We develop a general deterministic distributed method for locally rounding fractional
solutions of graph problems for which the analysis can be broken down into analyzing pairs …

The power of multi-step vizing chains

ABG Christiansen - Proceedings of the 55th Annual ACM Symposium on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Recent papers have addressed different variants of the (Δ+ 1)-edge-colouring problem by
concatenating or gluing together many Vizing chains to form what Bernshteyn coined multi …

Dynamic algorithms for graph coloring

S Bhattacharya, D Chakrabarty, M Henzinger… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - SIAM
We design fast dynamic algorithms for proper vertex and edge colorings in a graph
