| Abstract | The Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL), introduced by Erdos and Lovasz in 1975, is a powerful tool of the probabilistic method that allows one to prove that a set of n "bad" events do not happen with non-zero probability, provided that the events have limited dependence. However, the LLL itself does not suggest how to find a point avoiding all bad events. Since the work of Beck (1991) there has been a sustained effort to find a constructive proof (i.e. an algorithm) for the LLL or weaker versions of it. In a major breakthrough Moser and Tardos (2010) showed that a point avoiding all bad events can be found efficiently. They also proposed a distributed/parallel version of their algorithm that requires $O(log^{2}$ n) rounds of communication in a distributed network. In this paper we provide two new distributed algorithms for the LLL that improve on both the efficiency and simplicity of the Moser-Tardos algorithm. For clarity we express our results in terms of the symmetric LLL though both algorithms deal with the asymmetric version as well. Let p bound the probability of any bad event and d be the maximum degree in the dependency graph of the bad events. When $epd^{2}$ < 1 we give a truly simple LLL algorithm running in $O(log_{1/epd^{2}}$ n) rounds. Under the tighter condition ep(d+1) < 1, we give a slightly slower algorithm running in $O(log^{2}$ d⋅ $log_{1/ep(d+1)}$ n) rounds. Furthermore, we give an algorithm that runs in sublogarithmic rounds under the condition p⋅ f(d) < 1, where f(d) is an exponential function of d. Although the conditions of the LLL are locally verifiable, we prove that any distributed LLL algorithm requires Ω(log* n) rounds. In many graph coloring problems the existence of a valid coloring is established by one or more applications of the LLL. Using our LLL algorithms, we give logarithmic-time distributed algorithms for frugal coloring, defective coloring, coloring girth-4 (triangle-free) and girth-5 graphs, edge coloring, and list coloring. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
