Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2004 AbstractLet G be a simple connected graph where every node is colored either black or white. Consider now the following repetitive process on G: each node recolors itself, at each local time step, with the color held by the majority of its neighbors. Depending on the initial assignment of colors to the nodes and on the definition of majority, different

, 2012 Let $G$ be a graph and ${\mathcal{\tau}}: V(G)\rightarrow \Bbb{N}\cup \{0\}$ be an assignment of thresholds to the vertices of $G$. A subset of vertices $D$ is said to be a dynamic monopoly corresponding to $(G, \tau)$ if the vertices of $G$ can be ...
