We study the phenomenon of information propagation on mobile geometric scale-free random graphs, where vertices instantaneously pass on information to all other vertices in the same connected component. The graphs we consider are…
Information dissemination is a fundamental problem in parallel and distributed computing. In its simplest variant, the broadcasting problem, a message has to be spread among all nodes of a graph. A prominent communication protocol for this…
We investigate crossing path probabilities for two agents that move randomly in a bounded region of the plane or on a sphere (denoted $R$). At each discrete time-step the agents move, independently, fixed distances $d_1$ and $d_2$ at angles…
We define the following parameter of connected graphs. For a given graph $G$ we place one agent in each vertex of $G$. Every pair of agents sharing a common edge is declared to be acquainted. In each round we choose some matching of $G$…
In this paper we describe a decision process framework allowing an agent to decide what information it should reveal to its neighbours within a communication graph in order to maximise its utility. We assume that these neighbours can pass…
Here we consider the communications tactics appropriate for a group of agents that need to "swarm" together in a highly adversarial environment. Specfically, whilst they need to cooperate by exchanging information with each other about…
Given a known or unknown phase encoded in a higher-dimensional qudit gate, it is possible to send copies of a gate that encodes the phase to multiple receivers based on a generalized quantum teleportation. We extend this quantum gate…
A broadcast graph is a connected graph, $G=(V,E)$, $ |V |=n$, in which each vertex can complete broadcasting of one message within at most $t=\lceil \log n\rceil$ time units. A minimum broadcast graph on $n$ vertices is a broadcast graph…
In this report we show the emergent behavior of a group of agents, ordered from 1 to n, performing deviated, linear, cyclic pursuit, in the presence of a broadcast guidance control. Each agent senses the relative position of its target,…
Many processes of spreading and diffusion take place on temporal networks, and their outcomes are influenced by correlations in the times of contact. These correlations have a particularly strong influence on processes where the spreading…
This paper discusses a simple stochastic model for the spread of messages in a large population with two types of individuals: transmitters and receivers. Transmitters, after receiving the message, start spreading copies of the message to…
We model the transmission of information of a message on the Erd\"os-R\'eny random graph with parameters $(n,p)$ and limited resources. The vertices of the graph represent servers that may broadcast a message at random. Each server has a…
We study random linear network coding for broadcasting in time division duplexing channels. We assume a packet erasure channel with nodes that cannot transmit and receive information simultaneously. The sender transmits coded data packets…
We consider a population of $n$ agents which communicate with each other in a decentralized manner, through random pairwise interactions. One or more agents in the population may act as authoritative sources of information, and the…
The broadcast model is widely used to describe the process of information dissemination from a single node to all nodes within an interconnected network. In this model, a graph represents the network, where vertices correspond to nodes and…
We establish and generalise several bounds for various random walk quantities including the mixing time and the maximum hitting time. Unlike previous analyses, our derivations are based on rather intuitive notions of local expansion…
This paper studies the problem of broadcasting in synchronous point-to-point networks, where one initiator owns a piece of information that has to be transmitted to all other vertices as fast as possible. The model of fractional dynamic…
The asynchronous push&pull protocol, a randomized distributed algorithm for spreading a rumour in a graph $G$, works as follows. Independent Poisson clocks of rate 1 are associated with the vertices of $G$. Initially, one vertex of $G$…
We consider the problem of collective exploration of a known $n$-node edge-weighted graph by $k$ mobile agents that have limited energy but are capable of energy transfers. The agents are initially placed at an arbitrary subset of nodes in…
We revisit the classic broadcast problem, wherein we have $k$ messages, each composed of $O(\log{n})$ bits, distributed arbitrarily across a network. The objective is to broadcast these messages to all nodes in the network. In the…
