We investigate the distributed complexity of maximal matching and maximal independent set (MIS) in hypergraphs in the LOCAL model. A maximal matching of a hypergraph $H=(V_H,E_H)$ is a maximal disjoint set $M\subseteq E_H$ of hyperedges and…

A central theme in sublinear graph algorithms is the relationship between counting and sampling: can the ability to approximately count a combinatorial structure be leveraged to sample it nearly uniformly at essentially the same cost? We…

A graph $H$ is {\em $p$-edge colorable} if there is a coloring $\psi: E(H) \rightarrow \{1,2,\dots,p\}$, such that for distinct $uv, vw \in E(H)$, we have $\psi(uv) \neq \psi(vw)$. The {\sc Maximum Edge-Colorable Subgraph} problem takes as…

This work focuses on the problem of learning an unknown $3$-uniform hypergraph using edge-detecting queries. Our goal is to design a querying strategy that recovers the hyperedge set using as few queries as possible. We restrict our…

The distributed coloring problem is arguably one of the key problems studied in the area of distributed graph algorithms. The most standard variant of the problem asks for a proper vertex coloring of a graph with $\Delta+1$ colors, where…

In the online disjoint set covers problem, the edges of a hypergraph are revealed online, and the goal is to partition them into a maximum number of disjoint set covers. That is, n nodes of a hypergraph are given at the beginning, and then…

Clustering is a fundamental task in both machine learning and data mining. Among various methods, edge-colored clustering (ECC) has emerged as a useful approach for handling categorical data. Given a hypergraph with (hyper)edges labeled by…

We study the problem of counting $k$-hypergraphlets, an interesting but surprisingly ignored primitive, with the aim of understanding whether efficient algorithms exist. To this end, we consider color coding, a well-known technique for…

Vertex coloring is one of the classic symmetry breaking problems studied in distributed computing. In this paper we present a new algorithm for $(\Delta+1)$-list coloring in the randomized ${\sf LOCAL}$ model running in…

Let $H =(\mathcal{M} \cup \mathcal{J} ,E \cup \mathcal{E})$ be a hypergraph with two hypervertices $\mathcal{G}_1$ and $\mathcal{G}_2$ where $\mathcal{M} =\mathcal{G}_{1} \cup \mathcal{G}_{2}$ and $\mathcal{G}_{1} \cap \mathcal{G}_{2}…

For a hypergraph ${\mathcal H} = (V,{\mathcal E})$, its $d$--fold symmetric product is $\Delta^d {\mathcal H} = (V^d,\{E^d |E \in {\mathcal E}\})$. We give several upper and lower bounds for the $c$-color discrepancy of such products. In…

We study the problem of efficiently certifying upper bounds on the independence number of $\ell$-uniform hypergraphs. This is a notoriously hard problem, with efficient algorithms failing to approximate the independence number within…

We study the \emph{sensitivity oracles problem for subgraph connectivity} in the \emph{decremental} and \emph{fully dynamic} settings. In the fully dynamic setting, we preprocess an $n$-vertices $m$-edges undirected graph $G$ with $n_{\rm…

We study the problem of estimating the number of edges in an unknown graph. We consider a hybrid model in which an algorithm may issue independent set, degree, and neighbor queries. We show that this model admits strictly more efficient…

We revisit once more the problem of designing an oracle for answering connectivity queries in undirected graphs in the presence of vertex failures. Specifically, given an undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges and an integer…

$ \renewcommand{\tilde}{\widetilde} $We present an $\tilde{O}(\log^2 n)$ round deterministic distributed algorithm for the maximal independent set problem. By known reductions, this round complexity extends also to maximal matching,…

We give deterministic distributed $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithms for Minimum Vertex Coloring and Maximum Independent Set on chordal graphs in the LOCAL model. Our coloring algorithm runs in $O(\frac{1}{\epsilon} \log n)$ rounds,…

We obtain better algorithms for computing more balanced orientations and degree splits in LOCAL. Important to our result is a connection to the hypergraph sinkless orientation problem [BMNSU, SODA'25] We design an algorithm of complexity…

We revisit the vertex-failure connectivity oracle problem. This is one of the most basic graph data structure problems under vertex updates, yet its complexity is still not well-understood. We essentially settle the complexity of this…

We study the task of estimating the number of edges in a graph with access to only an independent set oracle. Independent set queries draw motivation from group testing and have applications to the complexity of decision versus counting…
