A New Synchronous Lower Bound for Set Agreement
Abstract. We have a new proof of the lower bound that k-set agreement requires f/k + 1 rounds in a synchronous, message-passing model with f crash failures. The proof involves cons...

From a static impossibility to an adaptive lower bound: the complexity of early deciding set agreement
Set agreement, where processors decisions constitute a set of outputs, is notoriously harder to analyze than consensus where the decisions are restricted to a single output. This ...

A Tight Lower Bound for k-Set Agreement
: Weprove tight bounds on the time needed to solve k-set agreement, a natural generalization of consensus. We analyze this problem in a synchronous, message-passing model where pro...

Of Choices, Failures and Asynchrony: The Many Faces of Set Agreement
Abstract. Set agreement is a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which processes collectively choose a small subset of values from a larger set of proposals. The imposs...
