  text: "Approximate agreement is one of the few variants of consensus that can be
    solved in a wait-free manner in asynchronous systems where processes communicate
    by reading and writing to shared memory. In this work, we consider a natural generalisation
    of approximate agreement on arbitrary undirected connected graphs. Each process
    is given a node of the graph as input and, if non-faulty, must output a node such
    that\r\n– all the outputs are within distance 1 of one another, and\r\n– each
    output value lies on a shortest path between two input values.\r\nFrom prior work,
    it is known that there is no wait-free algorithm among  processes for this problem
    on any cycle of length , by reduction from 2-set agreement (Castañeda et al.,
    2018).\r\n\r\nIn this work, we investigate the solvability of this task on general
    graphs. We give a new, direct proof of the impossibility of approximate agreement
    on cycles of length , via a generalisation of Sperner's Lemma to convex polygons.
    We also extend the reduction from 2-set agreement to a larger class of graphs,
    showing that approximate agreement on these graphs is unsolvable. On the positive
    side, we present a wait-free algorithm for a different class of graphs, which
    properly contains the class of chordal graphs."

  text: "Let G be a graph on n nodes. In the stochastic population protocol model,
    a collection of n indistinguishable, resource-limited nodes collectively solve
    tasks via pairwise interactions. In each interaction, two randomly chosen neighbors
    first read each other’s states, and then update their local states. A rich line
    of research has established tight upper and lower bounds on the complexity of
    fundamental tasks, such as majority and leader election, in this model, when G
    is a clique. Specifically, in the clique, these tasks can be solved fast, i.e.,
    in n polylog n pairwise interactions, with high probability, using at most polylog
    n states per node.\r\nIn this work, we consider the more general setting where
    G is an arbitrary regular graph, and present a technique for simulating protocols
    designed for fully-connected networks in any connected regular graph. Our main
    result is a simulation that is efficient on many interesting graph families: roughly,
    the simulation overhead is polylogarithmic in the number of nodes, and quadratic
    in the conductance of the graph. As a sample application, we show that, in any
    regular graph with conductance φ, both leader election and exact majority can
    be solved in φ^{-2} ⋅ n polylog n pairwise interactions, with high probability,
    using at most φ^{-2} ⋅ polylog n states per node. This shows that there are fast
    and space-efficient population protocols for leader election and exact majority
    on graphs with good expansion properties. We believe our results will prove generally
    useful, as they allow efficient technology transfer between the well-mixed (clique)
    case, and the under-explored spatial setting."

  text: 'In this work we introduce the graph-theoretic notion of mendability: for
    each locally checkable graph problem we can define its mending radius, which captures
    the idea of how far one needs to modify a partial solution in order to “patch
    a hole.” We explore how mendability is connected to the existence of efficient
    algorithms, especially in distributed, parallel, and fault-tolerant settings.
    It is easy to see that O(1)-mendable problems are also solvable in O(log∗n) rounds
    in the LOCAL model of distributed computing. One of the surprises is that in paths
    and cycles, a converse also holds in the following sense: if a problem Π can be
    solved in O(log∗n), there is always a restriction Π′⊆Π that is still efficiently
    solvable but that is also O(1)-mendable. We also explore the structure of the
    landscape of mendability. For example, we show that in trees, the mending radius
    of any locally checkable problem is O(1), Θ(logn), or Θ(n), while in general graphs
    the structure is much more diverse.'

  text: 'Online algorithms make decisions based on past inputs, with the goal of being
    competitive against an algorithm that sees also future inputs. In this work, we
    introduce time-local online algorithms; these are online algorithms in which the
    output at any given time is a function of only T latest inputs. Our main observation
    is that time-local online algorithms are closely connected to local distributed
    graph algorithms: distributed algorithms make decisions based on the local information
    in the spatial dimension, while time-local online algorithms make decisions based
    on the local information in the temporal dimension. We formalize this connection,
    and show how we can directly use the tools developed to study distributed approximability
    of graph optimization problems to prove upper and lower bounds on the competitive
    ratio achieved with time-local online algorithms. Moreover, we show how to use
    computational techniques to synthesize optimal time-local algorithms.'

