We consider the corner-stone broadcast task with an adaptive adversary that controls a fixed number of $t$ edges in the input communication graph. In this model, the adversary sees the entire communication in the network and the random…
Resilient computation in all-to-all-communication models has attracted tremendous attention over the years. Most of these works assume the classical faulty model which restricts the total number of corrupted edges (or vertices) by some…
We investigate the vulnerabilities of consensus-based distributed optimization protocols to nodes that deviate from the prescribed update rule (e.g., due to failures or adversarial attacks). We first characterize certain fundamental…
In this paper we present distributed testing algorithms of graph properties in the CONGEST-model [Censor-Hillel et al. 2016]. We present one-sided error testing algorithms in the general graph model. We first describe a general procedure…
Consider a distributed task where the communication network is fixed but the local inputs given to the nodes of the distributed system may change over time. In this work, we explore the following question: if some of the local inputs…

We extract a core principle underlying seemingly different fundamental distributed settings, showing sparsity awareness may induce faster algorithms for problems in these settings. To leverage this, we establish a new framework by…
In distributed networks, it is often useful for the nodes to be aware of dense subgraphs, e.g., such a dense subgraph could reveal dense subtructures in otherwise sparse graphs (e.g. the World Wide Web or social networks); these might…
We study distributed computation in synchronous dynamic networks where an omniscient adversary controls the unidirectional communication links. Its behavior is modeled as a sequence of directed graphs representing the active (i.e. timely)…
We revisit classical connectivity problems in the CONGEST model of distributed computing. By using techniques from fault tolerant network design, we show improved constructions, some of which are even "local" (i.e., with $\widetilde{O}(1)$…
We study stochastic graph optimization problems in a novel distributed setting. As in the standard centralized setting, a random subgraph $G^*$ of a known base graph $G$ is realized by including each edge $e$ independently with a known…
Distributed graph algorithms that separately optimize for either the number of rounds used or the total number of messages sent have been studied extensively. However, algorithms simultaneously efficient with respect to both measures have…
We study distributed algorithms for some fundamental problems in data summarization. Given a communication graph $G$ of $n$ nodes each of which may hold a value initially, we focus on computing $\sum_{i=1}^N g(f_i)$, where $f_i$ is the…
This paper addresses a resilient exponential distributed convex optimization problem for a heterogeneous linear multi-agent system under Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks over random digraphs. The random digraphs are caused by unreliable…
We study distributed optimization in the presence of Byzantine adversaries, where both data and computation are distributed among $m$ worker machines, $t$ of which may be corrupt. The compromised nodes may collaboratively and arbitrarily…
Distributed vertex coloring is one of the classic problems and probably also the most widely studied problems in the area of distributed graph algorithms. We present a new randomized distributed vertex coloring algorithm for the standard…
