Abstract

In this paper, the distributed optimization problem for multi-agent system with time-varying communication delay \(\tau (t)\) is studied based on game theory. Firstly, the distributed optimization problem \(\min _{x} \phi (x)\) is modeled as a state based ordinal potential game model G. Then, the existence and validity of the Nash equilibrium in the game model are verified. In addition, a revenue-based strategy learning algorithm is designed under topology network with \(\tau (t)\) to find the Nash equilibrium. Finally, a numerical simulation illustrates the results.
