Abstract
We consider the problem of spread of information among mobile agents on the torus. The agents are initially distributed as a Poisson point process on the torus, and move as independent simple random walks. Two agents can share information whenever they are at the same vertex of the torus. We study the so-called flooding time: the amount of time it takes for information to be known by all agents. We establish a tight upper bound on the flooding time, and introduce a technique which we believe can be applicable to analyze other processes involving mobile agents.
