Edge flipping in the complete graph

Abstract: We consider the following random process on the complete graph: repeatedly draw edges (with replacement) and with probability p assign the vertices of the edge blue and with probability 1 − p assign the vertices of the edge red. This is a random walk on a state space of red/blue colorings of the complete graph and so has a stationary distribution. We derive this stationary distribution as well as answer some related questions.

“…This clearly holds for m = 0 when ≥ 0. Suppose next that it is valid for m = r − 1, and let us verify it for m = r. Via Lemma 3.1 and (18), we have Finally, we note that the following recursive formula for the stationary distribution of K m,n can be obtained by the inductive method in Theorem 2 of [BCCG15], which the authors used to identify the stationary distribution of the edge flipping on K n .…”

“…Stationary distributions for some graph classes are already studied in [CG12,BCCG15], but various other important classes remain to be considered. We also study the stationary behavior of a closely related process called vertex flipping, which is defined in the same paper [CG12].…”

“…This generating function describes the stationary distributions of a red/blue color-swapping algorithm on the complete graphs K r , where the coefficient of x r y s is proportional to the probability that s of the vertices of K r are blue in the stationary distribution, rescaled by a factor proportional to 2r−2 r . For more details, see [BCCG15]. Because each y term is attached to an x of equal or greater power, the power series expansion of F will have no terms where the power of y is larger than the power of x.…”

“…This process was implicitly used in a paper of Butler et al [2] for the complete graph, and explicitly introduced in a paper by Berikkyzy et al [1] where some basic properties were established and the probabilities for complete bipartite graphs were determined. We summarize these results here.…”
