We give an improved randomized CONGEST algorithm for distance-$2$ coloring that uses $\Delta^2+1$ colors and runs in $O(\log n)$ rounds, improving the recent $O(\log \Delta \cdot \log n)$-round algorithm in [Halld\'orsson, Kuhn, Maus; PODC…

The coloring problem (i.e., computing the chromatic number of a graph) can be solved in $O^*(2^n)$ time, as shown by Bj\"orklund, Husfeldt and Koivisto in 2009. For $k=3,4$, better algorithms are known for the $k$-coloring problem.…
