We present $O(loglog n)$ round scalable Massively Parallel Computation algorithms for maximal independent set and maximal matching, in trees and more generally graphs of bounded arboricity, as well as for constant coloring trees. Following the standards, by a scalable MPC algorithm, we mean that these algorithms can work on machines that have capacity/memory as small as $n^{delta}$ for any positive constant $delta<1$. Our results improve over the $O(log^2log n)$ round algorithms of Behnezhad et al. [PODC19]. Moreover, our matching algorithm is presumably optimal as its bound matches an $Omega(loglog n)$ conditional lower bound of Ghaffari, Kuhn, and Uitto [FOCS19].

In this paper we study fractional coloring from the angle of distributed computing. Fractional coloring is the linear relaxation of the classical notion of coloring, and has many applications, in particular in scheduling. It was proved by Hasemann, H
irvonen, Rybicki and Suomela (2016) that for every real $alpha>1$ and integer $Delta$, a fractional coloring of total weight at most $alpha(Delta+1)$ can be obtained deterministically in a single round in graphs of maximum degree $Delta$, in the LOCAL model of computation. However, a major issue of this result is that the output of each vertex has unbounded size. Here we prove that even if we impose the more realistic assumption that the output of each vertex has constant size, we can find fractional colorings of total weight arbitrarily close to known tight bounds for the fractional chromatic number in several cases of interest. More precisely, we show that for any fixed $epsilon > 0$ and $Delta$, a fractional coloring of total weight at most $Delta+epsilon$ can be found in $O(log^*n)$ rounds in graphs of maximum degree $Delta$ with no $K_{Delta+1}$, while finding a fractional coloring of total weight at most $Delta$ in this case requires $Omega(log log n)$ rounds for randomized algorithms and $Omega( log n)$ rounds for deterministic algorithms. We also show how to obtain fractional colorings of total weight at most $2+epsilon$ in grids of any fixed dimension, for any $epsilon>0$, in $O(log^*n)$ rounds. Finally, we prove that in sparse graphs of large girth from any proper minor-closed family we can find a fractional coloring of total weight at most $2+epsilon$, for any $epsilon>0$, in $O(log n)$ rounds.
Recently, Balliu, Brandt, and Olivetti [FOCS 20] showed the first $omega(log^* n)$ lower bound for the maximal independent set (MIS) problem in trees. In this work we prove lower bounds for a much more relaxed family of distributed symmetry breaking
problems. As a by-product, we obtain improved lower bounds for the distributed MIS problem in trees. For a parameter $k$ and an orientation of the edges of a graph $G$, we say that a subset $S$ of the nodes of $G$ is a $k$-outdegree dominating set if $S$ is a dominating set of $G$ and if in the induced subgraph $G[S]$, every node in $S$ has outdegree at most $k$. Note that for $k=0$, this definition coincides with the definition of an MIS. For a given $k$, we consider the problem of computing a $k$-outdegree dominating set. We show that, even in regular trees of degree at most $Delta$, in the standard LOCAL model, there exists a constant $epsilon>0$ such that for $kleq Delta^epsilon$, for the problem of computing a $k$-outdegree dominating set, any randomized algorithm requires at least $Omega(min{logDelta,sqrt{loglog n}})$ rounds and any deterministic algorithm requires at least $Omega(min{logDelta,sqrt{log n}})$ rounds. The proof of our lower bounds is based on the recently highly successful round elimination technique. We provide a novel way to do simplifications for round elimination, which we expect to be of independent interest. Our new proof is considerably simpler than the lower bound proof in [FOCS 20]. In particular, our round elimination proof uses a family of problems that can be described by only a constant number of labels. The existence of such a proof for the MIS problem was believed impossible by the authors of [FOCS 20].
A distributed proof (also known as local certification, or proof-labeling scheme) is a mechanism to certify that the solution to a graph problem is correct. It takes the form of an assignment of labels to the nodes, that can be checked locally. There
exists such a proof for the minimum spanning tree problem, using $O(log n log W)$ bit labels (where $n$ is the number of nodes in the graph, and $W$ is the largest weight of an edge). This is due to Korman and Kutten who describe it in concise and formal manner in [Korman and Kutten 07]. In this note, we propose a more intuitive description of the result, as well as a gentle introduction to the problem.
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].
We show that the $(degree+1)$-list coloring problem can be solved deterministically in $O(D cdot log n cdotlog^2Delta)$ rounds in the CONGEST model, where $D$ is the diameter of the graph, $n$ the number of nodes, and $Delta$ the maximum degree. Usin
g the recent polylogarithmic-time deterministic network decomposition algorithm by Rozhov{n} and Ghaffari [STOC 2020], this implies the first efficient (i.e., $polylog n$-time) deterministic CONGEST algorithm for the $(Delta+1)$-coloring and the $(mathit{degree}+1)$-list coloring problem. Previously the best known algorithm required $2^{O(sqrt{log n})}$ rounds and was not based on network decompositions. Our techniques also lead to deterministic $(mathit{degree}+1)$-list coloring algorithms for the congested clique and the massively parallel computation (MPC) model. For the congested clique, we obtain an algorithm with time complexity $O(logDeltacdotloglogDelta)$, for the MPC model, we obtain algorithms with round complexity $O(log^2Delta)$ for the linear-memory regime and $O(log^2Delta + log n)$ for the sublinear memory regime.
