Limiting Behavior of Markov Chains with Eager Attractors
We consider discrete infinite-state Markov chains which contain an eager finite attractor. A finite attractor is a finite subset of states that is eventually reached with prob...

Performance Modelling of Peer-to-Peer Routing
We propose several models based on discrete-time Markov chains for the analysis of Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs). Specifically, we examine the Pastry routing protocol, as well a...

Communication constraints in the average consensus problem
The interrelationship between control and communication theory is becoming of fundamental importance in many distributed control systems, such as the coordination of a team of aut...