  text: "Consider a distributed task where the communication network is fixed but
    the local inputs given to the nodes of the distributed system may change over
    time. In this work, we explore the following question: if some of the local inputs
    change, can an existing solution be updated efficiently, in a dynamic and distributed
    manner?\r\nTo address this question, we define the batch dynamic CONGEST model
    in which we are given a bandwidth-limited communication network and a dynamic
    edge labelling defines the problem input. The task is to maintain a solution to
    a graph problem on the labelled graph under batch changes. We investigate, when
    a batch of alpha edge label changes arrive, - how much time as a function of alpha
    we need to update an existing solution, and - how much information the nodes have
    to keep in local memory between batches in order to update the solution quickly.\r\nOur
    work lays the foundations for the theory of input-dynamic distributed network
    algorithms. We give a general picture of the complexity landscape in this model,
    design both universal algorithms and algorithms for concrete problems, and present
    a general framework for lower bounds. The diverse time complexity of our model
    spans from constant time, through time polynomial in alpha, and to alpha time,
    which we show to be enough for any task."

  text: We introduce a new graph problem, the token dropping game, and we show how
    to solve it efficiently in a distributed setting. We use the token dropping game
    as a tool to design an efficient distributed algorithm for stable orientations
    and more generally for locally optimal semi-matchings. The prior work by Czygrinow
    et al. (DISC 2012) finds a stable orientation in O(Δ^5) rounds in graphs of maximum
    degree Δ, while we improve it to O(Δ^4) and also prove a lower bound of Ω(Δ).
    For the more general problem of locally optimal semi-matchings, the prior upper
    bound is O(S^5) and our new algorithm runs in O(C · S^4) rounds, which is an improvement
    for C = o(S); here C and S are the maximum degrees of customers and servers, respectively.

  text: 'Let G be a graph on n nodes. In the stochastic population protocol model,
    a collection of n indistinguishable, resource-limited nodes collectively solve
    tasks via pairwise interactions. In each interaction, two randomly chosen neighbors
    first read each other’s states, and then update their local states. A rich line
    of research has established tight upper and lower bounds on the complexity of
    fundamental tasks, such as majority and leader election, in this model, when G
    is a clique. Specifically, in the clique, these tasks can be solved fast, i.e.,
    in n polylog n pairwise interactions, with high probability, using at most polylog
    n states per node. In this work, we consider the more general setting where G
    is an arbitrary graph, and present a technique for simulating protocols designed
    for fully-connected networks in any connected regular graph. Our main result is
    a simulation that is efficient on many interesting graph families: roughly, the
    simulation overhead is polylogarithmic in the number of nodes, and quadratic in
    the conductance of the graph. As an example, this implies that, in any regular
    graph with conductance φ, both leader election and exact majority can be solved
    in φ^{-2} ⋅ n polylog n pairwise interactions, with high probability, using at
    most φ^{-2} ⋅ polylog n states per node. This shows that there are fast and space-efficient
    population protocols for leader election and exact majority on graphs with good
    expansion properties.'

  text: 'Habitat loss is one of the key drivers of the ongoing decline of biodiversity.
    However, ecologists still argue about how fragmentation of habitat (independent
    of habitat loss) affects species richness. The recently proposed habitat amount
    hypothesis posits that species richness only depends on the total amount of habitat
    in a local landscape. In contrast, empirical studies report contrasting patterns:
    some find positive and others negative effects of fragmentation per se on species
    richness. To explain this apparent disparity, we devise a stochastic, spatially
    explicit model of competitive species communities in heterogeneous habitats. The
    model shows that habitat loss and fragmentation have complex effects on species
    diversity in competitive communities. When the total amount of habitat is large,
    fragmentation per se tends to increase species diversity, but if the total amount
    of habitat is small, the situation is reversed: fragmentation per se decreases
    species diversity.'
