TLDR
The verification problem in distributed networks is studied, stated as follows: let H be a subgraph of a network G where each vertex of G knows which edges incident on it are in H.
Abstract
We study the verification problem in distributed networks, stated as follows. Let $H$ be a subgraph of a network $G$ where each vertex of $G$ knows which edges incident on it are in $H$. We would l...

On the power of the congested clique model

TL;DR: It is shown that the unicast congested clique can simulate powerful classes of bounded-depth circuits, implying that even slightly super-constant lower bounds for the congestedClique would give new lower bounds in circuit complexity.

What graph neural networks cannot learn: depth vs width

TL;DR: GNNmp are shown to be Turing universal under sufficient conditions on their depth, width, node attributes, and layer expressiveness, and it is discovered that GNNmp can lose a significant portion of their power when their depth and width is restricted.

Networks cannot compute their diameter in sublinear time

TL;DR: A new technique is used to prove an Ω (√n + D) lower bound on approximating the girth of a graph by a factor 2 − e, which is valid even if the diameter of the network is a small constant.

Optimal distributed all pairs shortest paths and applications

TL;DR: A new lower bound for approximating the diameter D of a graph is presented: being allowed to answer D+1 or D can speed up the computation by at most a factor D, and an algorithm is provided that achieves such a speedup of D and computes an (1+εepsilon) multiplicative approximation of the diameter.

Introduction to Parallel Algorithms and Architectures: Arrays, Trees, Hypercubes

TL;DR: This chapter discusses sorting on a Linear Array with a Systolic and Semisystolic Model of Computation, which automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of manually sorting arrays.

Some complexity questions related to distributive computing(Preliminary Report)

TL;DR: The quantity of interest, which measures the information exchange necessary for computing f, is the minimum number of bits exchanged in any algorithm.

Probabilistic computations: Toward a unified measure of complexity

TL;DR: Two approaches to the study of expected running time of algoritruns lead naturally to two different definitions of intrinsic complexity of a problem, which are the distributional complexity and the randomized complexity, respectively.
