Abstract

In the realm of present multi-agent research, the presumption is often that two competing groups possess equivalent strength. This article, however, ventures into unexplored territory by contemplating the strategy a significantly weaker group should adopt in its struggle for survival when faced with a more powerful adversary. Furthermore, it ponders how this underpowered group could potentially subvert the prevailing power dynamics and achieve either partial or total victory. This exploration challenges the conventional assumptions held in the domain of multi-agent systems, urging a reconsideration of strategies when power asymmetry is in play. The focus isn’t merely on survival tactics for the weaker entity, but also on understanding how such an entity can strategically leverage its weakness to turn the tables, shifting the balance of power in its favor. The underlying premise is that a significant disparity in power does not inevitably lead to the defeat of the weaker group. Instead, with strategic planning and execution, a weaker group could exploit the strengths and weaknesses of the stronger group, offering novel insights for multi-agent strategies. Through this investigation, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive framework for survival and success in unequal power dynamics within multi-agent systems. It aims to stimulate further research in this critical yet underexplored area, encouraging the development of more nuanced and realistic models that account for power disparities and the potential for their reversal.
