Graph colouring is a fundamental problem for networks, serving as a tool for avoiding conflicts via symmetry breaking, for example, avoiding multiple computer processes simultaneously updating the same resource. This paper considers a…
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…
We give improved algorithms for maintaining edge-orientations of a fully-dynamic graph, such that the out-degree of each vertex is bounded. On one hand, we show how to orient the edges such that the out-degree of each vertex is proportional…
We present a deterministic distributed algorithm that computes a $(2\Delta-1)$-edge-coloring, or even list-edge-coloring, in any $n$-node graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, in $O(\log^7 \Delta \log n)$ rounds. This answers one of the…
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…
Consider an n-vertex graph G = (V,E) of maximum degree Delta, and suppose that each vertex v \in V hosts a processor. The processors are allowed to communicate only with their neighbors in G. The communication is synchronous, i.e., it…

We consider the dynamic graph coloring problem restricted to the class of interval graphs. At each update step the algorithm is presented with an interval to be colored, or a previously colored interval to delete. The goal of the algorithm…
Given a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and maximum degree $\Delta$, it is known that $G$ admits a vertex coloring with $\Delta + 1$ colors such that no edge of $G$ is monochromatic. This can be seen constructively by a simple greedy algorithm,…
Brooks' theorem states that all connected graphs but odd cycles and cliques can be colored with $\Delta$ colors, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of the graph. Such colorings have been shown to admit non-trivial distributed algorithms…
