Linear Iterative Strategies for Information Dissemination and Processing in Distributed Systems

Finally, we generalize existing theory on structured linear systems to encompass finite fields, and apply these results at various points in the thesis. Specifically, we show that certain structural properties of linear systems remain valid with high probability if the parameters are chosen from a finite field of sufficiently large size. In the process, we obtain new insights into structural properties of linear systems (such as an improved upper bound on the observability index in terms of the topology of the graph associated with the system).
