A Parallel Stochastic Approximation Method for Nonconvex Multi-Agent Optimization Problems
Yang Yang, Gesualdo Scutari, Daniel P. Palomar +1
Consider the problem of minimizing the expected value of a (possibly nonconvex) cost function parameterized by a random (vector) variable, when the expectation cannot be computed a…
Parallel and Distributed Methods for Nonconvex Optimization-Part I: Theory
Gesualdo Scutari, Francisco Facchinei, Lorenzo Lampariello +1
In this two-part paper, we propose a general algorithmic framework for the minimization of a nonconvex smooth function subject to nonconvex smooth constraints. The algorithm solves…
Distributed Decision Through Self-Synchronizing Sensor Networks in the Presence of Propagation Delays and Asymmetric Channels
Gesualdo Scutari, Sergio Barbarossa, Loreto Pescosolido
In this paper we propose and analyze a distributed algorithm for achieving globally optimal decisions, either estimation or detection, through a self-synchronization mechanism amon…
