In this work, we consider the 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 Distributed Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers using Finite-Time Exact Ratio Consensus (D-ADMM-FTERC), to solve the multi-node convex optimization problem, in which every node performs iterative computations and exchanges information with its neighbors. At every iteration of D-ADMM-FTERC, each node solves a local convex optimization problem for the one of the primal variables and utilizes a finite-time exact consensus protocol to obtain the optimal value of the other variable, since the cost function for the second primal variable is not decomposable. Since D-ADMM-FTERC requires to know the upper bound on the number of nodes in the network, we furthermore propose a new algorithm, called Fully D-ADMM Finite-Time Distributed Termination (FD-ADMM-FTDT) algorithm, which does not need any global information. If the individual cost functions are convex and not-necessarily differentiable, the proposed algorithms converge at a rate of O(1/k), where k is the iteration counter. Additionally, if the global objective function is strongly convex and smooth, the proposed algorithms have an approximate R-linear convergence rate. The efficacy of FD-ADMM-FTDT is demonstrated via a distributed L1 regularized logistic regression optimization example. Additionally, comparisons with other state-of-the-art algorithms are provided on large-scale networks showing the superior precision and time-efficient performance of FD-ADMM-FTDT.

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 o
r 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.
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
on problems, we study the performance of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers for Quantization ($texttt{ADMM-Q}$) algorithm, which is a variant of the widely-used ADMM method applied to our discrete optimization problem. We establish the convergence of the iterates of $texttt{ADMM-Q}$ to certain $textit{stationary points}$. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analysis of an ADMM-type method for problems with discrete variables/constraints. Based on our theoretical insights, we develop a few variants of $texttt{ADMM-Q}$ that can handle inexact update rules, and have improved performance via the use of soft projection and injecting randomness to the algorithm. We empirically evaluate the efficacy of our proposed approaches.
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
ruction is normally formulated as a blind phase retrieval problem, where both the image (sample) and the probe (illumination) have to be recovered from phaseless measured data. In this article we address a nonlinear least squares model for the blind ptychography problem with constraints on the image and the probe by maximum likelihood estimation of the Poisson noise model. We formulate a variant model that incorporates the information of phaseless measurements of the probe to eliminate possible artifacts. Next, we propose a generalized alternating direction method of multipliers designed for the proposed nonconvex models with convergence guarantee under mild conditions, where their subproblems can be solved by fast element-wise operations. Numerically, the proposed algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms in both speed and image quality.
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
ints. Recent literature focused on special cases of this formulation and studied their distributed solution through either subgradient based methods with O(1/sqrt(k)) rate of convergence (where k is the iteration number) or Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) based methods, which require a synchronous implementation and a globally known order on the agents. In this paper, we present a novel asynchronous ADMM based distributed method for the general formulation and show that it converges at the rate O(1/k).
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
formance of the method, such as the inertial technique. By studying the geometric properties of ADMM, we discuss the limitations of current inertial accelerated ADMM and then present and analyze an adaptive acceleration scheme for the method. Numerical experiments on problems arising from image processing, statistics and machine learning demonstrate the advantages of the proposed acceleration approach.
