The generic feature of traffic in a network of flowing electronic data packets is a phase transition from a stationary free-flow phase to a continuously growing congested non-stationary phase. In the most simple network of directed oriented…
We study the popular randomized rumour spreading protocol Push. Initially, a node in a graph possesses some information, which is then spread in a round based manner. In each round, each informed node chooses uniformly at random one of its…
Information does not generally behave like a conservative fluid flow in communication networks with multiple sources and sinks. However, it is often conceptually and practically useful to be able to associate separate data streams with each…
Consensus is arguably the most studied problem in distributed computing as a whole, and particularly in the distributed message-passing setting. In this latter framework, research on consensus has considered various hypotheses regarding the…
We consider problems related to the combinatorial game (Free-)Flood-It, in which players aim to make a coloured graph monochromatic with the minimum possible number of flooding operations. We show that the minimum number of moves required…
In the voter model, each node of a graph has an opinion, and in every round each node chooses independently a random neighbour and adopts its opinion. We are interested in the consensus time, which is the first point in time where all nodes…
We study networks of processes that all execute the same finite state protocol and that communicate through broadcasts. The processes are organized in a graph (a topology) and only the neighbors of a process in this graph can receive its…
In this paper, we are concerned with the resilience of locally routed network flows with finite link capacities. In this setting, an external inflow is injected to the so-called origin nodes. The total inflow arriving at each node is routed…
Consider the complete n-vertex graph whose edge-lengths are independent exponentially distributed random variables. Simultaneously for each pair of vertices, put a constant flow between them along the shortest path. Each edge gets some…
Flooding provides important control and route establishment functionality for a number of unicast and multicast protocols in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. Considering its wide use as a building block for other network layer protocols, the…
Performance bounds for opportunistic networks have been derived in a number of recent papers for several key quantities, such as the expected delivery time of a unicast message, or the flooding time (a measure of how fast information…
A large and sparse random graph with independent exponentially distributed link weights can be used to model the propagation of messages or diseases in a network with an unknown connectivity structure. In this article we study an extended…
The jump graph $J(G)$ of a simple graph $G$ has vertices which represent edges in $G$ where two vertices in $J(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges in $G$ do not share an endpoint. In this paper, we examine sequences of…
The boundary conditions prescribing the constant traction or the so-called do-nothing conditions are frequently taken on artificial boundaries in the numerical simulations of steady flow of incompressible fluids, despite the fact that they…
In transportation networks, a spontaneous jamming transition is often observed, e.g in urban road networks and airport networks. Because of this instability, flow distribution is significantly imbalanced on a macroscopic level. To mitigate…
In broadcasting, one node of a network has a message that must be learned by all other nodes. We study deterministic algorithms for this fundamental communication task in a very weak model of wireless communication. The only signals sent by…
When using ordinal patterns, which describe the ordinal structure within a data vector, the problem of ties appeared permanently. So far, model classes were used which do not allow for ties; randomization has been another attempt to…
We present an algebraic approach to the watershed adapted to edge or node weighted graphs. Starting with the flooding adjunction, we introduce the flooding graphs, for which node and edge weights may be deduced one from the other. Each node…
In the fully dynamic edge connectivity problem, the input is a simple graph $G$ undergoing edge insertions and deletions, and the goal is to maintain its edge connectivity, denoted $\lambda_G$. We present two simple randomized algorithms…
We provide a new algebraic technique to solve the sequential flow problem in polynomial space. The task is to maximise the flow through a graph where edge capacities can be changed over time by choosing a sequence of capacity labelings from…
