Query: Decomposition by Partial Linearization: Parallel Optimization of
  Multi-Agent Systems   We propose a novel decomposition framework for the distributed optimization
of general nonconvex sum-utility functions arising naturally in the system
design of wireless multiuser interfering systems. Our main contributions are:
i) the development of the first class of (inexact) Jacobi best-response
algorithms with provable convergence, where all the users simultaneously and
iteratively solve a suitably convexified version of the original sum-utility
optimization problem; ii) the derivation of a general dynamic pricing mechanism
that provides a unified view of existing pricing schemes that are based,
instead, on heuristics; and iii) a framework that can be easily particularized
to well-known applications, giving rise to very efficient practical (Jacobi or
Gauss-Seidel) algorithms that outperform existing adhoc methods proposed for
very specific problems. Interestingly, our framework contains as special cases
well-known gradient algorithms for nonconvex sum-utility problems, and many
blockcoordinate descent schemes for convex functions.
