description This paper focuses on a class of event-triggered discrete-time distributed consensus optimization algorithms, with a set of agents whose communication topology is depicted by a sequence of time-varying networks. The communication process is steered by independent trigger conditions observed by agents and is decentralized and just rests with each agent’s own state. At each time, each agent only has access to its privately local Lipschitz convex objective function. At the next time step, every agent updates its state by applying its own objective function and the information sent from its neighboring agents. Under the assumption that the network topology is uniformly strongly connected and weight-balanced, the novel event-triggered distributed subgradient algorithm is capable of steering the whole network of agents asymptotically converging to an optimal solution of the convex optimization problem. Finally, a simulation example is given to validate effectiveness of the introduced algorithm and demonstrate feasibility of the theoretical analysis.
