Self-stabilizing repeated balls-into-bins
We study the following synchronous process that we call repeated balls-into-bins. The process is started by assigning n balls to n bins in an arbitrary fashion. In every subsequent round, one ball is extracted from each non-empty bin according to some fixed strategy (random, FIFO, etc), and re-assigned to one of the n bins uniformly at random. We define a configuration legitimate if its maximum load is (Formula presented.).
