There has been substantial work studying consensus problems for which there is a single common final state, although there are many real-world complex networks for which the complete consensus may be undesirable. More recently, the concept…
A cutting-plane model for a nonsmooth function is the maximum of several first-order expansions centered at different points. Using such a model in a bundle method leads to linear convergence (of serious steps) to a minimum. In smooth…

In this study we present a metric of consensus for Likert scales. The measure gives the level of agreement as the percentage of consensus among respondents. The proposed framework allows to design a positional indicator that gives the…
In this paper we give a description of the asymptotic behavior, as $\epsilon\to 0$, of the $\epsilon$-gradient flow in the finite dimensional case. Under very general assumptions we prove that it converges to an evolution obtained by…
Humans perform co-saliency detection by first summarizing the consensus knowledge in the whole group and then searching corresponding objects in each image. Previous methods usually lack robustness, scalability, or stability for the first…

Switching between finitely many continuous-time autonomous steepest descent dynamics for convex functions is considered. Convergence of complete solutions to common minimizers of the convex functions, if such minimizers exist, is shown. The…
Diffusive transport is a universal phenomenon, throughout both biological and physical sciences, and models of diffusion are routinely used to interrogate diffusion-driven processes. However, most models neglect to take into account the…
We study distributed network flows as solvers in continuous time for the linear algebraic equation $\mathbf{z}=\mathbf{H}\mathbf{y}$. Each node $i$ has access to a row $\mathbf{h}_i^{\rm T}$ of the matrix $\mathbf{H}$ and the corresponding…

We consider solving nonconvex composite optimization problems in which the sum of a smooth function and a nonsmooth function is minimized. Many of convergence analyses of proximal gradient-type methods rely on global descent property…
