Undecided State Dynamics with Stubborn Agents

Petra Berenbrink, Felix Biermeier, Christopher Hahn

In the classical Approximate Majority problem with two opinions there are agents with Opinion 1 and with Opinion 2. The goal is to reach consensus and to agree on the majority opin…

Population Protocols for Exact Plurality Consensus -- How a small chance of failure helps to eliminate insignificant opinions

Gregor Bankhamer, Petra Berenbrink, Felix Biermeier +4

We consider the \emph{exact plurality consensus} problem for \emph{population protocols}. Here, anonymous agents start each with one of opinions. Their goal is to agree on…

Fast Convergence of -Opinion Undecided State Dynamics in the Population Protocol Model

Talley Amir, James Aspnes, Petra Berenbrink +4

We analyze the convergence of the -opinion Undecided State Dynamics (USD) in the population protocol model. For =2 opinions it is well known that the USD reaches consensus wi…

Loosely-Stabilizing Phase Clocks and the Adaptive Majority Problem

Petra Berenbrink, Felix Biermeier, Christopher Hahn +1

We present a loosely-stabilizing phase clock for population protocols. In the population model we are given a system of identical agents which interact in a sequence of randoml…

Fast Consensus via the Unconstrained Undecided State Dynamics

Gregor Bankhamer, Petra Berenbrink, Felix Biermeier +4

We consider the plurality consensus problem among agents. Initially, each agent has one of different opinions. Agents choose random interaction partners and revise their st…

A Communication-Efficient Distributed Data Structure for Top-k and k-Select Queries

Felix Biermeier, Björn Feldkord, Manuel Malatyali +1

We consider the scenario of sensor nodes observing streams of data. The nodes are connected to a central server whose task it is to compute some function over all data items ob…

Monitoring of Domain-Related Problems in Distributed Data Streams

Pascal Bemmann, Felix Biermeier, Jan Bürmann +10

Consider a network in which distributed nodes are connected to a single server. Each node continuously observes a data stream consisting of one value per discrete time step. Th…
