In this paper, we investigate the distributed convex optimization problem over a multi-agent system with Markovian switching communication networks. The objective function is the sum of each agent's local objective function, which cannot be…
We consider the online convex optimization (OCO) problem with quadratic and linear switching cost in the limited information setting, where an online algorithm can choose its action using only gradient information about the previous…
We examine fundamental tradeoffs in iterative distributed zeroth and first order stochastic optimization in multi-agent networks in terms of \emph{communication cost} (number of per-node transmissions) and \emph{computational cost},…
We consider the distributed optimization problem for the sum of convex functions where the underlying communications network connecting agents at each time is drawn at random from a collection of directed graphs. Building on an earlier work…
We introduce a new framework for the convergence analysis of a class of distributed constrained non-convex optimization algorithms in multi-agent systems. The aim is to search for local minimizers of a non-convex objective function which is…
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…
In this paper, we consider the problem of distributed online convex optimization, where a network of local agents aim to jointly optimize a convex function over a period of multiple time steps. The agents do not have any information about…
Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing, multi-robot coordination and information gathering scenarios…
Trajectory optimization problems for legged robots are commonly formulated with fixed contact schedules. These multi-phase Hybrid Trajectory Optimization (HTO) methods result in locally optimal trajectories, but the result depends heavily…
We provide a distributed online algorithm for multi-agent submodular maximization under communication delays. We are motivated by the future distributed information-gathering tasks in unknown and dynamic environments, where utility…
We consider decentralized stochastic optimization with the objective function (e.g. data samples for machine learning task) being distributed over $n$ machines that can only communicate to their neighbors on a fixed communication graph. To…
In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing the sum of nonconvex and possibly nonsmooth functions over a connected multi-agent network, where the agents have partial knowledge about the global cost function and can only access the…
In this paper, we focus on solving a distributed convex optimization problem in a network, where each agent has its own convex cost function and the goal is to minimize the sum of the agents' cost functions while obeying the network…
Decentralized optimization, particularly the class of decentralized composite convex optimization (DCCO) problems, has found many applications. Due to ubiquitous communication congestion and random dropouts in practice, it is highly…
In this paper, we formulate and solve a randomized optimal consensus problem for multi-agent systems with stochastically time-varying interconnection topology. The considered multi-agent system with a simple randomized iterating rule…
In this paper, a class of large-scale distributed nonsmooth convex optimization problem over time-varying multi-agent network is investigated. Specifically, the decision space which can be split into several blocks of convex set is…
We study distributed multiagent optimization over (directed, time-varying) graphs. We consider the minimization of $F+G$ subject to convex constraints, where $F$ is the smooth strongly convex sum of the agent's losses and $G$ is a nonsmooth…
In this thesis, I study the minimax oracle complexity of distributed stochastic optimization. First, I present the "graph oracle model", an extension of the classic oracle complexity framework that can be applied to study distributed…
This paper studies decentralized convex-concave minimax optimization problems of the form $\min_x\max_y f(x,y) \triangleq\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^m f_i(x,y)$, where $m$ is the number of agents and each local function can be written as…
In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm for stochastic smooth, non-convex optimization. We assume a worker-server architecture where $N$ nodes, each having $n$ (potentially infinite) number of samples, collaborate with the help of…
