Quasirandom rumor spreading

B Doerr, T Friedrich, T Sauerwald - arXiv preprint arXiv:1012.5351, 2010 - arxiv.org
We propose and analyze a quasirandom analogue of the classical push model for
disseminating information in networks (" randomized rumor spreading"). In the classical …

Polynomial time algorithm for arrival on tree-like multigraphs

D Auger, P Coucheney, L Duhaze - arXiv preprint arXiv:2204.13151, 2022 - arxiv.org
A rotor walk in a directed graph can be thought of as a deterministic version of a Markov
Chain, where a pebble moves from vertex to vertex following a simple rule until a terminal …

Parallel rotor walks on finite graphs and applications in discrete load balancing

H Akbari, P Berenbrink - Proceedings of the twenty-fifth annual ACM …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
We study the parallel rotor walk process, which works as follows: Consider a graph along
with an arbitrary distribution of tokens over its nodes. Every node is equipped with a rotor …

[HTML][HTML] Bounds on the cover time of parallel rotor walks

D Dereniowski, A Kosowski, D Pająk… - Journal of Computer and …, 2016 - Elsevier
The rotor-router mechanism was introduced as a deterministic alternative to the random
walk in undirected graphs. In this model, a set of k identical walkers is deployed in parallel …

Deterministic self-adjusting tree networks using rotor walks

C Avin, M Bienkowski, I Salem, R Sama… - 2022 IEEE 42nd …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We revisit the design of self-adjusting single-source tree networks. The problem can be seen
as a generalization of the classic list update problem to trees, and finds applications in …

[HTML][HTML] Does adding more agents make a difference? A case study of cover time for the rotor-router

A Kosowski, D Pająk - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 2019 - Elsevier
We study the cover time of multiple walks in a graph following the rotor-router mechanism.
This mechanism can be seen as a derandomization of multiple random walks, in which …

Improved analysis of deterministic load-balancing schemes

P Berenbrink, R Klasing, A Kosowski… - ACM Transactions on …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
We consider the problem of deterministic load balancing of tokens in the discrete model. A
set of n processors is connected into ad-regular undirected network. In every timestep, each …

Quasirandom rumor spreading

B Doerr, T Friedrich, T Sauerwald - ACM Transactions on Algorithms …, 2014 - dl.acm.org
We propose and analyze a quasirandom analogue of the classical push model for
disseminating information in networks (“randomized rumor spreading”). In the classical …

Deterministic random walks on finite graphs

S Kijima, K Koga, K Makino - Random Structures & Algorithms, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The rotor‐router model, also known as the Propp machine, is a deterministic process
analogous to a random walk on a graph. Instead of distributing tokens to randomly chosen …

Fast simulation of large‐scale growth models

T Friedrich, L Levine - Random Structures & Algorithms, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We give an algorithm that computes the final state of certain growth models without
computing all intermediate states. Our technique is based on a “least action principle” which …
