A path in an edge-colored graph is called a \emph{rainbow path} if all edges on it have pairwise distinct colors. For $k\geq 1$, the \emph{rainbow-$k$-connectivity} of a graph $G$, denoted $rc_k(G)$, is the minimum number of colors required…
Irregular computations on unstructured data are an important class of problems for parallel programming. Graph coloring is often an important preprocessing step, e.g. as a way to perform dependency analysis for safe parallel execution. The…
This paper shows a polynomial-time algorithm, that given a general matroid $M_1 = (X, \mathcal{I}_1)$ and $k-1$ partition matroids $ M_2, \ldots, M_k$, produces a coloring of the intersection $M = \cap_{i=1}^k M_i$ using at most…

One of the main hypotheses in fine-grained complexity is that All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) for $n$-node graphs requires $n^{3-o(1)}$ time. Another famous hypothesis is that the $3$SUM problem for $n$ integers requires $n^{2-o(1)}$ time.…
Graph sparsification is a powerful tool to approximate an arbitrary graph and has been used in machine learning over homogeneous graphs. In heterogeneous graphs such as knowledge graphs, however, sparsification has not been systematically…

In a connected simple graph G = (V(G),E(G)), each vertex is assigned a color from the set of colors C={1, 2,..., c}. The set of vertices V(G) is partitioned as V_1, V_2, ... ,V_c, where all vertices in V_j share the same color j. A subset S…

Graph coloring problems are a central topic of study in the theory of algorithms. We study the problem of partially coloring partially colorable graphs. For $\alpha \leq 1$ and $k \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, we say that a graph $G=(V,E)$ is…
The Rainbow k-Coloring problem asks whether the edges of a given graph can be colored in $k$ colors so that every pair of vertices is connected by a rainbow path, i.e., a path with all edges of different colors. Our main result states that…
In this paper, we initiate the study of the vertex coloring problem of a graph in the semi streaming model. In this model, the input graph is defined by a stream of edges, arriving in adversarial order and any algorithm must process the…

We introduce a variant of the graph coloring problem, which we denote as {\sc Budgeted Coloring Problem} (\bcp). Given a graph $G$, an integer $c$ and an ordered list of integers $\{b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_c\}$, \bcp asks whether there exists a…
