We study the multi-broadcast problem in multi-hop wireless networks under the SINR model deployed in the 2D Euclidean plane. In multi-broadcast, there are $k$ initial rumours, potentially belonging to different nodes, that must be forwarded…

In wireless networks, consisting of battery-powered devices, energy is a costly resource and most of it is spent on transmitting and receiving messages. Broadcast is a problem where a message needs to be transmitted from one node to all…

In the Telephone Broadcast problem we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with a designated source vertex $s\in V$. Our goal is to transmit a message, which is initially known only to $s$, to all vertices of the graph by using a process where in…

We consider the distributed learning problem where a network of $n$ agents seeks to minimize a global function $F$. Agents have access to $F$ through noisy gradients, and they can locally communicate with their neighbors a network. We study…

This paper presents a distributed algorithm on wireless ad-hoc networks that runs in polylogarithmic number of rounds in the size of the network and constructs a linear size, lightweight, (1+\epsilon)-spanner for any given \epsilon > 0. A…

We prove new bounds on the quantum communication complexity of the disjointness and equality problems. For the case of exact and non-deterministic protocols we show that these complexities are all equal to n+1, the previous best lower bound…

This paper studies lower bounds for fundamental optimization problems in the CONGEST model. We show that solving problems exactly in this model can be a hard task, by providing $\tilde{\Omega}(n^2)$ lower bounds for cornerstone problems,…

Linial's seminal result shows that any deterministic distributed algorithm that finds a $3$-colouring of an $n$-cycle requires at least $\log^*(n)/2 - 1$ communication rounds. We give a new simpler proof of this theorem.

The interference at a wireless node s can be modelled by the number of wireless nodes whose transmission ranges cover s. Given a set of positions for wireless nodes, the interference minimization problem is to assign a transmission radius…

We revisit the complexity of online computation in the cell probe model. We consider a class of problems where we are first given a fixed pattern or vector $F$ of $n$ symbols and then one symbol arrives at a time in a stream. After each…

In this work we study the metric distortion problem in voting theory under a limited amount of ordinal information. Our primary contribution is threefold. First, we consider mechanisms which perform a sequence of pairwise comparisons…

We consider the local broadcasting problem in the SINR model, which is a basic primitive for gathering initial information among $n$ wireless nodes. Assuming that nodes can measure received power, we achieve an essentially optimal constant…

We consider distributed average consensus in a wireless network with partial communication to reduce the number of transmissions in every iteration/round. Considering the broadcast nature of wireless channels, we propose a probabilistic…

Let G = (V,E) be an n-vertex graph and M_d a d-vertex graph, for some constant d. Is M_d a subgraph of G? We consider this problem in a model where all n processes are connected to all other processes, and each message contains up to O(log…
