This paper investigates the distributed continuous-time optimization problem, which consists of a group of agents with variant local cost functions. An adaptive consensus-based algorithm with event triggering communications is introduced, which can drive the participating agents to minimize the global cost function and exclude the Zeno behavior. Compared to the existing results, the proposed event-based algorithm is independent of the parameters of the cost functions, using only the relative information of neighboring agents, and hence is fully distributed. Furthermore, the constraints of the convexity of the cost functions are relaxed.
