Incremental gradient-free method for nonsmooth distributed optimization

In this paper we consider the minimization of the sum of local convex component functions distributed over a multi-agent network. We first extend the Nesterov's random gradient-free method to the incremental setting. Then we propose the incremental gradient-free methods, including a cyclic orde...
