In the CONGEST model, a communications network is an undirected graph whose $n$ nodes are processors and whose $m$ edges are the communications links between processors. At any given time step, a message of size $O(\log n)$ may be sent by…
Algorithmic meta-theorems, stating that graph properties expressible in some particular logic can be decided efficiently in graph classes having some specific structural properties, are now standard in sequential graph algorithms. One of…
We study the maximum cardinality matching problem in a standard distributed setting, where the nodes $V$ of a given $n$-node network graph $G=(V,E)$ communicate over the edges $E$ in synchronous rounds. More specifically, we consider the…
