In this work, we propose a robust approach to design distributed controllers for unknown-but-sparse linear and time-invariant systems. By leveraging modern techniques in distributed controller synthesis and structured linear inverse problems as applied to system identification, we show that near-optimal distributed controllers can be learned with sub-linear sample complexity and computed with near-linear time complexity, both measured with respect to the dimension of the system. In particular, we provide sharp end-to-end guarantees on the stability and the performance of the designed distributed controller and prove that for sparse systems, the number of samples needed to guarantee robust and near optimal performance of the designed controller can be significantly smaller than the dimension of the system. Finally, we show that the proposed optimization problem can be solved to global optimality with near-linear time complexity by iteratively solving a series of small quadratic programs.

This paper targets solving distributed machine learning problems such as federated learning in a communication-efficient fashion. A class of new stochastic gradient descent (SGD) approaches have been developed, which can be viewed as the stochastic g
eneralization to the recently developed lazily aggregated gradient (LAG) method --- justifying the name LASG. LAG adaptively predicts the contribution of each round of communication and chooses only the significant ones to perform. It saves communication while also maintains the rate of convergence. However, LAG only works with deterministic gradients, and applying it to stochastic gradients yields poor performance. The key components of LASG are a set of new rules tailored for stochastic gradients that can be implemented either to save download, upload, or both. The new algorithms adaptively choose between fresh and stale stochastic gradients and have convergence rates comparable to the original SGD. LASG achieves impressive empirical performance --- it typically saves total communication by an order of magnitude.
We study the problem of adaptive control of a high dimensional linear quadratic (LQ) system. Previous work established the asymptotic convergence to an optimal controller for various adaptive control schemes. More recently, for the average cost LQ pr
oblem, a regret bound of ${O}(sqrt{T})$ was shown, apart form logarithmic factors. However, this bound scales exponentially with $p$, the dimension of the state space. In this work we consider the case where the matrices describing the dynamic of the LQ system are sparse and their dimensions are large. We present an adaptive control scheme that achieves a regret bound of ${O}(p sqrt{T})$, apart from logarithmic factors. In particular, our algorithm has an average cost of $(1+eps)$ times the optimum cost after $T = polylog(p) O(1/eps^2)$. This is in comparison to previous work on the dense dynamics where the algorithm requires time that scales exponentially with dimension in order to achieve regret of $eps$ times the optimal cost. We believe that our result has prominent applications in the emerging area of computational advertising, in particular targeted online advertising and advertising in social networks.
This paper is concerned with the distributed linear quadratic optimal control problem. In particular, we consider a suboptimal version of the distributed optimal control problem for undirected multi-agent networks. Given a multi-agent system with ide
ntical agent dynamics and an associated global quadratic cost functional, our objective is to design suboptimal distributed control laws that guarantee the controlled network to reach consensus and the associated cost to be smaller than an a priori given upper bound. We first analyze the suboptimality for a given linear system and then apply the results to linear multiagent systems. Two design methods are then provided to compute such suboptimal distributed controllers, involving the solution of a single Riccati inequality of dimension equal to the dimension of the agent dynamics, and the smallest nonzero and the largest eigenvalue of the graph Laplacian. Furthermore, we relax the requirement of exact knowledge of the smallest nonzero and largest eigenvalue of the graph Laplacian by using only lower and upper bounds on these eigenvalues. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate our design method.
In this paper we consider the distributed linear quadratic control problem for networks of agents with single integrator dynamics. We first establish a general formulation of the distributed LQ problem and show that the optimal control gain depends o
n global information on the network. Thus, the optimal protocol can only be computed in a centralized fashion. In order to overcome this drawback, we propose the design of protocols that are computed in a decentralized way. We will write the global cost functional as a sum of local cost functionals, each associated with one of the agents. In order to achieve good performance of the controlled network, each agent then computes its own local gain, using sampled information of its neighboring agents. This decentralized computation will only lead to suboptimal global network behavior. However, we will show that the resulting network will reach consensus. A simulation example is provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed protocol.
This paper considers the cooperative output regulation problem for linear multi-agent systems with a directed communication graph, heterogeneous linear subsystems, and an exosystem whose output is available to only a subset of subsystems. Both the ca
ses with nominal and uncertain linear subsystems are studied. For the case with nominal linear subsystems, a distributed adaptive observer-based controller is designed, where the distributed adaptive observer is implemented for the subsystems to estimate the exogenous signal. For the case with uncertain linear subsystems, the proposed distributed observer and the internal model principle are combined to solve the robust cooperative output regulation problem. Compared with the existing works, one main contribution of this paper is that the proposed control schemes can be designed and implemented by each subsystem in a fully distributed fashion for general directed graphs. For the special case with undirected graphs, a distributed output feedback control law is further presented.
