We consider the problem of sampling a proper $k$-coloring of a graph of maximal degree $\Delta$ uniformly at random. We describe a new Markov chain for sampling colorings, and show that it mixes rapidly on graphs of bounded treewidth if…
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…

We solve, in a fully decentralised way (\ie with no message passing), the classic problem of colouring a graph. We propose a novel algorithm that is automatically responsive to topology changes, and we prove that it converges quickly to a…
We give an online algorithm that with high probability computes a $\left(\frac{e}{e-1} + o(1)\right)\Delta$ edge coloring on a graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta = \omega(\log n)$ under online edge arrivals against oblivious adversaries,…
The network coloring game has been proposed in the literature of social sciences as a model for conflict-resolution circumstances. The players of the game are the vertices of a graph with $n$ vertices and maximum degree $\Delta$. The game…
We present a randomized algorithm that takes as input an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$ and an integer $k > 3\Delta$, and returns a random proper $k$-coloring of $G$. The distribution of the coloring is…
Distributed graph coloring is one of the most extensively studied problems in distributed computing. There is a canonical family of distributed graph coloring algorithms known as the locally-iterative coloring algorithms, first formalized…
Consider the following simple coloring algorithm for a graph on $n$ vertices. Each vertex chooses a color from $\{1, \dotsc, \Delta(G) + 1\}$ uniformly at random. While there exists a conflicted vertex choose one such vertex uniformly at…
In the Edge Coloring problem, we are given an undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and are tasked with finding the smallest positive integer $k$ so that the edges of $G$ can be assigned $k$ colors in such a way that no two…
The classic theorem of Vizing (Diskret. Analiz.'64) asserts that any graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ can be edge colored (offline) using no more than $\Delta+1$ colors (with $\Delta$ being a trivial lower bound). In the online setting,…
Graph coloring is one of the most famous computational problems with applications in a wide range of areas such as planning and scheduling, resource allocation, and pattern matching. So far coloring problems are mostly studied on static…
We present a progress on local computation algorithms for two coloring of $k$-uniform hypergraphs. We focus on instances that satisfy strengthened assumption of Local Lemma of the form $2^{1-\alpha k} (\Delta+1) e < 1$, where $\Delta$ is…
We study the problem of sampling almost uniform proper $q$-colourings in $k$-uniform simple hypergraphs with maximum degree $\Delta$. For any $\delta > 0$, if $k \geq\frac{20(1+\delta)}{\delta}$ and $q \geq…
We study the $(\Delta+1)$-edge-coloring problem in the parallel $\left(\mathrm{PRAM}\right)$ model of computation. The celebrated Vizing's theorem [Viz64] states that every simple graph $G = (V,E)$ can be properly $(\Delta+1)$-edge-colored.…
The problem of efficiently coloring $3$-colorable graphs with few colors has received much attention on both the algorithmic and inapproximability fronts. We consider exponential time approximations, in which given a parameter $r$, we aim…
Given a graph $G$ and color set $\{1, \ldots, k\}$, a $\textit{proper coloring}$ is an assignment of a color to each vertex of $G$ such that no two vertices connected by an edge are given the same color. The problem of drawing a proper…
Vizing's theorem states that every simple undirected graph can be edge-colored using fewer than $\Delta + 1$ colors, where $\Delta$ is the graph's maximum degree. The original proof was given through a polynomial-time algorithmic procedure…
We show that for any fixed integer $m \geq 1$, a graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ has a coloring with $O(\Delta^{(m+1)/m})$ colors in which every connected bicolored subgraph contains at most $m$ edges. This result unifies previously known…
We show a fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate \emph{size} of maximum matching of the graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges using $m^{0.5-\Omega_{\epsilon}(1)}$ update time. This is the first polynomial…
