We study the broadcast version of the CONGEST CLIQUE model of distributed computing. In this model, in each round, any node in a network of size $n$ can send the same message (i.e. broadcast a message) of limited size to every other node in…

We study the distributed minimum spanning tree (MST) problem, a fundamental problem in distributed computing. It is well-known that distributed MST can be solved in $\tilde{O}(D+\sqrt{n})$ rounds in the standard CONGEST model (where $n$ is…

We provide the first asynchronous distributed algorithms to compute broadcast and minimum spanning tree with $o(m)$ bits of communication, in a graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges. For decades, it was believed that $\Omega(m)$ bits of…
