Stopping time of a Markov chain

I think I did manage to get something useful in five phases. With high probability, 1) $A=1$ to $A\in(\frac{n}{6},\frac{2n}{3})$ in $\log_2{n}\pm 1$ rounds, 2) $A=an$ to $A=dn$ for some $0< d <<1$ i …

Stopping time of a Markov chain

Let $A(t+1)=A(t)+Bin(n-A(t),\frac{A(t)}{n})$ with $A(0)=1$ and let $T_n$ be the minimum of $t$ such that $A(t)=n$. I think that $A(t)$ should behave like the naive deterministic approximation $a(t+1) …
