We study nonconvex distributed optimization in multi-agent networks with time-varying (nonsymmetric) connectivity. We introduce the first algorithmic framework for the distributed minimization of the sum of a smooth (possibly nonconvex and…

The expanding scale of neural networks poses a major challenge for distributed machine learning, particularly under limited communication resources. While split learning (SL) alleviates client computational burden by distributing model…

This paper presents a Successive Convexification ($ \texttt{SCvx} $) algorithm to solve a class of non-convex optimal control problems with certain types of state constraints. Sources of non-convexity may include nonlinear dynamics and…

We propose a self-organization scheme for cost-effective and load-balanced routing in multi-hop networks. To avoid overloading nodes that provide favourable routing conditions, we assign each node with a cost function that penalizes high…

This work presents a machine learning approach to optimize the energy efficiency (EE) in a multi-cell wireless network. This optimization problem is non-convex and its global optimum is difficult to find. In the literature, either simple…

Capacity expansions as well as its reduction have been widely anticipated as important countermeasures for traffic congestion. Although capacity expansion had been traditionally well noticed as a congestion mitigation measure, but it was…

In this paper, we consider the problem of repairing a data-trained Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) Neural Network (NN) controller for a discrete-time, input-affine system. That is we assume that such a NN controller is available, and we seek…

Motivated by the need for decentralized learning, this paper aims at designing a distributed algorithm for solving nonconvex problems with general linear constraints over a multi-agent network. In the considered problem, each agent owns…

Sparse parametric models are of great interest in statistical learning and are often analyzed by means of regularized estimators. Pathwise methods allow to efficiently compute the full solution path for penalized estimators, for any…

This paper studies a distributed online convex optimization problem, where agents in an unbalanced network cooperatively minimize the sum of their time-varying local cost functions subject to a coupled inequality constraint. To solve this…

This paper presents a novel convex optimization-based method for finding the globally optimal solutions of a class of mixed-integer non-convex optimal control problems. We consider problems with non-convex constraints that restrict the…

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for ubiquitous streaming like applications in data networks. In this paper, we concentrate on NUM-based rate allocation for streaming applications with the so-called S-curve utility…

For a nonlinear system (e.g. a robot) with its continuous state space trajectories constrained by a linear temporal logic specification, the synthesis of a low-level controller for mission execution often results in a non-convex…

Optimization in distributed networks plays a central role in almost all distributed machine learning problems. In principle, the use of distributed task allocation has reduced the computational time, allowing better response rates and…

This paper studies two fundamental problems in power systems: the economic dispatch problem (EDP) and load shedding. For the EDP, an extension of the problem considering the transmission losses is presented. Because the optimization problem…

We propose a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) framework based on a direct optimal control method that ensures continuous-time constraint satisfaction and accurate evaluation of the running cost, without compromising computational…

This work addresses weight optimization problem for fully-connected feed-forward neural networks. Unlike existing approaches that are based on back-propagation (BP) and chain rule gradient-based optimization (which implies iterative…

As software may be used by multiple users, caching popular software at the wireless edge has been considered to save computation and communications resources for mobile edge computing (MEC). However, fetching uncached software from the core…

We consider distributed convex-concave saddle point problems over arbitrary connected undirected networks and propose a decentralized distributed algorithm for their solution. The local functions distributed across the nodes are assumed to…
