A recent palette sparsification theorem of Assadi, Chen, and Khanna [SODA19] states that in every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with maximum degree $Delta$, sampling $O(log{n})$ colors per each vertex independently from $Delta+1$ colors almost certainly allows for proper coloring of $G$ from the sampled colors. Besides being a combinatorial statement of its own independent interest, this theorem was shown to have various applications to design of algorithms for $(Delta+1)$ coloring in different models of computation on massive graphs such as streaming or sublinear-time algorithms. In this paper, we further study palette sparsification problems: * We prove that for $(1+varepsilon) Delta$ coloring, sampling only $O_{varepsilon}(sqrt{log{n}})$ colors per vertex is sufficient and necessary to obtain a proper coloring from the sampled colors. * A natural family of graphs with chromatic number much smaller than $(Delta+1)$ are triangle-free graphs which are $O(frac{Delta}{ln{Delta}})$ colorable. We prove that sampling $O(Delta^{gamma} + sqrt{log{n}})$ colors per vertex is sufficient and necessary to obtain a proper $O_{gamma}(frac{Delta}{ln{Delta}})$ coloring of triangle-free graphs. * We show that sampling $O_{varepsilon}(log{n})$ colors per vertex is sufficient for proper coloring of any graph with high probability whenever each vertex is sampling from a list of $(1+varepsilon) cdot deg(v)$ arbitrary colors, or even only $deg(v)+1$ colors when the lists are the sets ${1,ldots,deg(v)+1}$. Similar to previous work, our new palette sparsification results naturally lead to a host of new and/or improved algorithms for vertex coloring in different models including streaming and sublinear-time algorithms.

We consider a decentralized graph coloring model where each vertex only knows its own color and whether some neighbor has the same color as it. The networking community has studied this model extensively due to its applications to channel selection, rate adaptation, etc. Here, we analyze variants of a simple algorithm of Bhartia et al. [Proc., ACM MOBIHOC, 2016]. In particular, we introduce a variant which requires only $O(nlogDelta)$ expected recolorings that generalizes the coupon collector problem. Finally, we show that the $O(nDelta)$ bound Bhartia et al. achieve for their algorithm still holds and is tight in adversarial scenarios.
Graph compression or sparsification is a basic information-theoretic and computational question. A major open problem in this research area is whether $(1+epsilon)$-approximate cut-preserving vertex sparsifiers with size close to the number of terminals exist. As a step towards this goal, we study a thresholded version of the problem: for a given parameter $c$, find a smaller graph, which we call connectivity-$c$ mimicking network, which preserves connectivity among $k$ terminals exactly up to the value of $c$. We show that connectivity-$c$ mimicking networks with $O(kc^4)$ edges exist and can be found in time $m(clog n)^{O(c)}$. We also give a separate algorithm that constructs such graphs with $k cdot O(c)^{2c}$ edges in time $mc^{O(c)}log^{O(1)}n$. These results lead to the first data structures for answering fully dynamic offline $c$-edge-connectivity queries for $c ge 4$ in polylogarithmic time per query, as well as more efficient algorithms for survivable network design on bounded treewidth graphs.
The problem of (vertex) $(Delta+1)$-coloring a graph of maximum degree $Delta$ has been extremely well-studied over the years in various settings and models. Surprisingly, for the dynamic setting, almost nothing was known until recently. In SODA18, Bhattacharya, Chakrabarty, Henzinger and Nanongkai devised a randomized data structure for maintaining a $(Delta+1)$-coloring with $O(log Delta)$ expected amortized update time. In this paper, we present a $(Delta+1)$-coloring data structure that achieves a constant amortized update time and show that this time bound holds not only in expectation but also with high probability.
We present a randomized distributed algorithm that computes a $Delta$-coloring in any non-complete graph with maximum degree $Delta geq 4$ in $O(log Delta) + 2^{O(sqrt{loglog n})}$ rounds, as well as a randomized algorithm that computes a $Delta$-coloring in $O((log log n)^2)$ rounds when $Delta in [3, O(1)]$. Both these algorithms improve on an $O(log^3 n/log Delta)$-round algorithm of Panconesi and Srinivasan~[STOC1993], which has remained the state of the art for the past 25 years. Moreover, the latter algorithm gets (exponentially) closer to an $Omega(loglog n)$ round lower bound of Brandt et al.~[STOC16].
We introduce and study finite $d$-volumes - the high dimensional generalization of finite metric spaces. Having developed a suitable combinatorial machinery, we define $ell_1$-volumes and show that they contain Euclidean volumes and hypertree volumes. We show that they can approximate any $d$-volume with $O(n^d)$ multiplicative distortion. On the other hand, contrary to Bourgains theorem for $d=1$, there exists a $2$-volume that on $n$ vertices that cannot be approximated by any $ell_1$-volume with distortion smaller than $tilde{Omega}(n^{1/5})$. We further address the problem of $ell_1$-dimension reduction in the context of $ell_1$ volumes, and show that this phenomenon does occur, although not to the same striking degree as it does for Euclidean metrics and volumes. In particular, we show that any $ell_1$ metric on $n$ points can be $(1+ epsilon)$-approximated by a sum of $O(n/epsilon^2)$ cut metrics, improving over the best previously known bound of $O(n log n)$ due to Schechtman. In order to deal with dimension reduction, we extend the techniques and ideas introduced by Karger and Bencz{u}r, and Spielman et al.~in the context of graph Sparsification, and develop general methods with a wide range of applications.
