Locally Checkable Labeling (LCL) problems include essentially all the classic problems of $\mathsf{LOCAL}$ distributed algorithms. In a recent enlightening revelation, Chang and Pettie [arXiv 1704.06297] showed that any LCL (on bounded…

In this work, we study the Lov\'asz local lemma (LLL) problem in the area of distributed quantum computing, which has been the focus of attention of recent advances in quantum computing [STOC'24, STOC'25, STOC'25]. We prove a lower bound of…

We consider the task of designing Local Computation Algorithms (LCA) for applications of the Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL). LCA is a class of sublinear algorithms proposed by Rubinfeld et al.~\cite{Ronitt} that have received a lot of…

We present a randomized Local Computation Algorithm (LCA) with query complexity $poly(\Delta) \cdot \log n$ for the Maximal Independent Set (MIS) problem. That is, the algorithm determines whether each node is in the computed MIS or not…

In the model of \emph{local computation algorithms} (LCAs), we aim to compute the queried part of the output by examining only a small (sublinear) portion of the input. Many recently developed LCAs on graph problems achieve time and space…

The Local Computation Algorithms (LCA) model is a computational model aimed at problem instances with huge inputs and output. For graph problems, the input graph is accessed using probes: strong probes (SP) specify a vertex $v$ and receive…

Recently, Brandt, Maus and Uitto [PODC'19] showed that, in a restricted setting, the dependency of the complexity of the distributed Lov\'asz Local Lemma (LLL) on the chosen LLL criterion exhibits a sharp threshold phenomenon: They proved…
