Abstract— We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize an objective function that can be written as the sum of component functions, each of ...
In this work a grid free Monte Carlo algorithm for solving elliptic boundary value problems is investigated. The proposed Monte Carlo approach leads to a random process called a ba...
We consider the problem of structured classification, where the task is to predict a label y from an input x, and y has meaningful internal structure. Our framework includes super...

Abstract-- We study the convergence rate of average consensus algorithms in networks with stochastic communication failures. We show how the system dynamics can be modeled by a dis...
