Distributed Optimization of Multiagent Systems in Directed Networks with Time-Varying Delay

Abstract EN

This paper addresses a distributed consensus optimization problem of a first-order multiagent system with time-varying delay.

A continuous-time distributed optimization algorithm is proposed.

Different from most ways of solving distributed optimization problem, the Lyapunov-Razumikhin theorem is applied to the convergence analysis instead of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals with LMI conditions.

A sufficient condition for the control parameters is obtained to make all the agents converge to the optimal solution of the system.

Finally, an example is given to validate the effectiveness of our theoretical result.
