Abstract

In recent times, a considerable amount of work has been devoted to the development and analysis of gossip algorithms in Geometric Random Graphs. In a recently introduced model termed "Geographic Gossip," each node is aware of its position but possesses no further information. We develop a new protocol for Geographic Gossip, in which counter-intuitively, we use "non-convex affinecombinations" as updates in addition to convex combinations to accelerate the averaging process.
