Brief Announcement: The Minimum Failure Detector for Non-Local Tasks in Message-Passing Systems
This paper defines the basic notions of local and non-local tasks, and determines the minimum information about failures that is necessary to solve any non-local task in message-p...

Local Computation of Nearly Additive Spanners
Abstract. An (α, β)-spanner of a graph G is a subgraph H that approximates distances in G within a multiplicative factor α and an additive error β, ensuring that for any two no...

Compact Routing in Power-Law Graphs
Abstract. We adapt the compact routing scheme by Thorup and Zwick to optimize it for power-law graphs. We analyze our adapted routing scheme based on the theory of unweighted rando...

A Local 2-Approximation Algorithm for the Vertex Cover Problem
We present a distributed 2-approximation algorithm for the minimum vertex cover problem. The algorithm is deterministic, and it runs in (∆ + 1)2 synchronous communication rounds,...

Distributed Discovery of Large Near-Cliques
Given an undirected graph and 0 ≤ ≤ 1, a set of nodes is called -near clique if all but an fraction of the pairs of nodes in the set have a link between them. In this paper we...

Dynamics in Network Interaction Games
We study the convergence times of dynamics in games involving graphical relationships of players. Our model of local interaction games generalizes a variety of recently studied ga...
