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 general $(degree+1)$-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 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-s
In the decremental $(1+epsilon)$-approximate Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem, we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n = |V|, m = |E|$, undergoing edge deletions, and a distinguished source $s in V$, and we are asked to process edge deletion
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 $Delta$-col
In this paper we present a deterministic CONGEST algorithm to compute an $O(kDelta)$-vertex coloring in $O(Delta/k)+log^* n$ rounds, where $Delta$ is the maximum degree of the network graph and $1leq kleq O(Delta)$ can be freely chosen. The algorithm
Distributed vertex coloring is one of the classic problems and probably also the most widely studied problems in the area of distributed graph algorithms. We present a new randomized distributed vertex coloring algorithm for the standard CONGEST mode
