Abstract

Motivated by the study of the deterministic local majority polling game by Peleg et al., this paper investigates a repetitive proba- bilistic local majority polling game on a finite connected graph by for- mulating it as a Markov chain. We mainly investigate the probability that the system reaches a given absorbing state and characterize when the probability attains the maximum (and minimum).
