This paper presents a novel accelerated distributed algorithm for unconstrained consensus optimization over static undirected networks. The proposed algorithm combines the benefits of acceleration from momentum, the robustness of the…

Decentralized optimization is typically studied under the assumption of noise-free transmission. However, real-world scenarios often involve the presence of noise due to factors such as additive white Gaussian noise channels or…

This paper considers a distributed stochastic strongly convex optimization, where agents connected over a network aim to cooperatively minimize the average of all agents' local cost functions. Due to the stochasticity of gradient estimation…

We consider distributed optimization where the objective function is spread among different devices, each sending incremental model updates to a central server. To alleviate the communication bottleneck, recent work proposed various schemes…

We consider a standard distributed optimization problem in which networked nodes collaboratively minimize the sum of their locally known convex costs. For this setting, we address for the first time the fundamental problem of design and…

This paper studies the communication complexity of convex risk-averse optimization over a network. The problem generalizes the well-studied risk-neutral finite-sum distributed optimization problem and its importance stems from the need to…

This paper proposes a new framework for distributed optimization, called distributed aggregative optimization, which allows local objective functions to be dependent not only on their own decision variables, but also on the average of…

There is growing interest in large-scale machine learning and optimization over decentralized networks, e.g. in the context of multi-agent learning and federated learning. Due to the imminent need to alleviate the communication burden, the…

We develop and analyze DASHA: a new family of methods for nonconvex distributed optimization problems. When the local functions at the nodes have a finite-sum or an expectation form, our new methods, DASHA-PAGE and DASHA-SYNC-MVR, improve…

In this paper, we study the distributed nonconvex optimization problem, which aims to minimize the average value of the local nonconvex cost functions using local information exchange. To reduce the communication overhead, we introduce…

This paper addresses a distributed nonconvex optimization problem over multi-agent networks, where each agent exchanges its local information solely with its neighbors. Given that most existing distributed nonconvex optimization algorithms…

In this paper, we address the distributed optimization problem over unidirectional networks with possibly time-invariant heterogeneous bounded transmission delays. In particular, we propose a modified version of the Accelerated Distributed…

The push-sum algorithm is probably the most important distributed averaging approach over directed graphs, which has been applied to various problems including distributed optimization. This paper establishes the explicit absolute…

We study distributed convex constrained optimization on a time-varying multi-agent network. Each agent has access to its own local cost function, its local constraints, and its instant number of out-neighbors. The collective goal is to…

Various distributed optimization methods have been developed for solving problems which have simple local constraint sets and whose objective function is the sum of local cost functions of distributed agents in a network. Motivated by…

In the modern paradigm of multi-agent networks, communication has become one of the main bottlenecks for decentralized optimization, where a large number of agents are involved in minimizing the average of the local cost functions. In this…

We investigate a distributed optimization problem over a cooperative multi-agent time-varying network, where each agent has its own decision variables that should be set so as to minimize its individual objective subject to local…

In this paper, we study distributed stochastic optimization to minimize a sum of smooth and strongly-convex local cost functions over a network of agents, communicating over a strongly-connected graph. Assuming that each agent has access to…

Distributed algorithms can be efficiently used for solving economic dispatch problem (EDP) in power systems. To implement a distributed algorithm, a communication network is required, making the algorithm vulnerable to noise which may cause…
