In this work, we consider the asynchronous distributed optimization problem in which each node has its own convex cost function and can communicate directly only with its neighbors, as determined by a directed communication topology (directed graph or digraph). First, we reformulate the optimization problem so that Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) can be utilized. Then, we propose an algorithm, herein called Asynchronous Approximate Distributed Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (AsyAD-ADMM), using finite-time asynchronous approximate ratio consensus, to solve the multi-node convex optimization problem, in which every node performs iterative computations and exchanges information with its neighbors asynchronously. More specifically, at every iteration of AsyAD-ADMM, each node solves a local convex optimization problem for one of the primal variables and utilizes a finite-time asynchronous approximate consensus protocol to obtain the value of the other variable which is close to the optimal value, since the cost function for the second primal variable is not decomposable. If the individual cost functions are convex but not necessarily differentiable, the proposed algorithm converges at a rate of $mathcal{O}(1/k)$, where $k$ is the iteration counter. The efficacy of AsyAD-ADMM is exemplified via a proof-of-concept distributed least-square optimization problem with different performance-influencing factors investigated.

We consider a network of agents that are cooperatively solving a global optimization problem, where the objective function is the sum of privately known local objective functions of the agents and the decision variables are coupled via linear constra
Quantization of the parameters of machine learning models, such as deep neural networks, requires solving constrained optimization problems, where the constraint set is formed by the Cartesian product of many simple discrete sets. For such optimizati
The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is one of the most widely used first-order optimisation methods in the literature owing to its simplicity, flexibility and efficiency. Over the years, numerous efforts are made to improve the per
Ptychography has risen as a reference X-ray imaging technique: it achieves resolutions of one billionth of a meter, macroscopic field of view, or the capability to retrieve chemical or magnetic contrast, among other features. A ptychographyic reconst
