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 ...

Abstract: Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 into synthesis gas is a promising avenue to mitigate rising global temperatures and ocean acidification. Despite widespread efforts to improve reaction activity and selectivity, there still exists knowledge gaps in reaction mechanisms due to inference from ensemble-averaged empirical data from product and catalyst characterizations. Ensemble measurements average over large populations of single entities, such as transient chemical intermediates, pr...

In massive data settings, however, DA algorithms are prohibitively slow because they pass through the full data in any iteration, imposing severe restrictions on their usage despite the advantages. 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 ...
