Suppose we have a directed graph G with set of nodes V = {1, . . . , N} and a measure xi for every node i V . The average consensus problem consists in computing the average xA = ...
We consider the problem of finding a sparse set of edges containing the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a random subgraph of G with high probability. The two random models that we ...
We show that a random walk on a tournament on n vertices finds either a sink or a 3-cycle in expected time O √ n · log n · log∗ n , that is, sublinear both in the size of th...
—We study the distributed desynchronization problem for graphs with arbitrary topology. Motivated by the severe computational limitations of sensor networks, we present a randomi...

Jim Propp's rotor router model is a deterministic analogue of a random walk on a graph. Instead of distributing chips randomly, each vertex serves its neighbors in a fixed or...
