This article considers a problem of solving the optimal solution of the sum of locally convex cost functions over an undirected network. Each local convex cost function in the network is accessed only by each unit. To be able to reduce the amount of computation and get the desired result in an accelerated way, we put forward a fresh accelerated decentralized event-triggered algorithm, named as A-DETA, for the optimization problem. A-DETA combines gradient tracking and two momentum accelerated terms, adopts nonuniform step-sizes and emphasizes that each unit interacts with neighboring units independently only at the sampling time triggered by the event. On the premise of assuming the smoothness and strong convexity of the cost function, it is proved that A-DETA can obtain the exact optimal solution linearly in the event of sufficiently small positive step-size and momentum coefficient. Moreover, an explicit linear convergence speed is definitely shown. Finally, extensive simulation example validates the usability of A-DETA.

Considering a game with quadratic cost functions, this paper presents a distributed algorithm with security, whereby each player updates its strategy variable without using its private data and still achieves the Nash equilibrium. By using the theory of differential inclusions, Lyapunov function and invariance principle, the algorithm is proved to be convergent. Our algorithm can be used when it is required to seek the Nash equilibrium without disclosure of private data.
