Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are sufficiently energetic to be detectable from luminosity distances up to at least seven billion parsecs (redshift $z > 1$). Probing the maximum energies and luminosities of FRBs constrains their emission…
Current observational evidence reveals that fast radio bursts (FRBs) exhibit bandwidths ranging from a few dozen MHz to several GHz. Traditional FRB searches primarily employ matched filter methods on time series collapsed across the entire…
We provide the first asynchronous distributed algorithms to compute broadcast and minimum spanning tree with $o(m)$ bits of communication, in a graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges. For decades, it was believed that $\Omega(m)$ bits of…
Detecting fast radio bursts (FRBs) with frequency-dependent intensity remains a challenge, as existing search algorithms do not account for the spectral shape, potentially leading to non-detections. We propose a novel detection statistic,…

Bounded-angle (minimum) spanning trees were first introduced in the context of wireless networks with directional antennas. They are reminiscent of bounded-degree spanning trees, which have received significant attention. Let $P =…
The fast radio burst (FRB) population is observationally divided into sources that have been observed to repeat and those that have not. There is tentative evidence that the bursts from repeating sources have different properties than the…
We develop and extensively evaluate highly scalable distributed-memory algorithms for computing minimum spanning trees (MSTs). At the heart of our solutions is a scalable variant of Boruvka's algorithm. For partitioned graphs with many…
