Cooperative convex optimization with subgradient delays using push-sum distributed dual averaging. (English) Zbl 1471.93024

Summary: In this paper, we address the distributed convex optimization problems for multi-agent systems. In our research, it is assumed that each agent in the multi-agent system could merely interact with its neighbors via a directed graph and is available to its own cost function. We then utilize the push-sum distributed dual averaging (PS-DDA) algorithm to tackle with the distributed optimization problem. However, we consider that there exist subgradient delays in PS-DDA algorithm. The proof of the main result which shows that the PS-DDA algorithm with subgradient delays converges and the error possesses sublinear growth of a rate \(\mathcal{O}(\tau^2T^{-0.5})\), where \(T\) denotes the total amount of iterations, is detailed presented in this paper. Finally, a numerical example is simulated to show the performance of the algorithm we study in this paper.
