In the standard set reconciliation problem, there are two parties $A_1$ and $A_2$, each respectively holding a set of elements $S_1$ and $S_2$. The goal is for both parties to obtain the union $S_1 \cup S_2$. In many distributed computing…

We consider variations of set reconciliation problems where two parties, Alice and Bob, each hold a set of points in a metric space, and the goal is for Bob to conclude with a set of points that is close to Alice's set of points in a…
Set reconciliation protocols typically make two critical assumptions: they are designed for fixed-sized elements and they are optimized for when the difference cardinality, d, is very small. When adapting to variable-sized elements, the…
