Abstract

A distributed system is self-stabilizing if, regardless of the initial state, the system is guaranteed to reach a legitimate (correct) state in finite time. In 2007, Turau proposed the first linear-time self-stabilizing algorithm for the minimal dominating set (MDS) problem under an unfair distributed daemon [6]; this algorithm stabilizes in at most 9n moves, where n is the number of nodes. In 2008, Goddard et al. [2] proposed a 5n-move algorithm. In this paper, we present a 4n-move algorithm. We also prove that if an MDS-silent algorithm is preferred, then distance-1 knowledge is insufficient, where a self-stabilizing MDS algorithm is MDS-silent if it will not make any move when the starting configuration of the system is already an MDS.
