Abstract
We analyze the binary-state (either ℛ or ℬ) k-majority dynamics in a biased communication model where nodes have some fixed probability p, independent of the dynamics, of being seen in state ℬ by their neighbors. In this setting we study how p, as well as the initial unbalance between the two states, impact on the speed of convergence of the process, identifying sharp phase transitions.
