| contents | Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has witnessed a remarkable surge in interest, fueled by the empirical success achieved in applications of single-agent reinforcement learning (RL). In this study, we consider a distributed Q-learning scenario, wherein a number of agents cooperatively solve a sequential decision making problem without access to the central reward function which is an average of the local rewards. In particular, we study finite-time analysis of a distributed Q-learning algorithm, and provide a new sample complexity result of $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}\left( \min\left\{\frac{1}{ε^2}\frac{t_{\text{mix}}}{(1-γ)^6 d_{\min}^4 } ,\frac{1}ε\frac{\sqrt{|\gS||\gA|}}{(1-σ_2(\boldsymbol{W}))(1-γ)^4 d_{\min}^3} \right\}\right)$ under tabular lookup |
