  • Abstract
    We address the problem of electing a leader in a synchronous complete network consisting of n nodes, each node has a unique ID. We give a message-optimal algorithm which runs in O(k) time using O(knα(k)) messages, where α(k)=1+(1/2k) and parameter k is a positive integer; in particular we get a constant time algorithm which uses O(n1+ε ) messages
