Crossing a flat middle range (Lemma 19) #
If every uninformed node is informed with probability at least p while the number of
informed nodes lies in [ℓ, m), the tail P[T(ℓ, m) > r] is at most the Markov bound on the
expected number of uninformed nodes. The potential is gap m, equal to n - |S| below m
and to 0 at and above m. Monotonicity keeps the chain inside {|S| ≥ ℓ}, so there is no
dummy process.
