What is it about?

This paper studies the distributed optimization for solving resource allocation problems with both local bound and equality constraints. A continuous-time multi-agent system with communication time-delay is proposed for resource allocation. First, to reduce communication costs, a new modified multi-agent system is proposed inspired by previous work. Next, based on the system, communication time-delay is considered to reduce communication costs and match the real situation. Then, by choosing proper parameters, sufficient conditions are derived for convergence to the optimal solution of the distributed optimization. Moreover, the delay-free case is also considered, which proves that the system is convergent based on directed communication graph

Perspectives

As an important part of distributed optimization, allocation problem [5, 19] has both bound and equality constraints and the communication time-delay is also inevitable. So it is necessary to study this problem with communication time-delay
