  Many problems of interest for cyber-physical network systems can be
formulated as Mixed Integer Linear Programs in which the constraints are
distributed among the agents. In this paper we propose a distributed algorithm
to solve this class of optimization problems in a peer-to-peer network with no
coordinator and with limited computation and communication capabilities. In the
proposed algorithm, at each communication round, agents solve locally a small
LP, generate suitable cutting planes, namely intersection cuts and cost-based
cuts, and communicate a fixed number of active constraints, i.e., a candidate
optimal basis. We prove that, if the cost is integer, the algorithm converges
to the lexicographically minimal optimal solution in a finite number of
communication rounds. Finally, through numerical computations, we analyze the
algorithm convergence as a function of the network size.
