Abstract(in English) This report studies the problem of making the states of all agents in a network converge to the same point in the intersection of all constraint sets, each of which is given to only one of the agents. As a distributed algorithm for this problem, Nedic et al. proposed the projected consensus algorithm, and derived a sufficient condition for the convergence of the algorithm under the assumption that the directed graph representing the communication among agents is time-varying. In this report, we first derive a new sufficient condition for the convergence of the algorithm under the assumption that the directed graph is time-invariant. While the conventional condition requires that every vertex has a self-loop, the new condition does not. We next confirm the validity of the new sufficient condition through numerical experiments performed for a system of linear equations with nonnegativity constraints.
