This paper proposes networked dynamics to solve resource allocation problems over time-varying multi-agent networks. The state of each agent represents the amount of used resources (or produced utilities) while the total amount of resources is fixed. The idea is to optimally allocate the resources among the group of agents by minimizing the overall cost function subject to fixed sum of resources. Each agents information is restricted to its own state and cost function and those of its immediate in-neighbors. This is motivated by distributed applications such as mobile edge-computing, economic dispatch over smart grids, and multi-agent coverage control. This work provides a fast convergent solution (in comparison with linear dynamics) while considering relaxed network connectivity with quantized communication links. The proposed dynamics reaches optimal solution over switching (possibly disconnected) undirected networks as far as their union over some bounded non-overlapping time-intervals has a spanning-tree. We prove feasibility of the solution, uniqueness of the optimal state, and convergence to the optimal value under the proposed dynamics, where the analysis is applicable to similar 1st-order allocation dynamics with strongly sign-preserving nonlinearities, such as actuator saturation.

In this paper, we consider the problem of optimally coordinating the response of a group of distributed energy resources (DERs) so they collectively meet the electric power demanded by a collection of loads, while minimizing the total generation cost
and respecting the DER capacity limits. This problem can be cast as a convex optimization problem, where the global objective is to minimize a sum of convex functions corresponding to individual DER generation cost, while satisfying (i) linear inequality constraints corresponding to the DER capacity limits and (ii) a linear equality constraint corresponding to the total power generated by the DERs being equal to the total power demand. We develop distributed algorithms to solve the DER coordination problem over time-varying communication networks with either bidirectional or unidirectional communication links. The proposed algorithms can be seen as distribute
This paper proposes a distributed framework for vehicle grid integration (VGI) taking into account the communication and physical networks. To this end, we model the electric vehicle (EV) behaviour that includes time of departure, time of arrival, st
ate of charge, required energy, and its objectives, e.g., avoid battery degradation. Next, we formulate the centralised day ahead distribution market (DADM) which explicitly represents the physical system, supports unbalanced three phase networks with delta and wye connections, and incorporates the charging needs of EVs. The solution of the centralised market requires knowledge of EV information in terms of desired energy, departure and arrival times that EV owners are reluctant in providing. Moreover, the computational effort required to solve the DADM in cases of numerous EVs is very intensive. As such, we propose a distributed solution of the DADM clearing mechanism over a time-varying communication network. We illustrate the proposed VGI framework through the 13-bus, 33- bus, and 141-bus distribution feeders.
Distributed processing over networks relies on in-network processing and cooperation among neighboring agents. Cooperation is beneficial when agents share a common objective. However, in many applications agents may belong to different clusters that
pursue different objectives. Then, indiscriminate cooperation will lead to undesired results. In this work, we propose an adaptive clustering and learning scheme that allows agents to learn which neighbors they should cooperate with and which other neighbors they should ignore. In doing so, the resulting algorithm enables the agents to identify their clusters and to attain improved learning and estimation accuracy over networks. We carry out a detailed mean-square analysis and assess the error probabilities of Types I and II, i.e., false alarm and mis-detection, for the clustering mechanism. Among other results, we establish that these probabilities decay exponentially with the step-sizes so that the probability of correct clustering can be made arbitrarily close to one.
In this paper, a general nonlinear 1st-order consensus-based solution for distributed constrained convex optimization is considered for applications in network resource allocation. The proposed continuous-time solution is used to optimize continuousl
y-differentiable strictly convex cost functions over weakly-connected undirected multi-agent networks. The solution is anytime feasible and models various nonlinearities to account for imperfections and constraints on the (physical model of) agents in terms of their limited actuation capabilities, e.g., quantization and saturation constraints among others. Moreover, different applications impose specific nonlinearities to the model, e.g., convergence in fixed/finite-time, robustness to uncertainties, and noise-tolerant dynamics. Our proposed distributed resource allocation protocol generalizes such nonlinear models. Putting convex set analysis together with the Lyapunov theorem, we provide a general technique to prove convergence (i) regardless of the particular type of nonlinearity (ii) with weak network-connectivity requirement (i.e., uniform-connectivity). We simulate the performance of the protocol in continuous-time coordination of generators, known as the economic dispatch problem (EDP).
In this paper, we consider the binary classification problem via distributed Support-Vector-Machines (SVM), where the idea is to train a network of agents, with limited share of data, to cooperatively learn the SVM classifier for the global database.
Agents only share processed information regarding the classifier parameters and the gradient of the local loss functions instead of their raw data. In contrast to the existing work, we propose a continuous-time algorithm that incorporates network topology changes in discrete jumps. This hybrid nature allows us to remove chattering that arises because of the discretization of the underlying CT process. We show that the proposed algorithm converges to the SVM classifier over time-varying weight balanced directed graphs by using arguments from the matrix perturbation theory.
