This paper puts forward an algorithm that computes the diffusion of events and actions across networks of economic agents, an algorithm that is applicable when such networks can be represented as weighted directed graphs. The functioning of the algorithm is shown in three applications. First, the al

โฆ Synopsis
The main theme is the distribution of polynomials of given degree which split into a product of linear factors over a finite field. The work was motivated by the following problem on regular directed graphs. Extending a notion of Chung, Katz has defined a regular directed graph based on the k-algebra k[X]/( f ), where k is the finite field of order q and f a monic polynomial of degree n over k. It is shown that the diameter of this graph is at most n#2 whenever q5B(n)"[n(n#2)!]. This improves on the work of Katz who gave a similar result for square-free polynomials f without specifying B(n).

In this paper, we investigate a probabilistic local majority polling game on weighted directed graphs, keeping an application to the distributed agreement problem in mind. We formulate the game as a Markov chain, where an absorbing state corresponds to a system configuration that an agreement is ach
Koenig's theorem is a well-known basis for fast splitting a polynomial into factors over a fixed disc in the complex plane. We simplify the computation of such factors by means of its reduction to solving a banded triangular Toeplitz linear system of equations. The technique used may be of some inte
