A $t$-ruling set of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is a vertex-subset $S \subseteq V$ that is independent and satisfies the property that every vertex $v \in V$ is at a distance of at most $t$ from some vertex in $S$. A \textit{maximal independent…
Motivated by recent progress on symmetry breaking problems such as maximal independent set (MIS) and maximal matching in the low-memory Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model (e.g., Behnezhad et al.~PODC 2019; Ghaffari-Uitto SODA 2019),…

We consider the ``minimum degree spanning tree'' problem. As input, we receive an undirected, connected graph $G=(V, E)$ with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges, and our task is to find a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ that minimizes $\max_{u \in V}…
