EXTRA: An Exact First-Order Algorithm for Decentralized Consensus Optimization

no code implementations24 Apr 2014 Wei Shi, Qing Ling, Gang Wu, Wotao Yin

In this paper, we develop a decentralized algorithm for the consensus optimization problem $$\min\limits_{x\in\mathbb{R}^p}~\bar{f}(x)=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i=1}^n f_i(x),$$ which is defined over a connected network of $n$ agents, where each function $f_i$ is held privately by agent $i$ and encodes the agent's data and objective.
