Distributed Optimization and Learning: A Control-Theoretic Perspective illustrates the underlying principles of distributed optimization and learning. The book presents a systematic and self-contained description of distributed optimization and learning algorithms from a control-theoretic perspective. It focuses on exploring control-theoretic approaches and how those approaches can be utilized to solve distributed optimization and learning problems over network-connected, multi-agent systems. As there are strong links between optimization and learning, this book provides a unified platform for understanding distributed optimization and learning algorithms for different purposes.
- Provides a series of the latest results, including but not limited to, distributed cooperative and competitive optimization, machine learning, and optimal resource allocation
- Presents the most recent advances in theory and applications of distributed optimization and machine learning, including insightful connections to traditional control techniques
- Offers numerical and simulation results in each chapter in order to reflect engineering practice and demonstrate the main focus of developed analysis and synthesis approaches
