We study the averaging-based distributed optimization solvers over random networks. We show a general result on the convergence of such schemes using weight-matrices that are row-stochastic almost surely and column-stochastic in expectation for a broad class of dependent weight-matrix sequences. In addition to implying many of the previously known results on this domain, our work shows the robustness of distributed optimization results to link-failure. Also, it provides a new tool for synthesizing distributed optimization algorithms. To prove our main theorem, we establish new results on the rate of convergence analysis of averaging dynamics over (dependent) random networks. These secondary results, along with the required martingale-type results to establish them, might be of interest to a broader research endeavors in distributed computation over random networks.
An n symbol source which has a Huffman code with codelength vector L n = (1, 2, 3, · · · , n − 2, n − 1, n − 1) is called an anti-uniform source. In this paper, it is shown that for this class of sources, the optimal fix-free code and symmetric fix-free code is C * n = (0, 11, 101, 1001, · · · , 1 n−2 0 · · · 0 1).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
