We prove new bounds on the distributed fractional coloring problem in the LOCAL model. Fractional $c$-colorings can be understood as multicolorings as follows. For some natural numbers $p$ and $q$ such that $p/q\leq c$, each node $v$ is…
Massively-parallel graph algorithms have received extensive attention over the past decade, with research focusing on three memory regimes: the superlinear regime, the near-linear regime, and the sublinear regime. The sublinear regime is…
We present trade-offs in the incremental and fully dynamic settings to maintian a proper coloring. For any fully dynamic $2$-coloring algorithm, the maximum of the update time, number of recolorings, and query time is $\Omega(\log n)$. We…
With few exceptions (namely, algorithms for maximal matching, $2$-approximate vertex cover, and certain constant-stretch spanners), all known fully dynamic algorithms in general graphs require (amortized) $\Omega(\log n)$ update/query time.…
We study the Maximum Cardinality Matching (MCM) and the Maximum Weight Matching (MWM) problems, on trees and on some special classes of graphs, in the Online Preemptive and the Incremental Dynamic Graph models. In the {\em Online…
The {Congested Clique} is a distributed-computing model for single-hop networks with restricted bandwidth that has been very intensively studied recently. It models a network by an $n$-vertex graph in which any pair of vertices can…
We study the minimum spanning tree (MST) problem in the massively parallel computation (MPC) model. Our focus is particularly on the *strictly sublinear* regime of MPC where the space per machine is $O(n^\delta)$. Here $n$ is the number of…
We present a randomized distributed algorithm that computes a $\Delta$-coloring in any non-complete graph with maximum degree $\Delta \geq 4$ in $O(\log \Delta) + 2^{O(\sqrt{\log\log n})}$ rounds, as well as a randomized algorithm that…
We present a wait-free algorithm for proper coloring the n nodes of the asynchronous cycle $C_n$, where each crash-prone node starts with its (unique) identifier as input. The algorithm is independent of $n \geq 3$, and runs in…
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 address the convergence rate of Markov chains for randomly generating an edge coloring of a given tree. Our focus is on the Glauber dynamics which updates the color at a randomly chosen edge in each step. For a tree $T$ with $n$ vertices…
Motivated by recent progress on symmetry breaking problems such as maximal independent set (MIS) and maximal matching in the low-memory Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model (e.g., Behnezhad et al.~PODC 2019; Ghaffari-Uitto SODA 2019),…
We introduce a method for sparsifying distributed algorithms and exhibit how it leads to improvements that go past known barriers in two algorithmic settings of large-scale graph processing: Massively Parallel Computation (MPC), and Local…
We study the Weighted Min Cut problem in the Adaptive Massively Parallel Computation (AMPC) model. In 2019, Behnezhad et al. [3] introduced the AMPC model as an extension of the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model. In the past…
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 design new parallel algorithms for clustering in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. These algorithms run in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, and are fully scalable, meaning that the local memory in each machine may be…
We introduce the Adaptive Massively Parallel Computation (AMPC) model, which is an extension of the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model. At a high level, the AMPC model strengthens the MPC model by storing all messages sent within a…
We study the $(\Delta+1)$-edge-coloring problem in the parallel $\left(\mathrm{PRAM}\right)$ model of computation. The celebrated Vizing's theorem [Viz64] states that every simple graph $G = (V,E)$ can be properly $(\Delta+1)$-edge-colored.…
We study the problem of finding connected components in the Adaptive Massively Parallel Computation (AMPC) model. We show that when we require the total space to be linear in the size of the input graph the problem can be solved in…
We revisit asynchronous computing in networks of crash-prone processes, under the asynchronous variant of the standard LOCAL model, recently introduced by Fraigniaud et al. [DISC 2022]. We focus on the vertex coloring problem, and our…
