We present a deterministic distributed algorithm that computes a $(2\Delta-1)$-edge-coloring, or even list-edge-coloring, in any $n$-node graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, in $O(\log^7 \Delta \log n)$ rounds. This answers one of the…
We present a deterministic $O(\log \log \log n)$-round low-space Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) algorithm for the classical problem of $(\Delta+1)$-coloring on $n$-vertex graphs. In this model, every machine has a sublinear local…
We present efficient parallel algorithms for computing maximal matchings in hypergraphs. Our algorithm finds locally maximal edges in the hypergraph and adds them in parallel to the matching. In the CRCW PRAM models our algorithms achieve…
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…
Recent improvements on the deterministic complexities of fundamental graph problems in the LOCAL model of distributed computing have yielded state-of-the-art upper bounds of $\tilde{O}(\log^{5/3} n)$ rounds for maximal independent set (MIS)…
The coloring problem (i.e., computing the chromatic number of a graph) can be solved in $O^*(2^n)$ time, as shown by Bj\"orklund, Husfeldt and Koivisto in 2009. For $k=3,4$, better algorithms are known for the $k$-coloring problem.…

This paper explores the application of a new algebraic method of edge coloring, called complex coloring, to the scheduling problems of input queued switches. The proposed distributed parallel scheduling algorithm possesses two important…
This paper studies sufficient conditions to obtain efficient distributed algorithms coloring graphs optimally (i.e.\ with the minimum number of colors) in the LOCAL model of computation. Most of the work on distributed vertex coloring so…
We show that the $(degree+1)$-list coloring problem can be solved deterministically in $O(D \cdot \log n \cdot\log^2\Delta)$ rounds in the \CONGEST model, where $D$ is the diameter of the graph, $n$ the number of nodes, and $\Delta$ the…
Given a graph, an edge coloring assigns colors to edges so that no pairs of adjacent edges share the same color. We are interested in edge coloring algorithms under the W-streaming model. In this model, the algorithm does not have enough…
We consider the problem of maintaining a $(1+\epsilon)\Delta$-edge coloring in a dynamic graph $G$ with $n$ nodes and maximum degree at most $\Delta$. The state-of-the-art update time is $O_\epsilon(\text{polylog}(n))$, by Duan, He and…
Every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ can be colored with $(\Delta+1)$ colors using a simple greedy algorithm. Remarkably, recent work has shown that one can find such a coloring even in the semi-streaming model. But, in reality, one…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A (proper) $k$-edge-coloring is a coloring of the edges of $G$ such that any pair of edges sharing an endpoint receive distinct colors. A classical result of Vizing ensures that any simple graph $G$ admits a…
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…
The palette sparsification theorem (PST) of Assadi, Chen, and Khanna (SODA 2019) states that in every graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$, sampling a list of $O(\log{n})$ colors from $\{1,\ldots,\Delta+1\}$ for every vertex independently…
We give a new randomized distributed algorithm for the $\Delta+1$-list coloring problem. The algorithm and its analysis dramatically simplify the previous best result known of Chang, Li, and Pettie [SICOMP 2020]. This allows for numerous…
We develop the first parallel graph coloring heuristics with strong theoretical guarantees on work and depth and coloring quality. The key idea is to design a relaxation of the vertex degeneracy order, a well-known graph theory concept, and…
We obtain the following new coloring results: * A 3-colorable graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree~$\Delta$ can be colored, in polynomial time, using $O((\Delta \log\Delta)^{1/3} \cdot\log{n})$ colors. This slightly improves an…
We present a deterministic distributed algorithm, in the LOCAL model, that computes a $(1+o(1))\Delta$-edge-coloring in polylogarithmic-time, so long as the maximum degree $\Delta=\tilde{\Omega}(\log n)$. For smaller $\Delta$, we give a…
