Majority dynamics on random graphs: the multiple states case

Probability 2025-05-12 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We study the evolution of majority dynamics with more than two states on the binomial random graph G(n,p)G(n,p). In this process, each vertex has a state in {1,,k}\{1,\ldots, k\}, with k3k\geq 3, and at each round every vertex adopts state ii if it has more neighbours in state ii that in any other state. Ties are resolved randomly. We show that with high probability the process reaches unanimity in at most three rounds, if npn2/3np\gg n^{2/3}.
