We consider the problem of computing a perfect matching problem in a synchronous distributed network, where the network topology corresponds to a complete bipartite graph. The communication between nodes is restricted to activating…
This paper studies lower bounds for fundamental optimization problems in the CONGEST model. We show that solving problems exactly in this model can be a hard task, by providing $\tilde{\Omega}(n^2)$ lower bounds for cornerstone problems,…
Constructing a spanning tree of a graph is one of the most basic tasks in graph theory. We consider a relaxed version of this problem in the setting of local algorithms. The relaxation is that the constructed subgraph is a sparse spanning…
Consider $n$ agents connected over a network collaborating to minimize the average of their local cost functions combined with a common nonsmooth function. This paper introduces a unified algorithmic framework for solving such a problem…
Given a graph $G=(V, E)$ and a positive integer $k$, in Maximum $k$-Order Bounded Component Set (Max-$k$-OBCS), it is required to find a vertex set $S \subseteq V$ of maximum size such that each component in the induced graph $G[S]$ has at…
We show a deterministic constant-time local algorithm for constructing an approximately maximum flow and minimum fractional cut in multisource-multitarget networks with bounded degrees and bounded edge capacities. Locality means that the…
In this paper, we present a simple factor 6 algorithm for approximating the optimal multiplicative distortion of embedding a graph metric into a tree metric (thus improving and simplifying the factor 100 and 27 algorithms of B\v{a}doiu,…
A set $D\subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a neighborhood total dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a dominating set and the subgraph of $G$ induced by the open neighborhood of $D$ has no isolated vertex. Given a graph $G$,…
This work concerns the analysis and design of distributed first-order optimization algorithms over time-varying graphs. The goal of such algorithms is to optimize a global function that is the average of local functions using only local…
In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm for the minimum dominating set problem. For some especial networks, we prove theoretically that the achieved answer by our proposed algorithm is a constant approximation factor of the exact…
This paper considers a distributed optimization problem over a multi-agent network, in which the objective function is a sum of individual cost functions at the agents. We focus on the case when communication between the agents is described…
This papers studies multi-agent (convex and \emph{nonconvex}) optimization over static digraphs. We propose a general distributed \emph{asynchronous} algorithmic framework whereby i) agents can update their local variables as well as…
The 1-median problem (1MP) on undirected weighted graphs seeks to find a facility location minimizing the total weighted distance to all customer nodes. Although the 1MP can be solved exactly by computing the single-source shortest paths…
We prove that a simple distributed algorithm finds a constant approximation of an optimal distance-$k$ dominating set in graphs with no $K_{2,t}$-minor. The algorithm runs in a constant number of rounds. We further show how this procedure…
It is a well known fact that sequential algorithms which exhibit a strong "local" nature can be adapted to the distributed setting given a legal graph coloring. The running time of the distributed algorithm will then be at least the number…
Dominating set is a set of vertices of a graph such that all other vertices have a neighbour in the dominating set. We propose a new order-based randomised local search (RLS$_o$) algorithm to solve minimum dominating set problem in large…
In this paper, we consider classic randomized low diameter decomposition procedures for planar graphs that obtain connected clusters which are cohesive in that close-by pairs of nodes are assigned to the same cluster with high probability.…
In this paper we study the problem of testing graph isomorphism (GI) in the CONGEST distributed model. In this setting we test whether the distributive network, $G_U$, is isomorphic to $G_K$ which is given as an input to all the nodes in…
This paper focuses on a class of inclusion problems of maximal monotone operators in a multi-agent network, where each agent is characterized by an operator that is not available to any other agents, but the agents can cooperate by…
We study the complexity of fundamental distributed graph problems in the recently popular setting where information about the input graph is available to the nodes before the start of the computation. We focus on the most common such…
