In this paper we study the problem of fully dynamic maximal matching with lookahead. In a fully dynamic $n$-vertex graph setting, we have to handle updates (insertions and removals of edges), and answer queries regarding the current graph,…

Two of the most fundamental distributed symmetry-breaking problems are that of finding a maximal independent set (MIS) and a maximal matching (MM) in a graph. It is a major open question whether these problems can be solved in constant…

Maximum Independent Set (MIS for short) is in general graphs the paradigmatic $W[1]$-hard problem. In stark contrast, polynomial-time algorithms are known when the inputs are restricted to structured graph classes such as, for instance,…
