We consider graph coloring and related problems in the distributed message-passing model. {Locally-iterative algorithms} are especially important in this setting. These are algorithms in which each vertex decides about its next color only…

Recoloring a graph is about finding a sequence of proper colorings of this graph from an initial coloring $\sigma$ to a target coloring $\eta$. Adding the constraint that each pair of consecutive colorings must differ on exactly one vertex,…

Vizing's theorem guarantees that every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ admits an edge coloring using $\Delta + 1$ colors. In online settings - where edges arrive one at a time and must be colored immediately - a simple greedy algorithm…

We present a deterministic distributed algorithm in the LOCAL model that finds a proper $(\Delta + 1)$-edge-coloring of an $n$-vertex graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ in $\mathrm{poly}(\Delta, \log n)$ rounds. This is the first nontrivial…
