contents This paper proposes a new differentially private distributed Nash equilibrium seeking algorithm for aggregative games under time-varying unbalanced directed communication graphs. Random independent Laplace noises are injected into the transmitted information to protect players' sensitive information. Then, the push-sum consensus protocol is utilized to estimate the aggregate function with the perturbed information under the time-varying topologies. The weakening factor and the momentum term are designed to attenuate the negative affect of the noise and guarantee the convergence of the algorithm, respectively. The algorithm is then proven to ensure the almost sure convergence, as well as rigorous differential privacy with a finite cumulative privacy budget, without requiring a trade-off between provable convergence and differential privacy. Finally, the simulation is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
