Network decomposition is a central tool in distributed graph algorithms. We present two improvements on the state of the art for network decomposition, which thus lead to improvements in the (deterministic and randomized) complexity of several well-studied graph problems. - We provide a deterministic distributed network decomposition algorithm with $O(log^5 n)$ round complexity, using $O(log n)$-bit messages. This improves on the $O(log^7 n)$-round algorithm of Rozhov{n} and Ghaffari [STOC20], which used large messages, and their $O(log^8 n)$-round algorithm with $O(log n)$-bit messages. This directly leads to similar improvements for a wide range of deterministic and randomized distributed algorithms, whose solution relies on network decomposition, including the general distributed derandomization of Ghaffari, Kuhn, and Harris [FOCS18]. - One drawback of the algorithm of Rozhov{n} and Ghaffari, in the $mathsf{CONGEST}$ model, was its dependence on the length of the identifiers. Because of this, for instance, the algorithm could not be used in the shattering framework in the $mathsf{CONGEST}$ model. Thus, the state of the art randomized complexity of several problems in this model remained with an additive $2^{O(sqrt{loglog n})}$ term, which was a clear leftover of the older network decomposition complexity [Panconesi and Srinivasan STOC92]. We present a modified version that remedies this, constructing a decomposition whose quality does not depend on the identifiers, and thus improves the randomized round complexity for various problems.

We present a simple deterministic distributed algorithm that computes a $(Delta+1)$-vertex coloring in $O(log^2 Delta cdot log n)$ rounds. The algorithm can be implemented with $O(log n)$-bit messages. The algorithm can also be extended to the more g eneral $(degree+1)$-list coloring problem. Obtaining a polylogarithmic-time deterministic algorithm for $(Delta+1)$-vertex coloring had remained a central open question in the area of distributed graph algorithms since the 1980s, until a recent network decomposition algorithm of Rozhov{n} and Ghaffari [STOC20]. The current state of the art is based on an improved variant of their decomposition, which leads to an $O(log^5 n)$-round algorithm for $(Delta+1)$-vertex coloring. Our coloring algorithm is completely different and considerably simpler and faster. It solves the coloring problem in a direct way, without using network decomposition, by gradually rounding a certain fractional color assignment until reaching an integral color assignments. Moreover, via the approach of Chang, Li, and Pettie [STOC18], this improved deterministic algorithm also leads to an improvement in the complexity of randomized algorithms for $(Delta+1)$-coloring, now reaching the bound of $O(log^3log n)$ rounds. As a further application, we also provide faster deterministic distributed algorithms for the following variants of the vertex coloring problem. In graphs of arboricity $a$, we show that a $(2+epsilon)a$-vertex coloring can be computed in $O(log^3 acdotlog n)$ rounds. We also show that for $Deltageq 3$, a $Delta$-coloring of a $Delta$-colorable graph $G$ can be computed in $O(log^2 Deltacdotlog^2 n)$ rounds.
Network decomposition is a central concept in the study of distributed graph algorithms. We present the first polylogarithmic-round deterministic distributed algorithm with small messages that constructs a strong-diameter network decomposition with p olylogarithmic parameters. Concretely, a ($C$, $D$) strong-diameter network decomposition is a partitioning of the nodes of the graph into disjoint clusters, colored with $C$ colors, such that neighboring clusters have different colors and the subgraph induced by each cluster has a diameter at most $D$. In the weak-diameter variant, the requirement is relaxed by measuring the diameter of each cluster in the original graph, instead of the subgraph induced by the cluster. A recent breakthrough of Rozhov{n} and Ghaffari [STOC 2020] presented the first $text{poly}(log n)$-round deterministic algorithm for constructing a weak-diameter network decomposition where $C$ and $D$ are both in $text{poly}(log n)$. Their algorithm uses small $O(log n)$-bit messages. One can transform their algorithm to a strong-diameter network decomposition algorithm with similar parameters. However, that comes at the expense of requiring unbounded messages. The key remaining qualitative question in the study of network decompositions was whether one can achieve a similar result for strong-diameter network decompositions using small messages. We resolve this question by presenting a novel technique that can transform any black-box weak-diameter network decomposition algorithm to a strong-diameter one, using small messages and with only moderate loss in the parameters.
