Distributed networked localization using neighboring distances only through a computational topology control approach by Xiaochu Wang, Ting Sun, Changhao Sun, Junqi Wang

“…In general, distributed algorithms for this problem are likely to suffer from the failures that localizations are trapped in local minima. Focusing on this issue, this article considers a fully distributed algorithm by introducing a novel mechanism, where each individual node is allowed to computationally interact with a random subset of its neighbors, for helping localizations escape from local minima. …”
