We present a deterministic distributed algorithm that computes a $(2\Delta-1)$-edge-coloring, or even list-edge-coloring, in any $n$-node graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, in $O(\log^7 \Delta \log n)$ rounds. This answers one of the…

We study the edge-colouring problem, and give efficient algorithms where the number of colours is parameterised by the graph's arboricity, $\alpha$. In a dynamic graph, subject to insertions and deletions, we give a deterministic algorithm…

We study the allocation problem in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model. This problem is a special case of $b$-matching, in which the input is a bipartite graph with capacities greater than $1$ in only one part of the bipartition.…

We show that the $(degree+1)$-list coloring problem can be solved deterministically in $O(D \cdot \log n \cdot\log^2\Delta)$ rounds in the \CONGEST model, where $D$ is the diameter of the graph, $n$ the number of nodes, and $\Delta$ the…

Most graphs in real life keep changing with time. These changes can be in the form of insertion or deletion of edges or vertices. Such rapidly changing graphs motivate us to study dynamic graph algorithms. However, three important graph…
