Abstract

In computer networks, participants may cooperate in processing tasks, balancing working loads among them. The distributed load balancing problem is well-known. We present local algorithms solving it based on a short deal-agreement communication. Unlike the previous algorithms, they converge monotonically, always providing a better feasible state as the execution progresses. Our synchronous algorithms achieve ϵ-Balanced state for the continuous setting in time O(nDlog (nK/ ϵ) ) and 1-Balanced state for the discrete setting in time O(nDlog (nK/ D) + nD2), for general graphs in the worst case, where n is the number of nodes, K is the initial discrepancy, and D is the graph diameter. We also suggest an asynchronous load balancing algorithm solving the problem in time O(nK2) for general graphs, and its self-stabilizing version.
