Consider a distributed coding for computing problem with constant decoding locality, i.e., with a vanishing error probability, any single sample of the function can be approximately recovered by probing only constant number of compressed…

For many hard computational problems, simple algorithms that run in time $2^n \cdot n^{O(1)}$ arise, say, from enumerating all subsets of a size-$n$ set. Finding (exponentially) faster algorithms is a natural goal that has driven much of…

In this paper we further investigate the well-studied problem of finding a perfect matching in a regular bipartite graph. The first non-trivial algorithm, with running time $O(mn)$, dates back to K\"{o}nig's work in 1916 (here $m=nd$ is the…

We show how to construct an overlay network of constant degree and diameter $O(\log n)$ in time $O(\log n)$ starting from an arbitrary weakly connected graph. We assume a synchronous communication network in which nodes can send messages to…

Data aggregation is a fundamental primitive in distributed computing wherein a network computes a function of every nodes' input. However, while compute time is non-negligible in modern systems, standard models of distributed computing do…

In distributed network computing, a variant of the LOCAL model has been recently introduced, referred to as the SLEEPING model. In this model, nodes have the ability to decide on which round they are awake, and on which round they are…

Complex networks have become increasingly popular for modeling various real-world phenomena. Realistic generative network models are important in this context as they avoid privacy concerns of real data and simplify complex network research…

Motivated by the need for robust and fast distributed computation in highly dynamic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, we study algorithms for the fundamental distributed agreement problem. P2P networks are highly dynamic networks that experience…

A $(\phi,\epsilon)$-expander-decomposition of a graph $G$ (with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges) is a partition of $V$ into clusters $V_1,\ldots,V_k$ with conductance $\Phi(G[V_i]) \ge \phi$, such that there are at most $\epsilon m$…

We address the fundamental network design problem of constructing approximate minimum spanners. Our contributions are for the distributed setting, providing both algorithmic and hardness results. Our main hardness result shows that an…

We present a deterministic $(1+o(1))$-approximation $(n^{1/2+o(1)}+D^{1+o(1)})$-time algorithm for solving the single-source shortest paths problem on distributed weighted networks (the CONGEST model); here $n$ is the number of nodes in the…

Recently [Bhattacharya et al., STOC 2015] provide the first non-trivial algorithm for the densest subgraph problem in the streaming model with additions and deletions to its edges, i.e., for dynamic graph streams. They present a…

In this paper, we consider algorithms for edge-coloring multigraphs $G$ of bounded maximum degree, i.e., $\Delta(G) = O(1)$. Shannon's theorem states that any multigraph of maximum degree $\Delta$ can be properly edge-colored with…

We consider the distributed optimization problem for the sum of convex functions where the underlying communications network connecting agents at each time is drawn at random from a collection of directed graphs. Building on an earlier work…

As the main contribution of this work we present deterministic edge coloring algorithms in the CONGEST model. In particular, we present an algorithm that edge colors any $n$-node graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ with with…

We establish that a simple polynomial-time algorithm that we call reweighted spectral partitioning obtains small 2/3-balanced vertex-separators for a number of graph classes, including $O(\sqrt{n})$-sized separators for planar graphs,…

This paper provides an algorithmic framework for obtaining fast distributed algorithms for a highly-dynamic setting, in which *arbitrarily many* edge changes may occur in each round. Our algorithm significantly improves upon prior work in…

A linearly ordered (LO) $k$-colouring of a hypergraph assigns to each vertex a colour from the set $\{0,1,\ldots,k-1\}$ in such a way that each hyperedge has a unique maximum element. Barto, Batistelli, and Berg conjectured that it is…

The problem addressed in this paper is the analysis of a distributed consensus algorithm for arbitrary networks, proposed by B\'en\'ezit et al.. In the initial setting, each node in the network has one of two possible states ("yes" or…

Consider the following simple coloring algorithm for a graph on $n$ vertices. Each vertex chooses a color from $\{1, \dotsc, \Delta(G) + 1\}$ uniformly at random. While there exists a conflicted vertex choose one such vertex uniformly at…
