Distributed Near-Equitable Coloring in the LOCAL Model
For an $n$-vertex graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, an equitable $(\Delta+1)$-coloring is a proper coloring all of whose color classes have size $\sigma = n/(\Delta+1)$ up to rounding. Known algorithms for relaxations of this target aggregate along a spanning structure, at cost scaling with the diameter $D$. We study n...
