Distributed Primal Outer Approximation Algorithm for Sparse Convex Programming with Separable Structures
2022
This paper presents the Distributed Primal Outer Approximation (DiPOA) algorithm for solving Sparse Convex Programming (SCP) problems with separable structures, efficiently, and in a decentralized manner. The DiPOA algorithm development consists of embedding the recently proposed Relaxed Hybrid Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (RH-ADMM) algorithm into the Outer Approximation (OA) algorithm. We also propose two main improvements to control the quality and the number of cutting planes that approximate non…
