Abstract

This paper presents a uniform randomized self-stabilizing mutual exclusion algorithm for an anonymous unidirectional ring of any size n, running under an unfair distributed scheduler (d-daemon). The system is stabilized with probability 1 in O(n3) expected number of steps, and each process is privileged at least once in every 2n steps, once it is stabilized.
