We study the mean-field limit of a generic class of dynamic co-evolving latent space networks motivated by the social and opinion dynamics literature. Such models include $n$ agents, whose opinions are given by latent stochastic processes,…

Learning in multi-agent environments is difficult due to the non-stationarity introduced by an opponent's or partner's changing behaviors. Instead of reactively adapting to the other agent's (opponent or partner) behavior, we propose an…
