title = "A distributed real-time algorithm for preference-based agreement",
abstract = "This paper studies a real-time distributed dual sub-gradient algorithm for multi-agent coordination. A finite-time optimal control problem with a terminal coupling consensus constraint is considered. The algorithm is shown to be equivalent to a linear time-varying (LTV) dynamical system with a distributed structure. The error between the multiplier values of the algorithm and the corresponding centralized solution is also given as an LTV system. This is used to derive an error bound for the terminal state of the algorithm to the optimal consensus value that is a function of the communication graph and the weights of each agents objective function.",
