Vizing's Theorem from 1964 states that any $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ can be {\em edge colored} using at most $\Delta + 1$ colors. For over 40 years, the state-of-the-art running time for computing such a…

The last five years of research on distributed graph algorithms have seen huge leaps of progress, both regarding algorithmic improvements and impossibility results: new strong lower bounds have emerged for many central problems and…

In the W-streaming model, an algorithm is given $O(n \mathrm{polylog} n)$ space and must process a large graph of up to $O(n^2)$ edges. In this short note we give two algorithms for edge colouring under the W-streaming model. For edge…

The paper presents techniques to derive upper bounds for the mean time to recover from a single fault for self-stabilizing algorithms in the message passing model. For a new Delta+1-coloring algorithm we analytically derive a bound for the…

We present a deterministic $O(\log \log \log n)$-round low-space Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) algorithm for the classical problem of $(\Delta+1)$-coloring on $n$-vertex graphs. In this model, every machine has a sublinear local…

We consider the classical Minimum Balanced Cut problem: given a graph $G$, compute a partition of its vertices into two subsets of roughly equal volume, while minimizing the number of edges connecting the subsets. We present the first {\em…

The {\em acyclic chromatic number} of a graph is the least number of colors needed to properly color its vertices so that none of its cycles has only two colors. The {\em acyclic chromatic index} is the analogous graph parameter for edge…

In 1994, Thomassen proved that every planar graph is 5-list-colorable. In 1995, Thomassen proved that every planar graph of girth at least five is 3-list-colorable. His proofs naturally lead to quadratic-time algorithms to find such…

We give efficient randomized and deterministic distributed algorithms for computing a distance-$2$ vertex coloring of a graph $G$ in the CONGEST model. In particular, if $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of $G$, we show that there is a…

We consider the problem of finding an edge in a hidden undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ with $n$ vertices, in a model where we only allowed queries that ask whether or not a subset of vertices contains an edge. We study the non-adaptive model…

Nearly thirty years ago, Bar-Noy, Motwani and Naor [IPL'92] conjectured that an online $(1+o(1))\Delta$-edge-coloring algorithm exists for $n$-node graphs of maximum degree $\Delta=\omega(\log n)$. This conjecture remains open in general,…

An $(\alpha,\beta)$-ruling set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set $R\subseteq V$ such that for any node $v\in V$ there is a node $u\in R$ in distance at most $\beta$ from $v$ and such that any two nodes in $R$ are at distance at least $\alpha$…
