Distributed optimization of multi-agent systems with delayed sampled-data

In this paper, we study the distributed optimization problem of multi-agent systems with delayed sampled-data, where the interconnected topology is directed, weighted-balanced and strongly connected, and also local cost functions are strongly convex with globally Lipschitz gradients. Based on synchronous and asynchronous sampled-data, we construct two respective algorithms. Our main results, sufficient conditions for the convergence to an optimal solution, are obtained under assumption that all design parameters are chosen properly. We also present one example to validate our theoretical results. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