This paper gives a new deterministic algorithm for the dynamic Minimum Spanning Forest (MSF) problem in the EREW PRAM model, where the goal is to maintain a MSF of a weighted graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges while supporting edge insertions and deletions. We show that one can solve the dynamic MSF problem using $O(sqrt n)$ processors and $O(log n)$ worst-case update time, for a total of $O(sqrt n log n)$ work. This improves on the work of Ferragina [IPPS 1995] which costs $O(log n)$ worst-case update time and $O(n^{2/3} log{frac{m}{n}})$ work.
An $(epsilon,phi)$-expander decomposition of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a clustering of the vertices $V=V_{1}cupcdotscup V_{x}$ such that (1) each cluster $V_{i}$ induces subgraph with conductance at least $phi$, and (2) the number of inter-cluster edges i s at most $epsilon|E|$. In this paper, we give an improved distributed expander decomposition. Specifically, we construct an $(epsilon,phi)$-expander decomposition with $phi=(epsilon/log n)^{2^{O(k)}}$ in $O(n^{2/k}cdottext{poly}(1/phi,log n))$ rounds for any $epsilonin(0,1)$ and positive integer $k$. For example, a $(0.01,1/text{poly}log n)$-expander decomposition can be computed in $O(n^{gamma})$ rounds, for any arbitrarily small constant $gamma>0$. Previously, the algorithm by Chang, Pettie, and Zhang can construct a $(1/6,1/text{poly}log n)$-expander decomposition using $tilde{O}(n^{1-delta})$ rounds for any $delta>0$, with a caveat that the algorithm is allowed to throw away a set of edges into an extra part which forms a subgraph with arboricity at most $n^{delta}$. Our algorithm does not have this caveat. By slightly modifying the distributed algorithm for routing on expanders by Ghaffari, Kuhn and Su [PODC17], we obtain a triangle enumeration algorithm using $tilde{O}(n^{1/3})$ rounds. This matches the lower bound by Izumi and Le Gall [PODC17] and Pandurangan, Robinson and Scquizzato [SPAA18] of $tilde{Omega}(n^{1/3})$ which holds even in the CONGESTED CLIQUE model. This provides the first non-trivial example for a distributed problem that has essentially the same complexity (up to a polylogarithmic factor) in both CONGEST and CONGESTED CLIQUE. The key technique in our proof is the first distributed approximation algorithm for finding a low conductance cut that is as balanced as possible. Previous distributed sparse cut algorithms do not have this nearly most balanced guarantee.
Network decompositions, as introduced by Awerbuch, Luby, Goldberg, and Plotkin [FOCS89], are one of the key algorithmic tools in distributed graph algorithms. We present an improved deterministic distributed algorithm for constructing network decompo sitions of power graphs using small messages, which improves upon the algorithm of Ghaffari and Kuhn [DISC18]. In addition, we provide a randomized distributed network decomposition algorithm, based on our deterministic algorithm, with failure probability exponentially small in the input size that works with small messages as well. Compared to the previous algorithm of Elkin and Neiman [PODC16], our algorithm achieves a better success probability at the expense of its round complexity, while giving a network decomposition of the same quality. As a consequence of the randomized algorithm for network decomposition, we get a faster randomized algorithm for computing a Maximal Independent Set, improving on a result of Ghaffari [SODA19]. Other implications of our improved deterministic network decomposition algorithm are: a faster deterministic distributed algorithms for constructing spanners and approximations of distributed set cover, improving results of Ghaffari, and Kuhn [DISC18] and Deurer, Kuhn, and Maus [PODC19]; and faster a deterministic distributed algorithm for constructing neighborhood covers, resolving an open question of Elkin [SODA04].
