    Distributed Asymptotic Minimization of Sequences of Convex Functions by a Broadcast Adaptive Subgradient Method

    No full text
    We propose a non-hierarchical decentralized algorithm for the asymptotic minimization of possibly time-varying convex functions. In our method, each agent in a network has a private, local (possibly time-varying) cost function, and the objective is to minimize asymptotically the sum of these local functions in every agent (this problem appears in many different applications such as, among others, motion planning, acoustic source localization, and environmental modeling). The algorithm consists of two main steps. First, to improve the estimate of a minimizer, agents apply a particular version of the adaptive projected subgradient method to their local functions. Then the agents exchange and mix their estimates using a communication model based on recent results of consensus algorithms. We show formally the convergence of the resulting scheme, which reproduces as particular cases many existing methods such as gossip consensus algorithms and recent decentralized adaptive subgradient methods (which themselves include as particular cases many distributed adaptive filtering algorithms). To illustrate two possible applications, we consider the problems of acoustic source localization and environmental modeling via network gossiping with mobile agents

    Adaptation and learning over complex networks

    No full text
    The topic of this special issue of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine is timely and deals with a subject matter that has been receiving immense attention from various research communities, and not only within the signal processing community. Extensive research efforts on information processing over graphs exist within other fields such as statistics, computer science, optimization, control, economics, machine learning, biological sciences, and social sciences. Different fields tend to emphasize different aspects and challenges; nevertheless, opportunities for mutual cooperation are abundantly clear, and the role that signal processing plays in this domain is of fundamental importance. This is because, in all these fields, there is growing interest in performing inference and learning over graphs, such as deducing relationships from interconnections over social networks, modeling interactions among agents in biological networks, performing resource allocation distributively, passing information over networks, optimizing utility functions over graphs, adapting and learning over graphs, etc. Commonalities and significant signal processing run across all these applications. The articles in this special issue help highlight this interplay among disciplines and the significant role that signal processing plays in this domain
