We consider the nonstochastic multi-agent multi-armed bandit problem with agents collaborating via a communication network with delays. We show a lower bound for individual regret of all agents. We show that with suitable regularizers and communication protocols, a collaborative multi-agent follow-the-regularized-leader (FTRL) algorithm has an individual regret upper bound that matches the lower bound up to a constant factor when the number of arms is large enough relative to degrees of agents in the communication graph. We also show that an FTRL algorithm with a suitable regularizer is regret optimal with respect to the scaling with the edge-delay parameter. We present numerical experiments validating our theoretical results and demonstrate cases when our algorithms outperform previously proposed algorithms.
