Approximating the Minimum Spanning Tree Weight in Sublinear Time
We present a probabilistic algorithm that, given a connected graph G (represented by adjacency lists) of average degree d, with edge weights in the set {1, . . . , w}, and given a ...

Online Conflict-Free Colorings for Hypergraphs
We provide a framework for online conflict-free coloring (CF-coloring) of any hypergraph. We use this framework to obtain an efficient randomized online algorithm for CF-coloring ...

A Functional Approach to External Graph Algorithms
We present a new approach for designing external graph algorithms and use it to design simple, deterministic and randomized external algorithms for computing connected components, ...

Minimum Cuts in Near-Linear Time
We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a "semiduality" between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree...

Impatient Backoff Algorithm: Fairness in a Distributed Ad-Hoc MAC
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
