New algorithm Dec-BFTRL tackles decentralized online optimization

Researchers have introduced Dec-BFTRL, a novel algorithm for decentralized online optimization. This method is designed for upper-linearizable payoffs and is particularly applicable to continuous submodular maximization problems. Dec-BFTRL achieves an expected network-aggregate regret of approximately O(sqrt(T)) over T rounds, with each agent employing neighbor-mixing steps and separation-oracle calls. AI

    Dec-BFTRL: Squre-Root Regret for Decentralized Online Upper-Linearizable Optimization under Separation Access with Application to Continuous Submodular Maximization

    arXiv:2608.30271v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study decentralized online optimization of upper-linearizable payoffs over an action set under efficient separation access, with applications to online continuous diminishing-return (DR) submodular maximization. We propose Dece…
