We present a deterministic distributed algorithm in the LOCAL model that finds a proper $(\Delta + 1)$-edge-coloring of an $n$-vertex graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ in $\mathrm{poly}(\Delta, \log n)$ rounds. This is the first nontrivial…

Vizing showed that it suffices to color the edges of a simple graph using $\Delta + 1$ colors, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of the graph. However, up to this date, no efficient distributed edge-coloring algorithms are known for…

This paper explores the application of a new algebraic method of color exchanges to the edge coloring of simple graphs. Vizing's theorem states that the edge coloring of a simple graph $G$ requires either $\Delta$ or $\Delta+1$ colors,…
