Abstract

We study majority dynamics on the binomial random graph G(n, p) with p = d/n and d > λn1/2, for some large λ > 0. In this process, each vertex has a state in {-1,+1} and at each round every vertex adopts the state of the majority of its neighbours, retaining its state in the case of a tie. We show that with high probability the process reaches unanimity in at most four rounds. This confirms a conjecture of Benjamini, Chan, O' Donnel, Tamuz and Tan.
