Decentralized Federated Learning reaches the global minimum with zero performance gap and matches the convergence rate of centralized methods when the loss function is smooth and strongly convex.
Source quote, verbatim
The DeceFL approach ensures that every client can reach the global minimum with zero performance gap and achieve the same convergence rate as centralized methods when the loss function is smooth and strongly convex.
