Abstract EN
Leader election algorithms solve the instability problem in the network which is caused by leader failure.
In this paper, we propose a new leader election algorithm in two dimensional torus networks.
The algorithm aims to elect one node to be a new leader.
The new leader is identified by some characteristics not in the other nodes in the network.
When the process is terminated, the network is returned to a stable state with one node as leader where other nodes are aware of this leader.
The new algorithm solves this problem despite the existence of one link failure.
In a network of N nodes connected by two dimensional torus network, the new algorithm uses O (N) messages to elect a new leader in O (√N ) time steps.
These results are valid for both cases : simple case (when the leader failure is detected by one node) and in the worst case (when the failure is discovered by up to N-1 nodes).
