Distributed Asynchronous Relaxation Methods for Convex Network Flow Problems

چکیده
We consider the solution of the single commodity strictly convex network flow problem in a distributed asynchronous computation environment. The dual of this problem is unconstrained, differentiable, and well suited for solution via Gauss-Seidel relaxation. We show that the structure of the dual allows the successful application of a distributed asynchronous method whereby relaxation iterations are carried out in parallel by several processors in arbitrary order and with arbitrarily large interprocessor communication delays.

Convergence rate analysis of an asynchronous space decomposition method for convex Minimization
We analyze the convergence rate of an asynchronous space decomposition method for constrained convex minimization in a reflexive Banach space. This method includes as special cases parallel domain decomposition methods and multigrid methods for solving elliptic partial differential equations. In particular, the method generalizes the additive Schwarz domain decomposition methods to allow for as...
متن کاملDALD:-Distributed-Asynchronous-Local-Decontamination Algorithm in Arbitrary Graphs
Network environments always can be invaded by intruder agents. In networks where nodes are performing some computations, intruder agents might contaminate some nodes. Therefore, problem of decontaminating a network infected by intruder agents is one of the major problems in these networks. In this paper, we present a distributed asynchronous local algorithm for decontaminating a network. In mos...
متن کاملAsynchronous ADMM for Distributed Non-Convex Optimization in Power Systems
Large scale, non-convex optimization problems arising in many complex networks such as the power system call for efficient and scalable distributed optimization algorithms. Existing distributed methods are usually iterative and require synchronization of all workers at each iteration, which is hard to scale and could result in the under-utilization of computation resources due to the heterogene...
متن کاملAsynchronous Iterative Algorithms with Flexible Communication for Nonlinear Network Flow Problems
[SME95]. We consider the case where the nonlinear flow equations are diagonally monotone nondecreasing and offdiagonally monotone nonincreasing. This case is more general than M-functions. We also concentrate on a different class of mappings. We study submappings and supermappings, whereas we have considered a-submappings and asupermappings in [MES94] and [SME95]. Finally, we propose point iter...
متن کاملRelaxation Methods for Minimum Cost Network Flow
We view the optimal single commodity network flow problem with linear arc costs and its dual as a pair of monotropic programming problems, i.e. problems of minimizing the separable sum of scalar extended real-valued convex functions over a subspace. For such problems directions of cost improvement can be selected from among a finite set of directions--the elementary vectors of the constraint su...
