Weighted Gossip: Distributed Averaging Using Non-Doubly Stochastic Matrices

Martin Vetterli, Patrick Thiran, Florence Bénézit

This paper presents a general class of gossip-based averaging algorithms, which are inspired from Uniform Gossip [1]. While Uniform Gossip works synchronously on complete graphs, weighted gossip algorithms allow asynchronous rounds and converge on any conn ...

A bipartite strengthening of the Crossing Lemma

János Pach

Let G = (V, E) be a graph with n vertices and m >= 4n edges drawn in the plane. The celebrated Crossing Lemma states that G has at least Omega(m(3)/n(2)) pairs of crossing edges; or equivalently, there is an edge that crosses Omega(m(2)/n(2)) other edges. ...

Distributed average consensus for wireless sensor networks

Florence Bénézit

Wireless sensor networks have emerged a few years ago, enabling large scale sensing at low cost. There are many interesting problems related to this new sensing tool: designing robust and small hardware, defining adapted routing protocols, minimizing the e ...

Degree-constrained edge partitioning in graphs arising from discrete tomography

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

Starting from the basic problem of reconstructing a 2-dimensional image given by its projections on two axes, one associates a model of edge coloring in a complete bipartite graph. The complexity of the case with k=3 colors is open. Variations and special ...

Blockers and transversals

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries, Rico Zenklusen

Given an undirected graph G = (V, E) with matching number v(G), we define d-blockers as subsets of edges B such that nu((V, E \ B)) = d. ...

Weighted coloring on planar, bipartite and split graphs: Complexity and approximation

Dominique de Werra

We study complexity and approximation of MIN WEIGHTED NODE COLORING in planar, bipartite and split graphs. We show that this problem is NP-hard in planar graphs, even if they are triangle-free and their maximum degree is bounded above by 4. Then, we prove ...

Designing peer-to-peer overlays

Sarunas Girdzijauskas

The Small-World phenomenon, well known under the phrase "six degrees of separation", has been for a long time under the spotlight of investigation. The fact that our social network is closely-knitted and that any two people are linked by a short chain of a ...

A note on the data-driven capacity of P2P networks

Pascal Frossard

We consider two capacity problems in P2P networks. In the first one, the nodes have an infinite amount of data to send and the goal is to optimally allocate their uplink bandwidths such that the demands of every peer in terms of receiving data rate are met ...

Polar cographs

Dominique de Werra, Tinaz Ekim

Polar graphs are a natural extension of some classes of graphs like bipartite graphs, split graphs and complements of bipartite graphs. A graph is (s, k)-polar if there exists a partition A, B of its vertex set such that A induces a complete s-partite grap ...

Variations of coloring problems related to scheduling and discrete tomography

Bernard Ries

The graph coloring problem is one of the most famous problems in graph theory and has a large range of applications. It consists in coloring the vertices of an undirected graph with a given number of colors such that two adjacent vertices get different col ...
