  • Abstract
    This paper presents a dual-mode decentralized scheme for controlling the flow of a commodity through a network. In the first mode, the local controllers, which are located at the nodes of the network, exchange some simple messages with their neighbors and determine the local optimum flows. In the second mode, the local controllers adjust their flows to achieve the optimum steady-state conditions in finite time.
