Abstract
In this paper we deal with decision-coupled problems involving multiple agents over a network. Each agent has its own local objective function and local constraints, and all agents aim at finding the value of a common decision vector that minimizes the sum of all agents’ cost functions and satisfies all local constraints. To this purpose, we introduce a Proximal-Tracking distributed optimization algorithm that integrates dynamic average consensus within the proximal minimization method. Convergence to an optimal consensus solution is guaranteed for any value of a constant penalty parameter, under a convexity assumption only, without requiring differentiability, Lipschitz continuity, or smoothness of the local objective functions. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
