Abstract

Given a graph GGG of nnn 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=nαd = n^{\alpha}d=nα\,, where α=Ω((log⁡log⁡n)−1)\alpha = \Omega\left( (\log \log n)^{-1} \right)α=Ω((loglogn)−1). We prove that if initially each vertex is red with probability greater than 1/2+δ1/2+\delta1/2+δ, and blue otherwise, where δ≥(log⁡d)−C\delta \geq (\log d)^{-C}δ≥(logd)−C for some C>0C>0C>0, then with high probability this dynamic reaches a final state where all vertices are red within O(log⁡log⁡n)+O(log⁡(δ−1))O\left( \log \log n\right) + O\left( \log \left( \delta^{-1} \right) \right)O(loglogn)+O(log(δ−1)) steps.
