The Complexity of Coloring inCongested Clique, Massively Parallel Computation,and Centralized Local Computation

Yi-Jun Chang, Manuela Fischer, Mohsen Ghaffari +2

We present new randomized algorithms that improve the complexity of the classic -coloring problem, and its generalization -list-coloring, in three well-studied models…

Sparsifying Distributed Algorithms with Ramifications in Massively Parallel Computation and Centralized Local Computation

Mohsen Ghaffari, Jara Uitto

We introduce a method for sparsifying distributed algorithms and exhibit how it leads to improvements that go past known barriers in two algorithmic settings of large-scale graph p…

New Distributed Algorithms in Almost Mixing Time via Transformations from Parallel Algorithms

Mohsen Ghaffari, Jason Li

We show that many classical optimization problems --- such as -approximate maximum flow, shortest path, and transshipment --- can be computed in $\newcommand{\tmix}{τ_{\te…

Improved Distributed -Coloring

Mohsen Ghaffari, Juho Hirvonen, Fabian Kuhn +1

We present a randomized distributed algorithm that computes a -coloring in any non-complete graph with maximum degree in rounds,…

Improved Massively Parallel Computation Algorithms for MIS, Matching, and Vertex Cover

Mohsen Ghaffari, Themis Gouleakis, Christian Konrad +2

We present -round algorithms in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, with memory per machine, that compute a maximal independent set, a $1+…

A Simple Parallel and Distributed Sampling Technique: Local Glauber Dynamics

Manuela Fischer, Mohsen Ghaffari

\emph{Sampling} constitutes an important tool in a variety of areas: from machine learning and combinatorial optimization to computational physics and biology. A central class of s…
