文章关注于去中心化的带正则项的经验风险最小化问题,但此时每一个损失函数存储在不同的去中心化的分布式机器上,也即,
\[\begin{align} \min h(x) &= f(x) + r(x) =\frac{1}{m} \sum_{i=1}^m f_i(x) + r(x) \end{align}\]其中 $f_i(x)$ 为每台机器上的损失函数,$r(x)$ 为共享的正则项,文章将 Nesterov加速方法 用于该去中心化的分布式优化上,
假设每一个函数 $f_i(x)$ 满足 $L$- 光滑 和 $\mu$-强凸性质,而其方法首先基于FastMix算子,其效果是利用分布式机器之间的通信矩阵 $W$ 进行通信,使得每台机器中的向量与均值接近,且算法的收敛速度为线性收敛性,也即使用FastMix算子迭代 $k$ 次之后,得到的所有机器上的向量 $\mathbf{x}$ 满足,
\[\Vert \mathbf{x} - \bar{\mathbf{x}} \Vert \le (1- \sqrt{1- \lambda_2(W)})^k \Vert \mathbf{x_0} - \bar{\mathbf{x}} \Vert\]取Nesterov加速方法中的一个特例,令 $\theta_0 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu}{L} }$, 则有 $\gamma_k = \mu,$ 更新公式变为,
\[\begin{align} y_k &= x_k + \frac{\sqrt{\kappa} - 1}{\sqrt{\kappa}+1 } (x_k - x_{k-1}) ,\text{With } \kappa = \frac{L}{\mu} \\ x_{k+1} &= \textbf{prox}_{\eta,r }(y_k - \eta \nabla f(x)) ,\eta = \frac{1}{L}\\ \end{align}\]将其更新公式用于去中心化的场景,此时一个关键的问题是每一台机器并不能获取全局函数 $f(x)$ 的梯度 $\nabla f(x)$ ,因此每一台机器必须记录自己的梯度并且使用FastMix算子使得每台机器的梯度记录值接近于均值,则该记录值近似于全局梯度,该技术称为 Gradient Tracking技术,因此算法如下,
\[\begin{align} \mathbf{x_{k+1}} &= \text{FastMix}(\textbf{prox}_{\eta,r}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k})) \\ \mathbf{y_{k+1}} &= \text{FastMix}(\mathbf{x_{k+1}} + \frac{\sqrt\kappa - 1}{\sqrt \kappa +1}(\mathbf{x_{k+1}} - \mathbf{x_k}) ) \\ \mathbf{s_{k+1}} &= \text{FastMix}(\mathbf{s_k} + \nabla f(\mathbf{y_{k+1}})- \nabla f(\mathbf{y_k}) ) \end{align}\]类似Nesterov加速方法,收敛性的证明依赖于如下定义的Lyapunov函数,
\[\begin{align} \mathcal{V_k} &= h(\bar x_k) - h(x_{\ast}) + \frac{\mu}{2} \Vert \bar v_k - x_{\ast} \Vert_2^2 \\ \text{With } \bar v_k &=\bar x_{k-1} + \sqrt{\kappa}(\bar x_{k}- \bar x_{k-1}) \end{align}\]算法的收敛性证明可以转化为上述Lyapunov函数的收敛。
本文计算的常数项可以与原论文不一致,但证明思路与收敛率是相同的。

在正式的证明之前,需要如下一些引理的准备,用来控制与梯度及其中心相关的量,并且写成向量形式,
类似于近端梯度下降算法中的证明,需要定义广义梯度,
\[\begin{align} y_{k+1} &= \textbf{prox}(y_k - \eta \nabla f(y_k)) \\ &=y_k - \eta \tilde \nabla h(y_k) \\ \text{Define } \tilde \nabla h(y_k) &= \frac{y_{k} - \textbf{prox}(y_k - \eta \nabla f(y_k))}{\eta} \\ &= L(x_k - \textbf{prox}(y_k - \frac{1}{L} \nabla f(y_k))) ,\text{Let } \eta = \frac{1}{L} \end{align}\]算法需要对梯度进行控制,将对于标量形式的结论推广到向量形式,
\[\begin{align} \Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{y}) - \nabla f(\mathbf{x}) \Vert &\le L \Vert y -x \Vert ,\text{By } \Vert \nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x) \vert \le \Vert y - x \Vert \\ \end{align}\]对于梯度的平均值也有类似的结论,
\[\begin{align} \Vert \mathbf{1} \cdot\bar g - \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y)\Vert &= \Vert \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{ \nabla f(y^{(i)}) -\nabla f(\bar y) }{\sqrt m} \Vert, \text{Let } \bar g = \frac{1}{m} \sum_{i=1}^m \nabla f(y^{(i)})\\ &\le \Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{y}) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y)\Vert, \text{By } \Vert \sum_{i=1}^m \mathbf{a}^{(i)} \Vert \le \sqrt{m} \Vert \mathbf{a} \Vert \\ &\le L \Vert \mathbf{y} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y \Vert \end{align}\]对于广义梯度,用到了 $\textbf{prox}$ 算子的非拓展性,也即,
\[\begin{align} \text{By } \Vert \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{x}) - \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y}) \Vert &\le \Vert \mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y} \Vert \\ \Vert \tilde \nabla h(\mathbf{x}) - \tilde \nabla h(\mathbf{y}) \Vert &= L \Vert (\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y}) -(\textbf{prox}(\mathbf{x} - \eta \nabla f(\mathbf{x}) )) - \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y} - \eta \nabla f(\mathbf{y})) \Vert \\ &\le L \Vert \mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y} \Vert + L \Vert \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{x} - \eta \nabla f(\mathbf{x}) )) - \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y} - \eta \nabla f(\mathbf{y})) \Vert \\ &\le L \Vert \mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y} \Vert + L \Vert (\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y}) - \eta(\nabla f(\mathbf{x}) - \nabla f(\mathbf{y})) \Vert \\ &\le 2 L \Vert \mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y} \Vert + \Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{x}) - \nabla f(\mathbf{y}) \Vert \\ &\le 3L \Vert \mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y} \Vert \end{align}\]类似地对于与 $\textbf{prox}$ 算子相关的平均值,
