In this formulation, while the network performance is dependent on a collection of parameters, each individual agent may be influenced by only a subset of the parameters. Problems of this type arise in several applications, most notably in distributed control formu- lations and in power system monitoring. The resulting coupled exact diffusion strategy is shown to converge to the true optimizer at a linear rate for strongly-convex cost functionstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
