We study distributed composite optimization over networks: agents minimize a sum of smooth (strongly) convex functions, the agents' sum-utility, plus a nonsmooth (extended-valued) convex one. We propose a general unified algorithmic…
Finding strongly connected components (SCCs) and the diameter of a directed network play a key role in a variety of discrete optimization problems, and subsequently, machine learning and control theory problems. On the one hand, SCCs are…
Expander decompositions have become one of the central frameworks in the design of fast algorithms. For an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a near-optimal $\phi$-expander decomposition is a partition $V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k$ of the vertex set $V$…
A prominent tool in many problems involving metric spaces is a notion of randomized low-diameter decomposition. Loosely speaking, $\beta$-decomposition refers to a probability distribution over partitions of the metric into sets of low…
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…
In this paper, we present a low-diameter decomposition algorithm in the LOCAL model of distributed computing that succeeds with probability $1 - 1/poly(n)$. Specifically, we show how to compute an $\left(\epsilon, O\left(\frac{\log…
The minimum-weight $2$-edge-connected spanning subgraph (2-ECSS) problem is a natural generalization of the well-studied minimum-weight spanning tree (MST) problem, and it has received considerable attention in the area of network design.…
We present a universally-optimal distributed algorithm for the exact weighted min-cut. The algorithm is guaranteed to complete in $\widetilde{O}(D + \sqrt{n})$ rounds on every graph, recovering the recent result of Dory, Efron,…
We show a deterministic algorithm for computing edge connectivity of a simple graph with $m$ edges in $m^{1+o(1)}$ time. Although the fastest deterministic algorithm by Henzinger, Rao, and Wang [SODA'17] has a faster running time of…
In this paper, we study systems of distributed entities that can actively modify their communication network. This gives rise to distributed algorithms that apart from communication can also exploit network reconfiguration in order to carry…
The celebrated palette sparsification result of [Assadi, Chen, and Khanna SODA'19] shows that to compute a $\Delta+1$ coloring of the graph, where $\Delta$ denotes the maximum degree, it suffices if each node limits its color choice to…
We use network coding to improve the speed of distributed computation in the dynamic network model of Kuhn, Lynch and Oshman [STOC '10]. In this model an adversary adaptively chooses a new network topology in every round, making even basic…
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…
We describe approximation algorithms in Linial's classic LOCAL model of distributed computing to find maximum-weight matchings in a hypergraph of rank $r$. Our main result is a deterministic algorithm to generate a matching which is an…
The well-known clustering algorithm of Miller, Peng, and Xu (SPAA 2013) is useful for many applications, including low-diameter decomposition and low-energy distributed algorithms. One nice property of their clustering, shown in previous…
Distributed network optimization algorithms, such as minimum spanning tree, minimum cut, and shortest path, are an active research area in distributed computing. This paper presents a fast distributed algorithm for such problems in the…
An $(\epsilon,\phi)$-expander decomposition of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a clustering of the vertices $V=V_{1}\cup\cdots\cup V_{x}$ such that (1) each cluster $V_{i}$ induces subgraph with conductance at least $\phi$, and (2) the number of…
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 show that the VC-dimension of a graph can be computed in time $n^{\log d+1} d^{O(d)}$, where $d$ is the degeneracy of the input graph. The core idea of our algorithm is a data structure to efficiently query the number of vertices that…
Over the last decade, PageRank has gained importance in a wide range of applications and domains, ever since it first proved to be effective in determining node importance in large graphs (and was a pioneering idea behind Google's search…
