We study the cover time of random geometric graphs. Let I(d) = [0, 1]d denote the unit torus in d dimensions. Let D(x, r) denote the ball (disc) of radius r. Let Υd be the volume...
We study the cover time of a random walk on the largest component of the random graph Gn,p. We determine its value up to a factor 1 + o(1) whenever np = c > 1, c = O(ln n). In ...
Synchronization is widely considered as an important service in distributed systems which may simplify protocol design. Phase clock is a general synchronization tool that provides ...
In recent years different authors have proposed the used of random-walk-based algorithms for varying tasks in the networking community. These proposals include searching, routing...
We study the cover time of multiple random walks. Given a graph G of n vertices, assume that k independent random walks start from the same vertex. The parameter of interest is the...
