In this paper we consider distributed optimization problems in which the cost function is separable, i.e., a sum of possibly non-smooth functions all sharing a common variable, and can be split into a strongly convex term and a convex one.…

We propose a distributed version of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) with linear updates for directed networks. We show that if the objective function of the minimization problem is smooth and strongly convex, our…

This paper considers the distributed nonconvex optimization problem of minimizing a global cost function formed by a sum of local cost functions by using local information exchange. We first consider a distributed first-order primal-dual…

This paper proposes and analyzes a communication-efficient distributed optimization framework for general nonconvex nonsmooth signal processing and machine learning problems under an asynchronous protocol. At each iteration, worker machines…

Existing asynchronous distributed optimization algorithms often use diminishing step-sizes that cause slow practical convergence, or use fixed step-sizes that depend on and decrease with an upper bound of the delays. Not only are such delay…

We propose a novel algorithm for solving convex, constrained and distributed optimization problems defined on multi-agent-networks, where each agent has exclusive access to a part of the global objective function. The agents are able to…

Asynchronous distributed algorithms are a popular way to reduce synchronization costs in large-scale optimization, and in particular for neural network training. However, for nonsmooth and nonconvex objectives, few convergence guarantees…

We consider distributed optimization where $N$ nodes in a connected network minimize the sum of their local costs subject to a common constraint set. We propose a distributed projected gradient method where each node, at each iteration $k$,…

We consider the problem of minimizing the sum of cost functions pertaining to agents over a network whose topology is captured by a directed graph (i.e., asymmetric communication). We cast the problem into the ADMM setting, via a consensus…

We formulate an optimization problem for maximizing the data rate of a common message transmitted from nodes within an airborne network broadcast to a central station receiver while maintaining a set of intra-network rate demands. Assuming…

Distributed supply-chain optimization demands algorithms that can cope with unreliable communication, unbounded messaging delays, and geographically dispersed agents while still guaranteeing convergence with provable rates. In this work, we…

We study distributed non-convex optimization on a time-varying multi-agent network. Each node has access to its own smooth local cost function, and the collective goal is to minimize the sum of these functions. We generalize the results…
