Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The topic of this project were spreading processes on graphs motivated by real world phenomena or by problems coming from other theoretical areas. We studied dynamic monopolies in networks whose vertices have degree dependent susceptibilities, efficient ways to cover an entire graph by a spreading process of unit speed for which the seed vertices are chosen one by one in discrete rounds, and the formation of the convex hull within the geodetic con vexity on graphs. We contributed new insights into so-called zero forcing, which was originally motivated by matrix theory/linear algebra. Finally, inspired by deadlock prevention techniques from distributed computing, we introduced and studied generalized threshold processes on graphs.
