For the synchronous clique under simultaneous wake-up, i.e., where all nodes start executing the algorithm at the same time in lock-step rounds, we show new tradeoffs between the number of required messages and the amount of time. For the synchronous clique under adversarial wake-up, we show that a message complexity ...

Addressing this problem, we develop a framework for extending any DA that exploits asynchronous and distributed computing. The extended DA algorithm is indexed b...

Speaker Hsin-Hao Su Abstract Traditional studies on symmetry breaking focus on breaking symmetries on atomic objects such as nodes or edges (e.g., the maximal independent set problem and the maximal matching problem). Their generalizations to higher-order objects have the potential to be used for solving optimization problems in distributed and parallel models. In this talk, I will discuss how such primitives play a role in our two recent results as follows:   A poly(1/ε, log n)-time ...
