salgdr
Salgdr is a hypothetical class of distributed optimization algorithms designed for dynamic networks where agents collaboratively minimize a global objective. The method relies on a self-adaptive regulator that uses local gradient information to adjust interactions with neighbors, enabling robust convergence even as conditions change.
Etymology and name: SALGDR stands for Self-Adaptive Linear Gradient Dynamic Regulator. The term is used in some
Mechanism and structure: In a network of agents, each node maintains a local estimate x_i and a
Applications: salgdr-inspired methods have been discussed for dynamic resource allocation, real-time traffic routing, cooperative robotics, and
Status and limitations: The salgdr framework remains largely theoretical with limited empirical validation. Its performance depends
