We provide a $O(\log^6 \log n)$-round randomized algorithm for distance-2 coloring in CONGEST with $\Delta^2+1$ colors. For $\Delta\gg\operatorname{poly}\log n$, this improves exponentially on the $O(\log\Delta+\operatorname{poly}\log\log…
We study the problem of bi-chromatic coloring of hypergraphs in the LOCAL distributed model of computation. This problem can easily be solved by a randomized local algorithm with no communication. However, it is not known how to solve it…
A distributed algorithm performs local computations on pieces of input and communicates the results through given communication links. When processing a massive graph in a distributed algorithm, local outputs must be configured as a…
In this paper we deal with a network of computing agents with local processing and neighboring communication capabilities that aim at solving (without any central unit) a submodular optimization problem. The cost function is the sum of many…
The Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma is a very powerful tool in probabilistic combinatorics, that is often used to prove existence of combinatorial objects satisfying certain constraints. Moser and Tardos have shown that the LLL gives more than just…
In this work we introduce a new notion: local mechanisms. These are truthful mechanisms that have an implementation as fast distributed algorithms and non-trivial approximation guarantees. We show how monotone distributed optimisation…
We give a randomized $\Delta$-coloring algorithm in the LOCAL model that runs in $\text{poly} \log \log n$ rounds, where $n$ is the number of nodes of the input graph and $\Delta$ is its maximum degree. This means that randomized…
The resampling algorithm of Moser \& Tardos is a powerful approach to develop constructive versions of the Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL). We generalize this to partial resampling: when a bad event holds, we resample an appropriately-random…
The Lopsided Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLLL) is a powerful probabilistic principle which has been used in a variety of combinatorial constructions. While originally a general statement about probability spaces, it has recently been…
We consider graph coloring and related problems in the distributed message-passing model. {Locally-iterative algorithms} are especially important in this setting. These are algorithms in which each vertex decides about its next color only…
Distributed optimization algorithms are frequently faced with solving sub-problems on disjoint connected parts of a network. Unfortunately, the diameter of these parts can be significantly larger than the diameter of the underlying network,…
We develop a general deterministic distributed method for locally rounding fractional solutions of graph problems for which the analysis can be broken down into analyzing pairs of vertices. Roughly speaking, the method can transform…
We present polynomial-time algorithms for approximate counting and sampling solutions to constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) with atomic constraints within the local lemma regime: $$ pD^{2+o_q(1)}\lesssim 1. $$ When the domain size $q$…
Following the groundbreaking algorithm of Moser and Tardos for the Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL), there has been a plethora of results analyzing local search algorithms for various constraint satisfaction problems. The algorithms considered fall…
Recently, Brandt et al. [STOC'16] proved a lower bound for the distributed Lov\'asz Local Lemma, which has been conjectured to be tight for sufficiently relaxed LLL criteria by Chang and Pettie [FOCS'17]. At the heart of their result lies a…
The Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL) is a keystone principle in probability theory, guaranteeing the existence of configurations which avoid a collection $\mathcal B$ of "bad" events which are mostly independent and have low probability. In its…

We consider two models of computation: centralized local algorithms and local distributed algorithms. Algorithms in one model are adapted to the other model to obtain improved algorithms. Distributed vertex coloring is employed to design…
One of the cornerstones of the distributed complexity theory is the derandomization result by Chang, Kopelowitz, and Pettie [FOCS 2016]: any randomized LOCAL algorithm that solves a locally checkable labeling problem (LCL) can be…
