Sparsification for Communication-Efficient Distributed Symmetry-Breaking

Explore sparsification techniques for enhancing communication efficiency in distributed symmetry-breaking algorithms during this 32-minute lecture by Yannic Maus from TU Graz. Delve into various approaches designed specifically for the CONGEST model, with a primary focus on local symmetry-breaking challenges such as graph coloring, ruling sets, and the Lovász Local Lemma. Gain insights into sublinear graph simplification methods and their applications in improving algorithmic performance in distributed computing environments.
