control (MFC) is an effective way to mitigate the curse of dimensionality of cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) problems. In this work, we will show that MFC is indeed a good approximation to MARL in variety of setups, including heterogenous agents, non-uniform interaction, and in the presence of constraints. Further, the approach of MFC allows for decentralized execution, which will also be discussed. Vaneet Agarwal, Purdue University
