We show that the $(degree+1)$-list coloring problem can be solved deterministically in $O(D \cdot \log n \cdot\log^2\Delta)$ rounds in the \CONGEST model, where $D$ is the diameter of the graph, $n$ the number of nodes, and $\Delta$ the…

For any $\Delta$, let $k_\Delta$ be the maximum integer $k$ such that $(k+1)(k+2)\le \Delta$. We give a distributed \LOCAL algorithm that, given an integer $k < k_\Delta$, computes a valid $\Delta-k$-coloring if one exists. The algorithm…
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.…
