Abstract
En 中文
In this article, the distributed finite-time and fixed-time optimization problems are investigated by adopting the zero-gradient-sum (ZGS) framework in multiagent systems. Specifically, when the local convex functions are nonquadratic, a basic optimization protocol is proposed to obtain a finite-time convergence, such that the networked system can cooperatively seek the optimal solution of the global objective, the sum of local objective, in a limited time. By utilizing the property of quadratic functions, a reduced algorithm can remove the dependence of initial conditions in the estimation of the upper bound of settling time and achieve a fixed-time result. Besides, the problem with time-varying topologies is studied by introducing a modified algorithm with an artificial potential function to preserve the network connectivity. Finally, the validity of the protocols is demonstrated via some example simulations.
