We consider coloring problems in the distributed message-passing setting. The previously-known deterministic algorithms for edge-coloring employed at least (2Delta - 1) colors, even though any graph admits an edge-coloring with Delta + 1…

The celebrated Time Hierarchy Theorem for Turing machines states, informally, that more problems can be solved given more time. The extent to which a time hierarchy-type theorem holds in the distributed LOCAL model has been open for many…

We study the distributed message-passing model in which a communication network is represented by a graph G=(V,E). Usually, the measure of complexity that is considered in this model is the worst-case complexity, which is the largest number…

Motivated by the increasing need for fast processing of large-scale graphs, we study a number of fundamental graph problems in a message-passing model for distributed computing, called $k$-machine model, where we have $k$ machines that…

We study the wake-up problem in distributed networks, where an adversary awakens a subset of nodes at arbitrary times, and the goal is to wake up all other nodes as quickly as possible by sending only few messages. We prove the following…
