Quantized Distributed Optimization Schemes: A monotone operator approach

Recently, the effects of quantization on the Primal-Dual Method of Multipliers were studied.<br/>In this thesis, we have used this method as an example to further investigate the effects of quantization on distributed optimization schemes in a much broader sense. Using monotone operator theory, the effect of quantization on all distributed...

Quantization effects in PDMM: A first study for synchronous distributed averaging

Nowadays, large-scale networks of computing units, often characterized by the absence of central control, have become more commonplace in many applications. To facilitate data processing in these large-scale networks distributed signal processing is required. The iterative behaviour of distributed processing algorithms combined with the limited...
