Abstract

En 中文
We present a comprehensive analysis of Round-Asynchronous Amnesiac Flooding (RAAF), a variant of Amnesiac Flooding that introduces round-based asynchrony through adversarial delays. We establish fundamental properties of RAAF, including termination characteristics for different graph types and decidability results under various adversarial models. Our key contributions include: (1) a formal model of RAAF incorporating round-based asynchrony, (2) a proof that flooding always terminates on acyclic graphs despite adversarial delays, (3) a construction showing non-termination is possible on any cyclic graph, (4) a demonstration that termination is undecidable with arbitrary computable adversaries, and (5) the introduction of Eventually Periodic Adversaries (EPA) under which termination becomes decidable. These results enhance our understanding of flooding processes in asynchronous settings and provide insights for designing robust distributed protocols.
