Overcoming Congestion in Distributed Coloring

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We present a new technique to efficiently sample and communicate a large number of elements from a distributed sampling space. When used in the context of a recent LOCAL algorithm for (operatornamedegree+1)-list-coloring (D1LC), this allows us to solve D1LC in O(log5logn) CONGEST rounds, and in only O(logn) rounds when the graph has minimum degree Omega(log7n), w.h.p. The technique also has immediate applications in testing some graph properties locally, and for estimating the sparsity/density of local subgraphs in O(1) CONGEST rounds, w.h.p.
