Dynamic Monopolies of Constant Size

چکیده

This paper deals with a polling game on a graph. Initially, each vertex is colored white or black. At each round, each vertex is colored by the color shared by the majority of vertices in its neighborhood. (All recolorings are done simultaneously). We say that a set W0 of vertices is a dynamic monopoly or dynamo if starting the game with the vertices ofW0 colored white, the entire system is white after a finite number of rounds. Peleg [1] asked how small a dynamic monopoly may be as a function of the number of vertices. I show that the answer is O(1).

On dynamic monopolies of graphs with general thresholds

Let G be a graph and τ : V (G) → N be an assignment of thresholds to the vertices ofG. A subset of verticesD is said to be dynamic monopoly (or simply dynamo) if the vertices of G can be partitioned into subsets D0,D1, . . . ,Dk such that D0 = D and for any i = 1, . . . , k − 1 each vertex v in Di+1 has at least t(v) neighbors in D0∪ . . .∪Di. Dynamic monopolies are in fact modeling the irrever...

Generalized degeneracy, dynamic monopolies and maximum degenerate subgraphs

A graph G is said to be a k-degenerate graph if any subgraph of G contains a vertex of degree at most k. Let κ be any non-negative function on the vertex set of G. We first define a κ-degenerate graph. Next we give an efficient algorithm to determine whether a graph is κ-degenerate. We revisit the concept of dynamic monopolies in graphs. The latter notion is used in formulation and analysis of ...

Dynamic monopolies in directed graphs: the spread of unilateral influence in social networks

Irreversible dynamic monopolies were already defined and widely studied in the literature for undirected graphs. They are arising from formulation of the irreversible spread of influence such as disease, opinion, adaptation of a new product, etc., in social networks, where the influence between any two individuals is assumed to be bilateral or reciprocal. But in many phenomena, the influence in...

Remarks on dynamic monopolies with given average thresholds

Dynamic monopolies in graphs have been studied as a model for spreading processes within networks. Together with their dual notion, the generalized degenerate sets, they form the immediate generalization of the classical notions of vertex covers and independent sets in a graph. We present results concerning dynamic monopolies in graphs of given average threshold values extending and generalizin...

On dynamic monopolies of graphs: the average and strict majority thresholds

Let G be a graph and τ : V (G) → N ∪ {0} be an assignment of thresholds to the vertices of G. A subset of vertices D is said to be a dynamic monopoly corresponding to (G, τ) if the vertices of G can be partitioned into subsets D0,D1, . . . ,Dk such that D0 = D and for any i ∈ {0, . . . , k − 1}, each vertex v in Di+1 has at least τ(v) neighbors in D0 ∪ . . . ∪Di. Dynamic monopolies are in fact ...
