In this work we study local computation with advice: the goal is to solve a graph problem $\Pi$ with a distributed algorithm in $T(\Delta)$ communication rounds, for some function $T$ that only depends on the maximum degree $\Delta$ of the…
Consider any locally checkable labeling problem $\Pi$ in rooted regular trees: there is a finite set of labels $\Sigma$, and for each label $x \in \Sigma$ we specify what are permitted label combinations of the children for an internal node…

This work studies distributed algorithms for locally optimal load-balancing: We are given a graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, and each node has up to $L$ units of load. The task is to distribute the load more evenly so that the loads of…
We study coordination under restricted information, where classical local models fail to implement certain correlated distributions because agents cannot condition on past history. We show that quantum systems overcome this limitation even…
We consider the LOCAL model of distributed computing, where in a single round of communication each node can send to each of its neighbors a message of an arbitrary size. It is know that, classically, the round complexity of 3-coloring an…