\[\begin{align} \Vert \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar p -\mathbf{1} \cdot \textbf{prox}(\bar x) \Vert &= \Vert \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{ \textbf{prox} (x^{(i)})-\textbf{prox}(\bar x) }{\sqrt m} \Vert, \text{Let } \bar p = \frac{1}{m} \sum_{i=1}^m \textbf{prox}(x^{(i)})\\ &\le \Vert \textbf{prox} (\mathbf{x}) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \textbf{prox} (\bar x)\Vert, \text{By } \Vert \sum_{i=1}^m \mathbf{a}^{(i)} \Vert \le \sqrt{m} \Vert \mathbf{a} \Vert \\ &\le \Vert \mathbf{x} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar x \Vert \end{align}\]由于算法中采用了 Gradient Tracking 的技术,采用 $s_k$ 相关的量估计真正的梯度,需要估计其和真实的广义梯度之间的差距,
算法用巧妙之处在于使用的FastMix算子并不会改变平均值,因此根据递推公式我们可以知道梯度的平均值保持一定, $\bar s_k = \bar g_k$
\[\begin{align} \mathbf{s_{k+1}} &= \text{FastMix}(\mathbf{s_k} + \nabla f(\mathbf{y_{k+1}})- \nabla f(\mathbf{y_k}) ) \\ \bar s_{k+1} &= \bar s_k + \bar g_{k+1} - \bar g_k ,\text{Let } \bar g_k = \frac{1}{m } \sum_{i=1}^m \nabla f(y_k) \\ \text{We know } \bar s_0 &= \bar g_0, \text{Then by induction } \bar s_k = \bar g_k \end{align}\]利用该重要的性质可以得到广义梯度的估计量和真实广义梯度的估计量之间的差距,证明的时候先利用和均值的差距,
\[\begin{align} \text{Define } \textbf{G}_k &= \frac{\textbf{y}_k - \textbf{prox}(\textbf{y}_k - \eta \textbf{s}_k)}{\eta} \\ \Vert \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar G_k - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \tilde \nabla h(\bar y_k) \Vert &= \Vert \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{\eta G_k^{(i)} - \eta \tilde \nabla h(\bar y_k)}{\sqrt m} \Vert \\ &\le \Vert \eta \mathbf{G_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \eta \tilde \nabla h(\bar y_k) \Vert \\ &= \Vert (\mathbf{y}_k - \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k})) - \mathbf{1} \cdot (\bar y_k - \textbf{prox}(\bar y_k - \eta \nabla f(\bar y_k)) \Vert \\ &= \Vert \mathbf{y_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \Vert \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y_k} -\eta \mathbf{s_k}) - \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y_k)) \Vert \\ &\le \Vert \mathbf{y_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \Vert (\mathbf{y_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k) - \eta( \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y_k)) \Vert\\ &\le 2 \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k}- \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y_k) \Vert \\ &=2 \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \eta \Vert (\mathbf{s_k}- \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k) - (\mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y_k) -\mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k) \Vert \\ &\le 2 \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + \eta\Vert \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k - \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y_k) \Vert \\ &= 2 \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + \eta \Vert \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar g_k - \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y_k) \Vert ,\text{By }\bar g_k = \bar s_k \\ &\le 2 \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + \eta\Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{y_k}) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y_k) \Vert \\ &\le 2 \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + \eta\Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{y_k}) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar y_k) \Vert \\ &\le 2 \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + \Vert \mathbf{y_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert ,\text{By } \eta = \frac{1}{L}\\ &=3 \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + \eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert \end{align}\]在均值的差距可以被控制的基础上,整个广义梯度的估计量与真实广义梯度的差距也理应被控制,
首先有, \(\begin{align} \Vert \eta \mathbf{G_k} - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar G_k \Vert &\le \Vert \eta \mathbf{G_k} - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar G_k \Vert \\ &= \Vert (\mathbf{y_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k) - (\textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k}) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar p_k) \Vert \\ &\le \Vert \mathbf{y_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert+ \Vert \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k}) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar p_k \Vert \\ &=\Vert \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k}) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar p_k \Vert + \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert ,\text{Define } \bar p_k = \frac{1}{m} \sum_{i=1}^m \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k})\\ &\le \Vert \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k}) -\mathbf{1} \cdot \textbf{prox}(\bar y_k - \eta \bar s_k) \Vert + \Vert \mathbf{1} \cdot \textbf{prox}(\bar y_k - \eta \bar s_k) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar p_k \Vert + \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert \\ &\le 2 \Vert \textbf{prox}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k}) -\mathbf{1} \cdot \textbf{prox}(\bar y_k - \eta \bar s_k) \Vert +\Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert \\ &\le 2 \Vert (\mathbf{y_k}- \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k) - (\eta \mathbf{s_k} - \eta \bar s_k) \Vert + \Vert \mathbf{y_{k}} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert \\ &\le 3 \Vert \mathbf {y_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + 2\eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert \end{align}\)
因此,
\[\begin{align} \Vert \eta \mathbf{G_k} - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \tilde \nabla h(\bar y_k) \Vert &= \Vert (\eta \mathbf{G_k} - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot\bar G_k) - (\eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \tilde \nabla h(\bar y_k) - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot\bar G_k) \Vert \\ &\le \Vert \eta \mathbf{G_k} - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar G_k \Vert + \Vert \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \tilde \nabla h(\bar y_k) - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar G_k \Vert \\ &\le 6 \Vert \mathbf {y_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + 3 \eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert \end{align}\]对于梯度 $\nabla f(x)$, Gradient Tracking得到的估计量也满足差距很小的性质,
\[\begin{align} \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \nabla f(\mathbf{x_k}) \Vert &\le \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + \Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{x_k}) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert \\ &\le \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + \Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{x_k}) - \mathbf{1}\cdot \nabla f(\bar x_k) \Vert + \Vert \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k - \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar x_k) \Vert \\ &= \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + \Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{x_k}) - \mathbf{1}\cdot \nabla f(\bar x_k) \Vert + \Vert \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar g_k - \mathbf{1} \cdot \nabla f(\bar x_k) \Vert ,\text{By } \bar g_k = \bar s_k\\ &\le \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + 2\Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{x_k}) - \mathbf{1}\cdot \nabla f(\bar x_k) \Vert \\ &\le \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert + 2L \Vert \mathbf{x_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar x_k \Vert \\ \end{align}\]Bound for Consensus Error
基于上述的引理,本节证明使用FastMix操作后的向量距离均值的范数可以被控制住,
基于FastMix可以达到任意精度 $\rho$ 使得向量的每个元素都收敛于均值,也即
\[\begin{align} \Vert \text{FastMix}(\mathbf{x}) - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar x \Vert \le \rho \Vert \mathbf{x} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar x \Vert \end{align}\]我们希望递推地控制住 $\mathbf{y_k}, \mathbf{s_k}, \mathbf{x_k}$ 离中心或者均值的距离,对于 $\mathbf{x_{k}}$ ,
\[\begin{align} \mathbf{x_{k+1}} &= \text{FastMix}(\textbf{prox}_{\eta,r}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k})) \\ \Vert \mathbf{x}_{k+1} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar x_{k+1} \Vert &\le \rho \Vert \textbf{prox}_{\eta,r}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k}) - \bar p_k \Vert ,\text{With } \bar p_k = \frac{1}{m} \sum_{i=1}^m \textbf{prox}_{\eta,r}(\mathbf{y_k}^{(i)} - \eta \mathbf{s_k}^{(i)}) \\ &\le \rho \Vert \textbf{prox}_{\eta,r}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k}) -\textbf{prox}_{\eta,r}(\mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k) \Vert + \rho \Vert \textbf{prox}_{\eta,r}(\mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k) -\bar p_k \Vert \\ & \le 2 \rho \Vert \textbf{prox}_{\eta,r}(\mathbf{y_k} - \eta \mathbf{s_k}) -\textbf{prox}_{\eta,r}(\mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k - \eta \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k) \Vert \\ & \le 2 \rho \Vert \mathbf{y_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar y_k \Vert + 2 \rho \eta \Vert \mathbf{s_k} - \mathbf{1} \cdot \bar s_k \Vert \end{align}\]对于 $\mathbf{y_k}$, 同样利用更新公式以及FastMix算子的性质,
