Lower Bounds for Randomized Consensus under a Weak Adversary

This paper studies the inherent trade-off between termination probability and total step complexity of randomized consensus algorithms. It shows that for every integer $k$, the probability that an $f$-resilient randomized consensus algorithm of $n$ processes does not terminate with agreement within...
