| Abstract | We consider the well-known vertex coloring problem: given a graph G, find a coloring of the vertices so that no two neighbors in G have the same color. It is trivial to see that every graph of maximum degree Delta can be colored with Delta + 1 colors, and distributed algorithms that find a (Delta + 1)-coloring in a logarithmic number of communication rounds, with high probability, are known since more than a decade. This is in general the best possible if only a constant number of bits can be sent along every edge in each round. In fact, we show that for the n-node cycle the bit complexity of the coloring problem is Omega(log n). More precisely, if only one bit can be sent along each edge in a round, then every distributed coloring algorithm (i.e., algorithms in which every node has the same initial state and initially only knows its own edges) needs at least Omega(log n) rounds, with high probability, to color the cycle, for any finite number of colors. But what if the edges have orientations, i.e., the end-points of an edge agree on its orientation (while bits may still flow in both directions)? Does this allow one to provide faster coloring algorithms? Interestingly, for the cycle in which all edges have the same orientation, we show that a simple randomized algorithm can achieve a 3-coloring with only O(radic(log n)) rounds of bit transmissions, with high probability (w.h.p.). This result is tight because we also show that the bit complexity of coloring an oriented cycle is Omega(radic(log n)), with high probability, no matter how many colors are allowed. The 3-coloring algorithm can be easily extended to provide a (Delta + 1)-coloring for all graphs of maximum degree Delta in O(radic(log n)) rounds of bit transmissions, w.h.p., if Delta is a constant, the edges are oriented, and the graph does not contain an oriented cycle of length less than radic(log n). Using more complex algorithms, we show how to obtain an O(Delta)-coloring for arbitrary oriented graphs of maximum degree Delta using essentially O(log Deltaradic(log n)) rounds of bit transmissions, w.h.p., provided that the graph does not contain an oriented cycle of length less than radic(log n) |

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.
