Vizing's theorem states that any $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ can be {\em edge colored} using at most $\Delta + 1$ different colors [Diskret.~Analiz, '64]. Vizing's original proof is algorithmic and shows that such…
We present time-efficient distributed algorithms for decomposing graphs with large edge or vertex connectivity into multiple spanning or dominating trees, respectively. As their primary applications, these decompositions allow us to 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…
Given a graph $G$ and color set $\{1, \ldots, k\}$, a $\textit{proper coloring}$ is an assignment of a color to each vertex of $G$ such that no two vertices connected by an edge are given the same color. The problem of drawing a proper…
The present paper studies local distributed graph problems in highly dynamic networks. Communication and changes of the graph happen in synchronous rounds and our algorithms always, i.e., in every round, satisfy non-trivial guarantees, no…
We present a general framework for constructing error-correcting codes using distributed graph coloring under the LOCAL model. Building on the correspondence between independent sets in the confusion graph and valid codes, we show that the…
We develop deterministic approximation algorithms for the minimum dominating set problem in the CONGEST model with an almost optimal approximation guarantee. For $\epsilon>1/{\text{{poly}}}\log \Delta$ we obtain two algorithms with…
The width measure treedepth, also known as vertex ranking, centered coloring and elimination tree height, is a well-established notion which has recently seen a resurgence of interest. Since graphs of bounded treedepth are more restricted…
We present a randomized algorithm that, given a constant $\epsilon > 0$, outputs a proper $(1+\epsilon)\Delta$-edge-coloring of an $m$-edge simple graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta \geq 1/\epsilon$ in $O(m)$ time with high probability.…
We consider the problem of coloring k-colorable graphs with the fewest possible colors. We present a randomized polynomial time algorithm that colors a 3-colorable graph on $n$ vertices with min O(Delta^{1/3} log^{1/2} Delta log n),…
This paper addresses the cornerstone family of \emph{local problems} in distributed computing, and investigates the curious gap between randomized and deterministic solutions under bandwidth restrictions. Our main contribution is in…
One of the fundamental open problems in the area of distributed graph algorithms is the question of whether randomization is needed for efficient symmetry breaking. While there are fast, $\text{poly}\log n$-time randomized distributed…
We present a time-optimal deterministic distributed algorithm for approximating a minimum weight vertex cover in hypergraphs of rank $f$. This problem is equivalent to the Minimum Weight Set Cover problem in which the frequency of every…
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…
Vertex Descent is a local search algorithm which forms the basis of a wide spectrum of tabu search, simulated annealing and hybrid evolutionary algorithms for graph colouring. These algorithms are usually treated as experimental and provide…
This paper presents near-optimal deterministic parallel and distributed algorithms for computing $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate single-source shortest paths in any undirected weighted graph. On a high level, we deterministically reduce this…
Graph coloring is a challenging combinatorial optimization problem with a wide range of applications. In this paper, a distribution evolutionary algorithm based on a population of probability model (DEA-PPM) is developed to address it…
We consider the expander routing problem formulated by Ghaffari, Kuhn, and Su (PODC 2017), where the goal is to route all the tokens to their destinations given that each vertex is the source and the destination of at most $\deg(v)$ tokens.…
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…
We contribute to the theoretical understanding of randomized search heuristics for dynamic problems. We consider the classical vertex coloring problem on graphs and investigate the dynamic setting where edges are added to the current graph.…
