Abstract

We consider the problem of minimizing the sum of convex functions over a network when each component function is known (with stochastic errors) to a specific network agent. We discuss a gossip based algorithm of [2], and we analyze its error bounds for a constant stepsize that is uncoordinated across the agents.
