Here we analyse the so-called cover time of the process. The second algorithm comes from the area of game theory. The task of the selfish agents is to distribute their tasks over a set of servers. The goal of every agent is to allocate his own task to a server with minimum load. The last process is a so-called voting process which spreads opinions in a network.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, email <a href=\"mailto:benjamin.tremblay@student.ufv.ca\">benjamin.tremblay@student.ufv.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2015\/03\/MathTalk_Mar19.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1932\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2015\/03\/MathTalk_Mar19.png\" alt=\"MathTalk_Mar19\" width=\"616\" height=\"958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2015\/03\/MathTalk_Mar19.png 616w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2015\/03\/MathTalk_Mar19-193x300.png 193w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2015\/03\/MathTalk_Mar19-96x150.png 96w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2015\/03\/MathTalk_Mar19-129x200.png 129w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analysis of Randomized Algorithms: A talk by Petra Berenbrink, Associate Professor of Computing Science at SFU Thursday, March 19 2:30 &#8211; 4:00 pm A310 on the Abbotsford UFV campus Dr. Petra Berenbrink will present several randomized graph-based algorithms.\u00a0The first algorithm is a random walk process on a graph.
