Abstract
Given a finite connected graph , place a bin at each vertex. Two bins are called a pair if they share an edge of . At discrete times, a ball is added to each pair of bins. In a pair of bins, one of the bins gets the ball with probability proportional to its current number of balls. Previous works proved that when is not balanced bipartite, the proportion of balls in the bins converges to a point almost surely. We prove almost sure convergence for balanced bipartite graphs: the possible limit is either a single point or a closed interval .
