In the\r\napproximate agreement task, each processor i receives an input value xi and has to decide on an\r\noutput value yi such that\r\n1. the output values are in the convex hull of the non-faulty processors’ input values,\r\n2. the output values are within distance d of each other.\r\n\r\n\r\nClassically, the values are assumed to be from an m-dimensional Euclidean space, where m ≥ 1.\r\nIn this work, we study the task in a discrete setting, where input values with some structure\r\nexpressible as a graph. Namely, the input values are vertices of a finite graph G and the goal is to\r\noutput vertices that are within distance d of each other in G, but still remain in the graph-induced\r\nconvex hull of the input values. For d = 0, the task reduces to consensus and cannot be solved with\r\na deterministic algorithm in an asynchronous system even with a single crash fault. For any d ≥ 1,\r\nwe show that the task is solvable in asynchronous systems when G is chordal and n > (ω + 1)f,\r\nwhere ω is the clique number of G. In addition, we give the first Byzantine-tolerant algorithm for a\r\nvariant of lattice agreement. For synchronous systems, we show tight resilience bounds for the exact\r\nvariants of these and related tasks over a large class of combinatorial structures."}],"department":[{"_id":"DaAl"}],"publication_status":"published","date_published":"2019-01-01T00:00:00Z","year":"2019","volume":146,"intvolume":"       146","project":[{"grant_number":"754411","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"ddc":["004"],"keyword":["consensus","approximate agreement","Byzantine faults","chordal graphs","lattice agreement"],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:44Z","publication_identifier":{"eisbn":["978-3-95977-126-9"]},"external_id":{"arxiv":["1908.02743"]},"has_accepted_license":"1","publication":"33rd International Symposium on Distributed Computing","author":[{"full_name":"Nowak, Thomas","first_name":"Thomas","last_name":"Nowak"},{"id":"334EFD2E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Rybicki, Joel","first_name":"Joel","last_name":"Rybicki","orcid":"0000-0002-6432-6646"}],"doi":"10.4230/LIPICS.DISC.2019.29","page":"29:1--29:17","_id":"6931","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"short":"T.
