Improved Distributed $\Delta$-Coloring

چکیده
We present a randomized distributed algorithm that computes a ∆-coloring in any noncomplete graph with maximum degree ∆ ≥ 4 in O(log∆) + 2 √ log logn) rounds, as well as a randomized algorithm that computes a ∆-coloring in O((log logn)) rounds when ∆ ∈ [3, O(1)]. Both these algorithms improve on an O(log n/ log∆)-round algorithm of Panconesi and Srinivasan [STOC’1993], which has remained the state of the art for the past 25 years. Moreover, the latter algorithm gets (exponentially) closer to an Ω(log logn) round lower bound of Brandt et al. [STOC’16]. Supported by ERC Grant No. 336495 (ACDC) and Ulla Tuominen Foundation.

k-forested choosability of graphs with bounded maximum average degree
A proper vertex coloring of a simple graph is $k$-forested if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is a forest with maximum degree less than $k$. A graph is $k$-forested $q$-choosable if for a given list of $q$ colors associated with each vertex $v$, there exists a $k$-forested coloring of $G$ such that each vertex receives a color from its own list. In this paper, we prov...
متن کاملDistributed $(\Delta+1)$-Coloring in Sublogarithmic Rounds
The (∆+1)-coloring problem is a fundamental symmetry breaking problem in distributed computing. We give a new randomized coloring algorithm for (∆ + 1)-coloring running in O( √ log ∆) + 2O( √ log logn) rounds with probability 1 − 1/nΩ(1) in a graph with n nodes and maximum degree ∆. This implies that the (∆ + 1)-coloring problem is easier than the maximal independent set problem and the maximal...
متن کاملDeterministic Distributed (Delta + o(Delta))-Edge-Coloring, and Vertex-Coloring of Graphs with Bounded Diversity
In the distributed message-passing setting a communication network is represented by a graph whose vertices represent processors that perform local computations and communicate over the edges of the graph. In the distributed edge-coloring problem the processors are required to assign colors to edges, such that all edges incident on the same vertex are assigned distinct colors. The previouslykno...
متن کاملSimple Distributed Delta + 1 Coloring in the SINR Model
In wireless ad hoc or sensor networks, distributed node coloring is a fundamental problem closely related to establishing efficient communication through TDMA schedules. For networks with maximum degree ∆, a ∆ + 1 coloring is the ultimate goal in the distributed setting as this is always possible. In this work we propose ∆ + 1 coloring algorithms for the synchronous and asynchronous setting. Al...
متن کاملOn Derandomizing Local Distributed Algorithms
The gap between the known randomized and deterministic local distributed algorithms underlies arguably the most fundamental and central open question in distributed graph algorithms. In this paper, we develop a generic and clean recipe for derandomizing randomized LOCAL algorithms and transforming them into efficient deterministic LOCAL algorithm. We also exhibit how this simple recipe leads to...
