Tree Representation, Growth Rate of Blockchain and Reward Allocation in Ethereum with Multiple Mining Pools
Quan-Lin Li, Yan-Xia Chang, Chi Zhang
It is interesting but difficult and challenging to study Ethereum with multiple mining pools. One of the main difficulties comes from not only how to represent such a general tree…
Sensitivity-Based Optimization for Blockchain Selfish Mining
Jing-Yu Ma, Quan-Lin Li
In this paper, we provide a novel dynamic decision method of blockchain selfish mining by applying the sensitivity-based optimization theory. Our aim is to find the optimal dynamic…
Stochastic Performance Modeling for Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance Consensus in Blockchain
Fan-Qi Ma, Quan-Lin Li, Yi-Han Liu +1
The practical Byzantine fault tolerant (PBFT) consensus mechanism is one of the most basic consensus algorithms (or protocols) in blockchain technologies, thus its performance eval…
A New Theoretical Framework of Pyramid Markov Processes for Blockchain Selfish Mining
Quan-Lin Li, Yan-Xia Chang, Xiaole Wu +1
In this paper, we provide a new theoretical framework of pyramid Markov processes to solve some open and fundamental problems of blockchain selfish mining under a rigorous mathemat…
Markov Processes in Blockchain Systems
Quan-Lin Li, Jing-Yu Ma, Yan-Xia Chang +2
In this paper, we develop a more general framework of block-structured Markov processes in the queueing study of blockchain systems, which can provide analysis both for the station…
