“Distributed Methods for Constrained Nonconvex Multi-Agent  Optimization - Part I: Theory”

Comparison of some methods: 

1) Feasible Sequential Quadratic Programming (FSQP) methods [2];  --- maintain feasibility but centralized.

2) Parallel Variable Distribution (PVD) methods [3]-[5]; --- parallel but an amount of info exchange/knowledge & convergence only for convex or non convex but block separable constraints.

3) SCA algorithms [6]-[11].

    --- [6][7][11]: centralized; [8]-[10]: distributed methods but convex and separable constraints.
