In this process, each vertex has a state in $\\{-1,+1 \\}$ and at each round every vertex adopts the state of the majority of its neighbours, retaining its state in the case of a tie. We show that with high probability the process reaches unanimity in at most four rounds. This confirms a conjecture of Benjamini, Chan, O' Donnel, Tamuz and Tan.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-13T19:48:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C80" ], "keywords": [ "dense random graphs", "rapid stabilisation", "conjecture", "resolution", "binomial random graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
