© 2018 IEEE. Recently, the primal-dual method of multipliers (PDMM) has been proposed and successfully applied to solve a number of decomposable convex optimizations distributedly and iteratively. In this work, we study the gradient based PDMM (GPDMM), where the objective functions are approximated using the gradient information per iteration. It is shown that for a certain class of decomposable convex optimizations, synchronous GPDMM has a sublinear convergence rate of O(1/K) (where K denotes the iteration index). Experiments on a problem of distributed ridge regularized logistic regression demonstrate the efficiency of synchronous GPDMM.
