Fast Algorithms for Energy Games in Special Cases

Sebastian Forster, Antonis Skarlatos, Tijn de Vos

In this paper, we study algorithms for special cases of energy games, a class of turn-based games on graphs that show up in the quantitative analysis of reactive systems. In an ene…

Minor Sparsifiers and the Distributed Laplacian Paradigm

Sebastian Forster, Gramoz Goranci, Yang P. Liu +3

We study distributed algorithms built around minor-based vertex sparsifiers, and give the first algorithm in the CONGEST model for solving linear systems in graph Laplacian matrice…

A Deamortization Approach for Dynamic Spanner and Dynamic Maximal Matching

Aaron Bernstein, Sebastian Forster, Monika Henzinger

Many dynamic graph algorithms have an amortized update time, rather than a stronger worst-case guarantee. But amortized data structures are not suitable for real-time systems, wher…

Dynamic Low-Stretch Trees via Dynamic Low-Diameter Decompositions

Sebastian Forster, Gramoz Goranci

Spanning trees of low average stretch on the non-tree edges, as introduced by Alon et al. [SICOMP 1995], are a natural graph-theoretic object. In recent years, they have found sign…

A Note on Hardness of Diameter Approximation

Karl Bringmann, Sebastian Krinninger

We revisit the hardness of approximating the diameter of a network. In the CONGEST model of distributed computing, rounds are necessary to compute the diameter [Fri…

Breaking the log n barrier on rumor spreading

Chen Avin, Robert Elsässer

rounds has been a well known upper bound for rumor spreading using push&pull in the random phone call model (i.e., uniform gossip in the complete graph). A matching low…

On the Influence of Graph Density on Randomized Gossiping

Robert Elsässer, Dominik Kaaser

Information dissemination is a fundamental problem in parallel and distributed computing. In its simplest variant, the broadcasting problem, a message has to be spread among all no…

The Power of Two Choices in Distributed Voting

Colin Cooper, Robert Elsässer, Tomasz Radzik

Distributed voting is a fundamental topic in distributed computing. In pull voting, in each step every vertex chooses a neighbour uniformly at random, and adopts its opinion. The v…
