The Beeping Network (BN) model captures important properties of biological processes. Paradoxically, the extremely limited communication capabilities of such nodes has helped BN become one of the fundamental models for networks. Since in…

In this paper, we formulate and investigate a generalized consensus algorithm which makes an attempt to unify distributed averaging and maximizing algorithms considered in the literature. Each node iteratively updates its state as a…

We study algorithms in the distributed message-passing model that produce secured output, for an input graph $G$. Specifically, each vertex computes its part in the output, the entire output is correct, but each vertex cannot discover the…

We give a randomized $\Delta$-coloring algorithm in the LOCAL model that runs in $\text{poly} \log \log n$ rounds, where $n$ is the number of nodes of the input graph and $\Delta$ is its maximum degree. This means that randomized…

We study a synchronous dispersion process in which $M$ particles are initially placed at a distinguished origin vertex of a graph $G$. At each time step, at each vertex $v$ occupied by more than one particle at the beginning of this step,…

We show that the Maximum Weight Independent Set problem (MWIS) can be solved in quasi-polynomial time on $H$-free graphs (graphs excluding a fixed graph $H$ as an induced subgraph) for every $H$ whose every connected component is a path or…

A minority process in a weighted graph is a dynamically changing coloring. Each node repeatedly changes its color in order to minimize the sum of weighted conflicts with its neighbors. We study the number of steps until such a process…

This paper is centered on the complexity of graph problems in the well-studied LOCAL model of distributed computing, introduced by Linial [FOCS '87]. It is widely known that for many of the classic distributed graph problems (including…

We study a natural extension of the Maximum Weight Independent Set Problem (MWIS), one of the most studied optimization problems in Graph algorithms. We are given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a weight function $w: V \rightarrow \mathbb{R^+}$, a…

We study the Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles (MISR) problem: given a set of $n$ axis-parallel rectangles, find a largest-cardinality subset of the rectangles, such that no two of them overlap. MISR is a basic geometric optimization…

We propose a self-stabilizing leader election (SS-LE) protocol on ring networks in the population protocol model. Given a rough knowledge $\psi = \lceil \log n \rceil + O(1)$ on the population size $n$, the proposed protocol lets the…

We study the stabilization time of a wide class of processes on graphs, in which each node can only switch its state if it is motivated to do so by at least a $\frac{1+\lambda}{2}$ fraction of its neighbors, for some $0 < \lambda < 1$. Two…
