FedProx: proximal local subproblems for heterogeneous federated optimization

Added a quadratic penalty around the broadcast model to local client objectives, allowing inexact local solutions while analyzing progress under a device-dissimilarity condition.

What is recorded here?

Added a quadratic penalty around the broadcast model to local client objectives, allowing inexact local solutions while analyzing progress under a device-dissimilarity condition.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Original 2018 front starts Anit Kumar Sahu then Tian Li, equal-contribution marked; later title/order not retroactively substituted. Inherits proximal regularization and FedAvg. Theory needs bounded local dissimilarity away from approximate stationarity and specified smoothness/solver accuracy; not convergence under arbitrary heterogeneous data, any proximal coefficient or unrestricted inexact solves.
