Well-posedness and mean-field limit estimate of a consensus-based algorithm for multiplayer games (2505.13632v1)

Abstract: Recently, the paper [12] introduces a derivative-free consensus-based particle method that finds the Nash equilibrium of non-convex multiplayer games, where it proves the global exponential convergence in the sense of mean-field law. This paper aims to address theoretical gaps in [12], specifically by providing a quantitative estimate of the mean-field limit with respect to the number of particles, as well as establishing the well-posedness of both the finite particle model and the corresponding mean-field dynamics.
