Messages on Networks as a Many-Body Problem
Abstract
Description
In this paper we initiate an approach that deals with the problem of calculating average properties of messages traveling on networks, by employing concepts and methods that are used for the study of the many-body problem in the field of physics. We set up a framework that simplifies enormously the problem and, through a concrete example, we show how it can be applied to a broad class of networks and protocols.
