We study the NP-hard problem of approximating a Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Tree in the message passing model with limited bandwidth (CONGEST model). In this problem one tries to find a spanning tree of a graph $G$ over $n$ nodes that…

The problem of finding a spanning forest of a graph in a distributed-processing environment is studied. If an input graph is weighted, then the goal is to find a minimum-weight spanning forest. The processors communicate by broadcasting.…

In the distributed triangle detection problem, we have an $n$-vertex network $G=(V,E)$ with one player for each vertex of the graph who sees the edges incident on the vertex. The players communicate in synchronous rounds using the edges of…

An out-tree $T$ of a directed graph $D$ is a rooted tree subgraph with all arcs directed outwards from the root. An out-branching is a spanning out-tree. By $l(D)$ and $l_s(D)$ we denote the maximum number of leaves over all out-trees and…

We consider the well-studied radio network model: a synchronous model with a graph G=(V,E) with |V|=n where in each round, each node either transmits a packet, with length B=Omega(log n) bits, or listens. Each node receives a packet iff it…

As well known the rotation distance D(S,T) between two binary trees S, T of n vertices is the minimum number of rotations of pairs of vertices to transform S into T. We introduce the new operation of chain rotation on a tree, involving two…

We consider the problem of computing a maximal matching with a distributed algorithm in the presence of batch-dynamic changes to the graph topology. We assume that a graph of $n$ nodes is vertex-partitioned among $k$ players that…
