Abstract

Given a graph G of n vertices, where each vertex is initially attached an opinion of either red or blue. We investigate a random process known as the Best-of-three voting. In this process, at each time step, every vertex chooses three neighbours at random and adopts the majority colour. We study this process for a class of graphs with minimum degree d=nα,, where α=Ω((loglogn)−1). We prove that if initially each vertex is red with probability greater than 1/2+δ, and blue otherwise, where δ≥(logd)C for some C>0, then with high probability this dynamic reaches a final state where all vertices are red within O(loglogn)+O(log(δ−1)) steps.
