摘要:

解决一个基本的问题,在可编程的问题,我们提出了第一个确定性的算法,以选出一个独特的领导者在一个系统的连接变形虫假设只有变形虫最初合同。以前的算法要么使用随机化,做出各种假设(没有孔的形状,或者已知的共享手性),或者在某些情况下选出几个共同领导者。我们在构建算法中引入的一些构建块本身是有趣的,特别是我们提出的在变形虫之间达到共同手性的过程。考虑到前导选举和手性协议构建块,已知可以执行或改进可编程物质中的各种任务。新算法的主要思想是利用变形虫的移动能力,这是以前的领导者选举算法没有使用的。

英文摘要:

Addressing a fundamental problem in programmable matter, we present the first deterministic algorithm to elect a unique leader in a system of connected amoebots assuming only that amoebots are initially contracted. Previous algorithms either used randomization, made various assumptions (shapes with no holes, or known shared chirality), or elected several co-leaders in some cases. Some of the building blocks we introduce in constructing the algorithm are of interest by themselves, especially the procedure we present for reaching common chirality among the amoebots. Given the leader election and the chirality agreement building block, it is known that various tasks in programmable matter can be performed or improved. The main idea of the new algorithm is the usage of the ability of the amoebots to move, which previous leader election algorithms have not used.
