Is the consensus number of SetAgree(3, 2) 2 or 1 (proof needed)?
We can prove that 2-set-consensus among 3 processors (noted (3,2)) cannot be used (together with registers) to solve consensus among 2 processors (noted (2,1)) using the Borowsky-Gafni simulation (BG simulation … Therefore, the BG simulation transforms an algorithm A solving consensus among 2 processors using (3,2) into an algorithm B solving consensus among 3 processors using registers only. …

Why is the consensus number for test-and-set, 2?
using 2-processors consensus one obtains an implementation of 3-processors consensus using 2-processors consensus, which is impossible. … Thus test-and-set cannot solve 3-processors consensus. …

a question related to consensus number of a concurrent object
Consensus is unsolvable in an asynchronous shared-memory or message-passing system of n>1 processes out of which at least one can fail. … Otherwise, you could implement consensus for 2 processes, which would contradict the impossibility. …

Guaranteed existence of a blocking set in the accept definition of Stellar
What is guaranteed is that if a quorum of an intact nodes accepts a statement s, then eventually every intact node v will find itself v-blocked by a set of nodes that has accepted s, i.e. "accept s" c …
