We consider a connected undirected graph $G(n,m)$ with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges. A $k$-dominating set $D$ in $G$ is a set of nodes having the property that every node in $G$ is at most $k$ edges away from at least one node in $D$. Finding a…

This paper is devoted to the distributed complexity of finding an approximation of the maximum cut in graphs. A classical algorithm consists in letting each vertex choose its side of the cut uniformly at random. This does not require any…
We show how to compute a 20-approximation of a minimum dominating set in a planar graph in a constant number of rounds in the LOCAL model of distributed computing. This improves on the previously best known approximation factor of 52, which…
