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 model, where the network is modeled as an $n$-node graph $G$, and where the nodes of $G$ operate in synchronous communication rounds in which they can exchange $O(log n)$-bit messages over all the edges of $G$. For graphs with maximum degree $Delta$, we show that the $(Delta+1)$-list coloring problem (and therefore also the standard $(Delta+1)$-coloring problem) can be solved in $O(log^5log n)$ rounds. Previously such a result was only known for the significantly more powerful LOCAL model, where in each round, neighboring nodes can exchange messages of arbitrary size. The best previous $(Delta+1)$-coloring algorithm in the CONGEST model had a running time of $O(logDelta + log^6log n)$ rounds. As a function of $n$ alone, the best previous algorithm therefore had a round complexity of $O(log n)$, which is a bound that can also be achieved by a na{i}ve folklore algorithm. For large maximum degree $Delta$, our algorithm hence is an exponential improvement over the previous state of the art.

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
oring 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].
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
is extremely simple: Each node locally computes a sequence of colors and then it tries colors from the sequence in batches of size $k$. Our algorithm subsumes many important results in the history of distributed graph coloring as special cases, including Linials color reduction [Linial, FOCS87], the celebrated locally iterative algorithm from [Barenboim, Elkin, Goldenberg, PODC18], and various algorithms to compute defective and arbdefective colorings. Our algorithm can smoothly scale between these and also simplifies the state of the art $(Delta+1)$-coloring algorithm. At the cost of losing the full algorithms simplicity we also provide a $O(kDelta)$-coloring algorithm in $O(sqrt{Delta/k})+log^* n$ rounds. We also provide improved deterministic algorithms for ruling sets, and, additionally, we provide a tight characterization for one-round color reduction algorithms.
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.
We give efficient distributed algorithms for the minimum vertex cover problem in bipartite graphs in the CONGEST model. From KH{o}nigs theorem, it is well known that in bipartite graphs the size of a minimum vertex cover is equal to the size of a max
imum matching. We first show that together with an existing $O(nlog n)$-round algorithm for computing a maximum matching, the constructive proof of KH{o}nigs theorem directly leads to a deterministic $O(nlog n)$-round CONGEST algorithm for computing a minimum vertex cover. We then show that by adapting the construction, we can also convert an emph{approximate} maximum matching into an emph{approximate} minimum vertex cover. Given a $(1-delta)$-approximate matching for some $delta>1$, we show that a $(1+O(delta))$-approximate vertex cover can be computed in time $O(D+mathrm{poly}(frac{log n}{delta}))$, where $D$ is the diameter of the graph. When combining with known graph clustering techniques, for any $varepsilonin(0,1]$, this leads to a $mathrm{poly}(frac{log n}{varepsilon})$-time deterministic and also to a slightly faster and simpler randomized $O(frac{log n}{varepsilon^3})$-round CONGEST algorithm for computing a $(1+varepsilon)$-approximate vertex cover in bipartite graphs. For constant $varepsilon$, the randomized time complexity matches the $Omega(log n)$ lower bound for computing a $(1+varepsilon)$-approximate vertex cover in bipartite graphs even in the LOCAL model. Our results are also in contrast to the situation in general graphs, where it is known that computing an optimal vertex cover requires $tilde{Omega}(n^2)$ rounds in the CONGEST model and where it is not even known how to compute any $(2-varepsilon)$-approximation in time $o(n^2)$.
We give efficient randomized and deterministic distributed algorithms for computing a distance-$2$ vertex coloring of a graph $G$ in the CONGEST model. In particular, if $Delta$ is the maximum degree of $G$, we show that there is a randomized CONGEST
model algorithm to compute a distance-$2$ coloring of $G$ with $Delta^2+1$ colors in $O(logDeltacdotlog n)$ rounds. Further if the number of colors is slightly increased to $(1+epsilon)Delta^2$ for some $epsilon>1/{rm polylog}(n)$, we show that it is even possible to compute a distance-$2$ coloring deterministically in polylog$(n)$ time in the CONGEST model. Finally, we give a $O(Delta^2 + log^* n)$-round deterministic CONGEST algorithm to compute distance-$2$ coloring with $Delta^2+1$ colors.
