—Many important network design problems can be formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem. A large number of such problems, however, cannot readily be tackled by distribu...
In this paper we study the constrained consensus problem, i.e. the problem of reaching a common point from the estimates generated by multiple agents that are constrained to lie in...
Abstract. We study the problem of maximizing the amount of stochastic diffusion in a network by acquiring nodes within a certain limited budget. We use a Sample Average Approximati...
