A modular approach to shared-memory consensus, with applications to the probabilistic-write model
We define two new classes of shared-memory objects: ratifiers, which detect agreement, and conciliators, which ensure agreement with some probability. We show that consensus can...

A Simple Population Protocol for Fast Robust Approximate Majority
We describe and analyze a 3-state one-way population protocol to compute approximate majority in the model in which pairs of agents are drawn uniformly at random to interact. Given...

Quantized consensus via adaptive stochastic gossip algorithm
Abstract— This paper is concerned with the distributed averaging problem over a given undirected graph. To enable every vertex to compute the average of the initial numbers sitti...

The Combined Power of Conditions and Information on Failures to Solve Asynchronous Set Agreement
Abstract. To cope with the impossibility of solving agreement problems in asynchronous systems made up of n processes and prone to t process crashes, system designers tailor their ...

Distributed average consensus in sensor networks with quantized inter-sensor communication
— The paper studies distributed average consensus in sensor networks, when the sensors exchange quantized data at each time step. We show that randomizing the exchanged sensor da...
