TL;DR
This paper presents a new, efficient distributed algorithm for graph coloring on paths and cycles that significantly reduces the number of colors in just three iterations without requiring global orientation.
Contribution
It introduces a simple, fast, and self-contained distributed coloring algorithm that reduces colors from an astronomically high number to three in three steps.
Findings
Reduces colors from 10^100 to 3 in three iterations
Does not require globally consistent orientation
Applicable to paths and cycles
Abstract
We give a new, simple distributed algorithm for graph colouring in paths and cycles. Our algorithm is fast and self-contained, it does not need any globally consistent orientation, and it reduces the number of colours from to in three iterations.
