We consider the message complexity of verifying whether a given subgraph of the communication network forms a tree with specific properties both in the KT-$\rho$ (nodes know their $\rho$-hop neighborhood, including node IDs) and the KT-$0$…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a $\beta$-ruling set is a subset $S\subseteq V$ that is i) independent, and ii) every node $v\in V$ has a node of $S$ within distance $\beta$. In this paper we present almost optimal distributed algorithms for…

In length-constrained minimum spanning tree (MST) we are given an $n$-node graph $G = (V,E)$ with edge weights $w : E \to \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ and edge lengths $l: E \to \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ along with a root node $r \in V$ and a…
