Abstract

Non-cooperative games and distributed optimization problems are hot research topics in recent years. Non-cooperative games capture the competitive behavior among self-interested players while distributed optimization relies on the cooperation among the agents. However, situations involving both cooperative and competitive behaviors are beyond their scopes. To deal with this issue, a unified framework for distributed optimization and noncooperative games is developed. In addition, methods that can solve the formulated model will be provided.
