Abstract
We present a silent self-stabilizing distributed algorithm computing a maximal $\ p$-star decomposition of the underlying communication network. Under the unfair distributed scheduler, the most general scheduler model, the algorithm converges in at most $12\Delta m + \mathcal{O}(m+n)$ moves, where $m$ is the number of edges, $n$ is the number of nodes and $\Delta $ is the maximum node degree. Regarding the time complexity, we obtain the following results: our algorithm outperforms the previously known best algorithm by a factor of $\Delta $ with respect to the move complexity. While the round complexity for the previous algorithm was unknown, we show a $5\big \lfloor \frac{n}{p+1} \big \rfloor +5$ bound for our algorithm.
