内容简介：

In this talk, both constrained consensus and optimization problems are studied for multi-agent systems in unbalanced networks in the presence of communication delays. In the constrained consensus problem, each agent needs to lie in a closed convex constraint set while reaching a consensus. In the constrained optimization problem, each agent needs to lie in a closed convex constraint set while the agents need to cooperatively optimize a team objective function formed by the sum of individual objective functions in a distributed manner. The communication graphs might be directed, dynamically changing, and not necessarily balanced and only the union of the graphs is assumed to be strongly connected among each time interval of a certain bounded length.
