We develop an algorithmic framework for graph colouring that reduces the problem to verifying a local probabilistic property of the independent sets. With this we give, for any fixed $k\ge 3$ and $\varepsilon>0$, a randomised…

Graph coloring is fundamental to distributed computing. We give the first general treatment of the coloring of virtual graphs, where the graph $H$ to be colored is locally embedded within the communication graph $G$. Besides generalizing…

Consider the following random process: The vertices of a binomial random graph $G_{n,p}$ are revealed one by one, and at each step only the edges induced by the already revealed vertices are visible. Our goal is to assign to each vertex one…

The $\Delta$-vertex coloring problem has become one of the prototypical problems for understanding the complexity of local distributed graph problems on constant-degree graphs. The major open problem is whether the problem can be solved…

Consider the following simple coloring algorithm for a graph on $n$ vertices. Each vertex chooses a color from $\{1, \dotsc, \Delta(G) + 1\}$ uniformly at random. While there exists a conflicted vertex choose one such vertex uniformly at…

In the W-streaming model, an algorithm is given $O(n \mathrm{polylog} n)$ space and must process a large graph of up to $O(n^2)$ edges. In this short note we give two algorithms for edge colouring under the W-streaming model. For edge…

We give a randomized algorithm that properly colors the vertices of a triangle-free graph G on n vertices using O(\Delta(G)/ log \Delta(G)) colors, where \Delta(G) is the maximum degree of G. The algorithm takes O(n\Delta2(G)log\Delta(G))…

Vizing's celebrated theorem asserts that any graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ admits an edge coloring using at most $\Delta+1$ colors. In contrast, Bar-Noy, Naor and Motwani showed over a quarter century that the trivial greedy algorithm,…

In the semi-streaming model, an algorithm receives a stream of edges of a graph in arbitrary order and uses a memory of size $O(n \mbox{ polylog } n)$, where $n$ is the number of vertices of a graph. In this work, we present semi-streaming…
