Graph learning is often a necessary step in processing or representing structured data, when the underlying graph is not given explicitly. Graph learning is generally performed centrally with a full knowledge of the graph signals, namely…
We present a general framework for constructing error-correcting codes using distributed graph coloring under the LOCAL model. Building on the correspondence between independent sets in the confusion graph and valid codes, we show that the…
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.…
Graph coloring problems are a central topic of study in the theory of algorithms. We study the problem of partially coloring partially colorable graphs. For $\alpha \leq 1$ and $k \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, we say that a graph $G=(V,E)$ is…
We develop an algorithmic framework for graph colouring that reduces the problem to verifying a local probabilistic property of the independent sets. With this we give, for any fixed $k\ge 3$ and $\varepsilon>0$, a randomised…
Unit disk graphs are intersection graphs of circles of unit radius in the plane. We present simple and provably good heuristics for a number of classical NP-hard optimization problems on unit disk graphs. The problems considered include…
A distributed algorithm performs local computations on pieces of input and communicates the results through given communication links. When processing a massive graph in a distributed algorithm, local outputs must be configured as a…
A $k$-coloring of a graph is an assignment of integers between $1$ and $k$ to vertices in the graph such that the endpoints of each edge receive different numbers. We study a local variation of the coloring problem, which imposes further…
In this paper we study the problem of testing graph isomorphism (GI) in the CONGEST distributed model. In this setting we test whether the distributive network, $G_U$, is isomorphic to $G_K$ which is given as an input to all the nodes in…
In this article, we consider colorable variations of the Unit Disk Cover ({\it UDC}) problem as follows. {\it $k$-Colorable Discrete Unit Disk Cover ({\it $k$-CDUDC})}: Given a set $P$ of $n$ points, and a set $D$ of $m$ unit disks (of…
Graph coloring is one of the most famous computational problems with applications in a wide range of areas such as planning and scheduling, resource allocation, and pattern matching. So far coloring problems are mostly studied on static…
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…
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…
Node coloring is the task of assigning colors to the nodes of a graph such that no two adjacent nodes have the same color, while using as few colors as possible. It is the most widely studied instance of graph coloring and of central…
In this paper we introduce the notion of $\Sigma$-colouring of a graph $G$: For given subsets $\Sigma(v)$ of neighbours of $v$, for every $v\in V(G)$, this is a proper colouring of the vertices of $G$ such that, in addition, vertices that…
In the context of communication complexity, we explore protocols for graph coloring, focusing on the vertex and edge coloring problems in $n$-vertex graphs $G$ with a maximum degree $\Delta$. We consider a scenario where the edges of $G$…
Partitioning a graph into blocks of roughly equal weight while cutting only few edges is a fundamental problem in computer science with numerous practical applications. While shared-memory parallel partitioners have recently matured to…
A class domination coloring (also called cd-Coloring or dominated coloring) of a graph is a proper coloring in which every color class is contained in the neighbourhood of some vertex. The minimum number of colors required for any…
This paper explores the application of a new algebraic method of color exchanges to the edge coloring of simple graphs. Vizing's theorem states that the edge coloring of a simple graph $G$ requires either $\Delta$ or $\Delta+1$ colors,…
We consider graph coloring and related problems in the distributed message-passing model. {Locally-iterative algorithms} are especially important in this setting. These are algorithms in which each vertex decides about its next color only…
