Distributed Augmented Lagrangian Method for Link-Based Resource Sharing Problems of Multi-Agent Systems

A multi-agent optimization problem motivated by the management of energy systems is discussed. The associated cost function is separable and convex although not necessarily strongly convex and there exist edge-based coupling equality constraints. In this regard, we propose a distributed algorithm based on solving the dual of the augmented...

A Distributed Augmented Lagrangian Method over Stochastic Networks for Economic Dispatch of Large-Scale Energy Systems

In this paper, we propose a distributed model predictive control (MPC) scheme for economic dispatch of energy systems with a large number of active components. The scheme uses a distributed optimization algorithm that works over random communication networks and asynchronous updates, implying the resiliency of the proposed scheme with respect...

Adaptive optimization for active queue management supporting TCP flows

An adaptive decentralized strategy for active queue management of TCP flows over communication networks is presented. The proposed strategy solves locally, at each link, an optimal control problem, minimizing a cost composed of residual capacity and buffer queue size. The solution of the optimal control problem exploits an adaptive...
