In this paper, we study the problem of computing an edge-coloring in the (one-pass) W-streaming model. In this setting, the edges of an $n$-node graph arrive in an arbitrary order to a machine with a relatively small space, and the goal is…

Given a graph $G$, an edge-coloring is an assignment of colors to edges of $G$ such that any two edges sharing an endpoint receive different colors. By Vizing's celebrated theorem, any graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ needs at least…

For edge coloring, the online and the W-streaming models seem somewhat orthogonal: the former needs edges to be assigned colors immediately after insertion, typically without any space restrictions, while the latter limits memory to…

In the W-streaming model, an algorithm is given $O(n \mathrm{polylog} n)$ space and must process a large graph of up to $O(n^2)$ edges. In this short note we give two algorithms for edge colouring under the W-streaming model. For edge…

Graph coloring is a fundamental problem in computer science. In the semi-streaming model, an input graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and maximum degree $\Delta$ is presented as a stream of edges, and the goal is to compute a vertex coloring using a…

A streaming algorithm is considered to be adversarially robust if it provides correct outputs with high probability even when the stream updates are chosen by an adversary who may observe and react to the past outputs of the algorithm. We…

Recent breakthroughs in graph streaming have led to the design of single-pass semi-streaming algorithms for various graph coloring problems such as $(\Delta+1)$-coloring, degeneracy-coloring, coloring triangle-free graphs, and others. These…

In this paper, we initiate the study of the vertex coloring problem of a graph in the semi streaming model. In this model, the input graph is defined by a stream of edges, arriving in adversarial order and any algorithm must process the…

Vizing's theorem guarantees that every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ admits an edge coloring using $\Delta + 1$ colors. In online settings - where edges arrive one at a time and must be colored immediately - a simple greedy algorithm…

We study the {edge-coloring} problem in the message-passing model of distributed computing. This is one of the most fundamental and well-studied problems in this area. Currently, the best-known deterministic algorithms for (2Delta…

We consider coloring problems in the distributed message-passing setting. The previously-known deterministic algorithms for edge-coloring employed at least (2Delta - 1) colors, even though any graph admits an edge-coloring with Delta + 1…

We study the problem of online graph coloring for $k$-colorable graphs. The best previously known deterministic algorithm uses $\widetilde{O}(n^{1-\frac{1}{k!}})$ colors for general $k$ and $\widetilde{O}(n^{5/6})$ colors for $k = 4$, both…

In the context of communication complexity, we explore protocols for graph coloring, focusing on the vertex and edge coloring problems in $n$-vertex graphs $G$ with a maximum degree $\Delta$. We consider a scenario where the edges of $G$…

We study graph coloring problems in the streaming model, where the goal is to process an $n$-vertex graph whose edges arrive in a stream, using a limited space that is smaller than the trivial $O(n^2)$ bound. While prior work has largely…
