Abstract

Recently, there have been growing interests in solving distributed consensus optimization problems over directed networks that consist of multiple agents. In this paper, we develop a first-order (gradient-based) algorithm, referred to as Push-DIGing, for this class of problems. To run Push-DIGing, each agent in the network only needs to know its own out-degree and employs a fixed step-size. Under the strong convexity assumption, we prove that the introduced algorithm converges to the global minimizer at some R-linear (geometric) rate as long as the nonnegative step-size is no greater than some explicit bound.
