Mutual Information and Multi-Agent Systems

We consider the use of Shannon information theory, and its various entropic terms to aid in reaching optimal decisions that should be made in a multi-agent/Team scenario. The methods that we use are to model how various agents interact, including power allocation. Our metric for agents passing infor...

description We consider the use of Shannon information theory, and its various entropic terms to aid in reaching optimal decisions that should be made in a multi-agent/Team scenario. The methods that we use are to model how various agents interact, including power allocation. Our metric for agents passing information are classical Shannon channel capacity. Our results are the mathematical theorems showing how combining agents influences the channel capacity.
