We study distributed algorithms that find a maximal matching in an anonymous, edge-coloured graph. If the edges are properly coloured with $k$ colours, there is a trivial greedy algorithm that finds a maximal matching in $k-1$ synchronous…
We consider the standard message passing model; we assume the system is fully synchronous: all processes start at the same time and time proceeds in synchronised rounds. In each round each vertex can transmit a different message of size…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k \ge 1$, a $k$-hop dominating set $D$ of $G$ is a subset of $V$, such that, for every vertex $v \in V$, there exists a node $u \in D$ whose hop-distance from $v$ is at most $k$. A $k$-hop dominating…
We revisit the classic broadcast problem, wherein we have $k$ messages, each composed of $O(\log{n})$ bits, distributed arbitrarily across a network. The objective is to broadcast these messages to all nodes in the network. In the…
A $k$-dominating set is a set $D$ of nodes of a graph such that, for each node $v$, there exists a node $w \in D$ at distance at most $k$ from $v$. Our aim is the deterministic distributed construction of small $T$-dominating sets in time…
A mixed dominating set $S$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $ S \subseteq V \cup E$ such that each element $v\in (V \cup E) \setminus S$ is adjacent or incident to at least one element in $S$. The mixed domination number $\gamma_m(G)$ of a…
The present paper studies local distributed graph problems in highly dynamic networks. Communication and changes of the graph happen in synchronous rounds and our algorithms always, i.e., in every round, satisfy non-trivial guarantees, no…
Assignment of one of the two possible directions to every edge of an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is called an orientation of $G$. The resulting directed graph is denoted by $\overrightarrow{G}$. A strong orientation is one in which every…
We present fast and efficient randomized distributed algorithms to find Hamiltonian cycles in random graphs. In particular, we present a randomized distributed algorithm for the $G(n,p)$ random graph model, with number of nodes $n$ and…
A subset $S$ of a vertex set of a graph $G$ is a total $(k,r)$-dominating set if every vertex $u \in V(G)$ is within distance $k$ of at least $r$ vertices in $S$. The minimum cardinality among all total $(k,r)$-dominating sets of $G$ is…
We present a universally-optimal distributed algorithm for the exact weighted min-cut. The algorithm is guaranteed to complete in $\widetilde{O}(D + \sqrt{n})$ rounds on every graph, recovering the recent result of Dory, Efron,…
The $K$-nearest neighbors is a basic problem in machine learning with numerous applications. In this problem, given a (training) set of $n$ data points with labels and a query point $p$, we want to assign a label to $p$ based on the labels…
We consider structural parameterizations of the fundamental Dominating Set problem and its variants in the parameter ecology program. We give improved FPT algorithms and lower bounds under well-known conjectures for dominating set in graphs…
We consider the question of averaging on a graph that has one sparse cut separating two subgraphs that are internally well connected. While there has been a large body of work devoted to algorithms for distributed averaging, nearly all…
We consider distributed optimization by a collection of nodes, each having access to its own convex function, whose collective goal is to minimize the sum of the functions. The communications between nodes are described by a time-varying…
A dominating set $D$ of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices such that any vertex in $G$ is in $D$ or its neighbor is in $D$. Enumeration of minimal dominating sets in a graph is one of central problems in enumeration study since enumeration of…
In this paper we consider the k-set agreement problem in distributed message-passing systems using a round-based approach: Both synchrony of communication and failures are captured just by means of the messages that arrive within a round,…
Twin nodes in a static network capture the idea of being substitutes for each other for maintaining paths of the same length anywhere in the network. In dynamic networks, we model twin nodes over a time-bounded interval, noted…
Coverage problems are central in optimization and have a wide range of applications in data mining and machine learning. While several distributed algorithms have been developed for coverage problems, the existing methods suffer from…
We present a simple deterministic distributed $(2+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithm for minimum weight vertex cover, which completes in $O(\log{\Delta}/\epsilon\log\log{\Delta})$ rounds, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree in the graph,…
