contents This paper considers the distributed online convex-concave optimization with constraint sets over a multiagent network, in which each agent autonomously generates a series of decision pairs through a designable mechanism to cooperatively minimize the global loss function. To this end, under no-Euclidean distance metrics, we propose a distributed online stochastic mirror descent convex-concave optimization algorithm with time-varying predictive mappings. Taking dynamic saddle point regret as a performance metric, it is proved that the proposed algorithm achieves the regret upper-bound in $\mathcal{O}(\max \{T^{θ_1}, T^{θ_2} (1+V_T ) \})$ for the general convex-concave loss function, where $θ_1, θ_2 \in(0,1)$ are the tuning parameters, $T$ is the total iteration time, and $V_T$ is the path-variation. Surely, this algorithm guarantees the sublinear convergence, provided that $V_T$ is sublinear. Moreover, aiming to achieve better convergence, we further investigate a variant of this algorithm by employing the multiple consensus technique. The obtained results show that the appropriate setting can effectively tighten the regret bound to a certain extent. Finally, the efficacy of the proposed algorithms is validated and compared through the simulation example of a target tracking problem.
