We study the problem of finding a maximal independent set (MIS) in the standard LOCAL model of distributed computing. Classical algorithms by Luby [JACM'86] and Alon, Babai, and Itai [JALG'86] find an MIS in $O(\log n)$ rounds in $n$-node…

In the semi-streaming model for processing massive graphs, an algorithm makes multiple passes over the edges of a given $n$-vertex graph and is tasked with computing the solution to a problem using $O(n \cdot \text{polylog}(n))$ space.…
Maximal Independent Set (MIS) is one of the fundamental problems in distributed computing. The round (time) complexity of distributed MIS has traditionally focused on the \emph{worst-case time} for all nodes to finish. The best-known…
The Beeping Network (BN) model captures important properties of biological processes. Paradoxically, the extremely limited communication capabilities of such nodes has helped BN become one of the fundamental models for networks. Since in…
