| contents | This paper aims at distributed multi-agent convex optimization where the
communications network among the agents are presented by a random
sequence of possibly state-dependent weighted graphs. This is the first work to consider both random arbitrary communication networks and state-dependent interactions among agents. The state-dependent weighted random operator of the graph is shown to be quasi-nonexpansive;
this property neglects a priori distribution assumption
of random communication topologies to be imposed on the operator. Therefore, it contains more general class of
random networks with or without asynchronous protocols. A more general mathematical optimization
problem than that addressed in the literature is presented, namely minimization of a convex function over the fixed-value point set of a quasi-nonexpansive random operator.
A discrete-time algorithm is provided that is able to converge both almost surely and in mean square to the global solution of the optimization problem. Hence, as a special case,
it reduces to a totally asynchronous algorithm for the
distributed optimization problem. The algorithm is able to converge even if the weighted matrix of the graph is periodic and irreducible under synchronous protocol. Finally, a case study on a network of robots in an automated warehouse is
given where there is distribution dependency among random communication graphs. |
