Abstract

For resource allocation problems in multi-agent networks involving nonsmooth constraints and objectives, this paper presents a new continuous-time algorithm modeled via differential inclusion. Key findings include the proof that state solutions enter the feasible region in finite time and the demonstration of global boundedness and convergence to optimal solutions. The proposed algorithm is distinguished by its ability to handle general convex functions without requiring strong or strict convexity, as well as its low-dimensional state space and lack of projection operators. These features contribute to a more robust and less complex implementation compared to standard algorithms. The paper concludes with numerical simulations and a power system application that highlight the algorithm's practical performance.
