Impossibility of distributed algorithms for TP under limited communication constraints
Impossibility of distributed algorithms for TP under limited communication constraints
Let be a sequence of communication graphs satisfying the communication constraints specified in Lemma 2, Theorem 2, or Theorem 3, and let TP denote the task defined in Definition 4. The sequence after is otherwise unrestricted.
Impossibility claim. Given these communication constraints, there exists no distributed algorithm that can solve TP without further conditions on the sequence of communication graphs after .
This claim expresses an impossibility result for information dissemination under the stated time-varying digraph constraints. The supplied text does not provide a resolution status beyond the assertion itself, so its status is left open.
