Coin flipping is a cryptographic primitive in which two spatially separated players, who in principle do not trust each other, wish to establish a common random bit. If we limit ...
Abstract. This article presents a randomized algorithm for leader election which uses bidirectionality of an asynchronous ring to force a node to "commit" to a coin flip ...
We consider combinatorial and computational issues that are related to the problem of moving coins from one configuration to another. Coins are defined as non-overlapping discs, an...
