This paper delves into the realm of Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), a burgeoning field that has garnered significant attention in recent years. The authors explore three primary approaches to MARL: centralized training and execution (CTE), centralized training for decentralized execution (CTDE), and Decentralized training and execution (DTE). They aim to shed light on the strengths, weaknesses, and potential applications of each methodology.

MARL is a way for machines to learn together, making decisions that benefit everyone. The paper talks about three ways to do this: one where everything is controlled from the top, another where some things are controlled from the top but others aren’t, and finally, one where nothing is controlled from the top. This research can help us understand which approach works best in different situations.
