Let $\Delta(G)$ and $\chi'(G)$ be the maximum degree and chromatic index of a graph $G$, respectively. Appearing in different forms, Gupta\,(1967), Goldberg\,(1973), Andersen\,(1977), and Seymour\,(1979) made the following conjecture: Every…
Vizing's theorem states that any $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ can be {\em edge colored} using at most $\Delta + 1$ different colors [Diskret.~Analiz, '64]. Vizing's original proof is algorithmic and shows that such…
We give an online algorithm that with high probability computes a $\left(\frac{e}{e-1} + o(1)\right)\Delta$ edge coloring on a graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta = \omega(\log n)$ under online edge arrivals against oblivious adversaries,…
A local algorithm is a distributed algorithm that completes after a constant number of synchronous communication rounds. We present local approximation algorithms for the minimum dominating set problem and the maximum matching problem in…
As the main contribution of this work we present deterministic edge coloring algorithms in the CONGEST model. In particular, we present an algorithm that edge colors any $n$-node graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ with with…
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…
We study the problem of coloring a given graph using a small number of colors in several well-established models of computation for big data. These include the data streaming model, the general graph query model, the massively parallel…
A seminal palette sparsification result of Assadi, Chen, and Khanna states that in every $n$-vertex graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, sampling $\Theta(\log n)$ colors per vertex from $\{1, \ldots, \Delta+1\}$ almost certainly allows for a…
A proper edge colouring of a graph is adjacent vertex distinguishing if no two adjacent vertices see the same set of colours. Using a clever application of the Local Lemma, Hatami (2005) proved that every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$…
For edge coloring, the online and the W-streaming models seem somewhat orthogonal: the former needs edges to be assigned colors immediately after insertion, typically without any space restrictions, while the latter limits memory to…
In distributed network computing, a variant of the LOCAL model has been recently introduced, referred to as the SLEEPING model. In this model, nodes have the ability to decide on which round they are awake, and on which round they are…
Differential Privacy is the gold standard in privacy-preserving data analysis. This paper addresses the challenge of producing a differentially edge-private vertex coloring. In this paper, we present two novel algorithms to approach this…
We consider the problem of coloring graphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ with $\Delta$ colors in the distributed setting with limited bandwidth. Specifically, we give a $\mathsf{poly}\log\log n$-round randomized algorithm in the CONGEST model.…
In 1970 Hajnal and Szemer\'edi proved a conjecture of Erd\"os that for a graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, there exists an equitable $\Delta+1$ coloring; that is a coloring where color class sizes differ by at most $1$. In 2007 Kierstand…
Given a dynamic graph subject to edge insertions and deletions, we show how to update an implicit representation of a proper vertex colouring, such that colours of vertices are computable upon query time. We give a deterministic algorithm…
We study online bipartite edge coloring, with nodes on one side of the graph revealed sequentially. The trivial greedy algorithm is $(2-o(1))$-competitive, which is optimal for graphs of low maximum degree, $\Delta=O(\log n)$ [BNMN IPL'92].…
A distributed algorithm is self-stabilizing if after faults and attacks hit the system and place it in some arbitrary global state, the systems recovers from this catastrophic situation without external intervention in finite time.…
Nearly thirty years ago, Bar-Noy, Motwani and Naor [IPL'92] conjectured that an online $(1+o(1))\Delta$-edge-coloring algorithm exists for $n$-node graphs of maximum degree $\Delta=\omega(\log n)$. This conjecture remains open in general,…
Vizing's theorem states that any $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ can be edge colored using at most $\Delta + 1$ different colors. Vizing's original proof is easily translated into a deterministic $O(mn)$ time algorithm.…
We present new randomized algorithms that improve the complexity of the classic $(\Delta+1)$-coloring problem, and its generalization $(\Delta+1)$-list-coloring, in three well-studied models of distributed, parallel, and centralized…
