An Optimal Distributed -Coloring Algorithm?

Yi-Jun Chang, Wenzheng Li, Seth Pettie

Vertex coloring is one of the classic symmetry breaking problems studied in distributed computing. In this paper we present a new algorithm for -list coloring in the randomi…

The Energy Complexity of Broadcast

Yi-Jun Chang, Varsha Dani, Thomas P. Hayes +3

Energy is often the most constrained resource in networks of battery-powered devices, and as devices become smaller, they spend a larger fraction of their energy on communication (…

Distributed Edge Coloring with Small Palettes and a Special Case of the Constructive Lovász Local Lemma

Yi-Jun Chang, Qizheng He, Wenzheng Li +2

We explore the complexity of edge coloring in the LOCAL model in different palette size regimes. 1. Lower Bounds: First, we simplify the round elimination technique of Brandt et al…

Approximate Generalized Matching: -Factors and -Edge Covers

Dawei Huang, Seth Pettie

In this paper we present linear time approximation schemes for several generalized matching problems on nonbipartite graphs. Our results include -time algorithms for $(1-ε)…

Thorup-Zwick Emulators are Universally Optimal Hopsets

Shang-En Huang, Seth Pettie

A - is, informally, a weighted edge set that, when added to a graph, allows one to get from point to point using a path with at most edges ("hop…

A Time Hierarchy Theorem for the LOCAL Model

Yi-Jun Chang, Seth Pettie

The celebrated Time Hierarchy Theorem for Turing machines states, informally, that more problems can be solved given more time. The extent to which a time hierarchy-type theorem ho…
