摘要
This paper introduces the notion of veto number that can be associated with agreement problems. An agreement problem has veto number l when l is the minimal number of processes that control the allowed decision values, i.e., if each of them changes its mind on the value it proposes, then it forces deciding on a different value. The paper presents and investigates this concept.
