Fictitious play (FP) is a natural learning dynamic in two-player zero-sum games. Samuel Karlin conjectured in 1959 that FP converges at a rate of $O(t^{-1/2})$ to Nash equilibrium, where $t$ is the number of steps played. However,…

In the context of multi-player, general-sum games, there is an increasing interest in solution concepts modeling some form of communication among players, since they can lead to socially better outcomes with respect to Nash equilibria, and…

A natural goal in multiagent learning besides finding equilibria is to learn rationalizable behavior, where players learn to avoid iteratively dominated actions. However, even in the basic setting of multiplayer general-sum games, existing…
