Randomized Constraints Consensus for Distributed Robust Mixed-Integer Programming

A network of processors aiming at cooperatively solving mixed-integer convex programs subject to uncertainty can stop the algorithm after a finite number of communication rounds so that candidate optimal solutions are consensual.

RandomizedConstraintsConsensus for DistributedRobustMixed-IntegerProgramming 1

It is shown that processors can stop the algorithm after a finite number of communication rounds (either because verification has been successful for a sufficient number of rounds or because a given threshold has been reached), so that candidate optimal solutions are consensual.

Primal Decomposition and Constraint Generation for Asynchronous Distributed Mixed-Integer Linear Programming

This paper reformulates the primal decomposition resource allocation problem as a linear program with an exponential number of unknown constraints and designs a distributed protocol that allows agents to compute an optimal allocation by generating and exchanging only few of the unknown constraints.

Distributed Random Convex Programming via Constraints Consensus

A setup in which instances of the random constraints are not held by a single centralized processing unit, but are instead distributed among different nodes of a network, to make all nodes converge to the same solution as the centralized RCP problem.

Distributed Constrained Optimization and Consensus in Uncertain Networks via Proximal Minimization

A scenario-based methodology is followed, allowing agents to use a different set of uncertainty scenarios in their local optimization programs, and an iterative algorithm is developed that allows for the convergence of the resulting scheme to some optimizer of the centralized problem.

Networked Parallel Algorithms for Robust Convex Optimization via the Scenario Approach

This chapter proposes a parallel computing framework to distributedly solve robust convex optimization (RCO) when the constraints are affected by nonlinear uncertainty by randomly sampling the uncertainty set and shows that if the sequence of digraphs are uniformly jointly strongly connected (UJSC), each node asymptotically converges to a common optimal solution to the SP.

Asynchronous Gossip-Based Random Projection Algorithms Over Networks

A completely decentralized and asynchronous gossip-based random projection (GRP) algorithm that solves the distributed problem using only local communications and computations is proposed and the convergence properties of the algorithm for a diminishing and a constant stepsize which are uncoordinated among agents are analyzed.

Uncertain convex programs: randomized solutions and confidence levels

This paper considers an alternative ‘randomized’ or ‘scenario’ approach for dealing with uncertainty in optimization, based on constraint sampling, and studies the constrained optimization problem resulting by taking into account only a finite set of N constraints, chosen at random among the possible constraint instances of the uncertain problem.

Graphs and networks for the analysis of autonomous agent systems

This thesis analyzes two issues related to autonomous agent systems, and more precisely, to the influence of the inter-agent communication network on the system behaviour and studies two paradigmatic systems in which this dependence can be taken into account.
