A graph $G$ is called interval colorable if it has a proper edge coloring with colors $1,2,3,\dots$ such that the colors of the edges incident to every vertex of $G$ form an interval of integers. Not all graphs are interval colorable; in…

We study the edge-colouring problem, and give efficient algorithms where the number of colours is parameterised by the graph's arboricity, $\alpha$. In a dynamic graph, subject to insertions and deletions, we give a deterministic algorithm…

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…

An \emph{interval $t$-coloring} of a graph $G$ is a proper edge-coloring with colors $1,\dots,t$ such that the colors on the edges incident to every vertex of $G$ are colored by consecutive colors. A graph $G$ is called \emph{interval…

We study the online graph coloring problem restricted to the intersection graphs of intervals with lengths in $[1,\sigma]$. For $\sigma=1$ it is the class of unit interval graphs, and for $\sigma=\infty$ the class of all interval graphs.…

We consider the discrepancy problem of coloring $n$ intervals with $k$ colors such that at each point on the line, the maximal difference between the number of intervals of any two colors is minimal. Somewhat surprisingly, a coloring with…

The problem of edge coloring has been extensively studied over the years. Recently, this problem has received significant attention in the dynamic setting, where we are given a dynamic graph evolving via a sequence of edge insertions and…

We consider the problem of maintaining a $(1+\epsilon)\Delta$-edge coloring in a dynamic graph $G$ with $n$ nodes and maximum degree at most $\Delta$. The state-of-the-art update time is $O_\epsilon(\text{polylog}(n))$, by Duan, He and…

Over the years, there has been extensive work on fully dynamic algorithms for classic graph problems that admit greedy solutions. Examples include $(\Delta+1)$ vertex coloring, maximal independent set, and maximal matching. For all three…

The present paper studies local distributed graph problems in highly dynamic networks. Communication and changes of the graph happen in synchronous rounds and our algorithms always, i.e., in every round, satisfy non-trivial guarantees, no…

In the \emph{dynamic edge coloring} problem, one has to maintain a graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ with at most $\Delta+c$ colors, given updates to the edges of the graph. An important objective is to minimize the \emph{recourse}, which is…

Given a large graph, the densest-subgraph problem asks to find a subgraph with maximum average degree. When considering the top-$k$ version of this problem, a na\"ive solution is to iteratively find the densest subgraph and remove it in…

We study the problem of online graph coloring for $k$-colorable graphs. The best previously known deterministic algorithm uses $\widetilde{O}(n^{1-\frac{1}{k!}})$ colors for general $k$ and $\widetilde{O}(n^{5/6})$ colors for $k = 4$, both…
