Abstract

We consider the distributed optimization problem for a multi-agent system. Here, multiple agents cooperatively optimize an objective by sharing information through a communication network and performing computations. In this tutorial, we provide an overview of the problem, describe the structure of its algorithms, and use simulations to illustrate some algorithmic properties based on this structure.
