报告题目：Networked Parallel Algorithms for Robust Convex Programs
报告摘要：This talk studies a parallel computing framework to distributedly solve robust convex optimization (RCO) where the constraints are affected by nonlinear uncertainties. We adopt a scenario approach by randomly sampling the uncertainty set, and obtained a scenario problem (SP) with optimality guarantee in a probabilistic sense. To solve the SP, we resort to multiple parallel processors that are distributed among different nodes of a network. Then, we propose a primal-dual sub-gradient algorithm and a random projection algorithm to distributedly solve the SP over undirected and directed graphs, respectively. Both algorithms are given in an explicit recursive form with simple iterations, which are especially suited for processors with limited computational capability. We show that, if the underlying graph is strongly connected, each node asymptotically computes a common optimal solution to the SP with a convergence rate where is a sequence of appropriately decreasing stepsizes.
