Network analysis has played a key role in knowledge discovery and data mining. In many real-world applications in recent years, we are interested in mining multilayer networks, where we have a number of edge sets called layers, which encode…
Given an underlying graph, we consider the following \emph{dynamics}: Initially, each node locally chooses a value in $\{-1,1\}$, uniformly at random and independently of other nodes. Then, in each consecutive round, every node updates its…
Distributed peer-to-peer systems are widely popular due to their decentralized nature, which ensures that no peer is critical for the functionality of the system. However, fully decentralized solutions are usually much harder to design, and…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a $\beta$-ruling set is a subset $S\subseteq V$ that is i) independent, and ii) every node $v\in V$ has a node of $S$ within distance $\beta$. In this paper we present almost optimal distributed algorithms for…

We present a universally-optimal distributed algorithm for the exact weighted min-cut. The algorithm is guaranteed to complete in $\widetilde{O}(D + \sqrt{n})$ rounds on every graph, recovering the recent result of Dory, Efron,…
Finding a maximum cut is a fundamental task in many computational settings. Surprisingly, it has been insufficiently studied in the classic distributed settings, where vertices communicate by synchronously sending messages to their…
