  1. Maximal Independent Set

  2. Independent Set (IS): In a graph, any set of nodes that are not adjacent

  3. Maximal Independent Set (MIS): An independent set that is no subset of any other independent set

  4. Maximum Independent Set: A MIS of maximum size A graph G… …a MIS of G… …a MIS of max size

  5. Applications in Distributed Systems • In a network graph consisting of nodes representing processors, a MIS defines a set of processors which can operate in parallel without interference • For instance, in wireless ad hoc networks, to avoid interference, a conflict graph is built, and a MIS on that defines a clustering of the nodes enabling efficient routing

  6. A Sequential Greedy algorithm Suppose that will hold the final MIS Initially

  7. Phase 1: Pick a node and add it to

  8. Remove and neighbors

  9. Remove and neighbors

  10. Phase 2: Pick a node and add it to

  11. Remove and neighbors

  12. Remove and neighbors

  13. Phases 3,4,5,…: Repeat until all nodes are removed

  14. Phases 3,4,5,…,x: Repeat until all nodes are removed No remaining nodes

  15. At the end, set will be an MIS of

  16. Running time of the algorithm: Θ(|E|) Number of phases of the algorithm: O(n) Worst case graph (for number of phases): nodes

  17. Homework • Can you see a distributed version of the algorithm just given?

  18. A General Algorithm For Computing MIS Same as the sequential greedy algorithm, but at each phase we may select any independent set (instead of a single node)

  19. Example: Suppose that will hold the final MIS Initially

  20. Phase 1: Find any independent set And insert to :

  21. remove and neighbors

  22. remove and neighbors

  23. remove and neighbors

  24. Phase 2: On new graph Find any independent set And insert to :

  25. remove and neighbors

  26. remove and neighbors

  27. Phase 3: On new graph Find any independent set And insert to :

  28. remove and neighbors

  29. remove and neighbors No nodes are left

  30. Final MIS

  31. Observation: The number of phases depends on the choice of independent set in each phase: The larger the independent set at each phase, the faster the algorithm

  32. Example: If is MIS, 1 phase is needed Example: If each contains one node, phases are needed (sequential greedy algorithm)

  33. A Randomized Sync. Distributed Algorithm Follows the general MIS algorithm paradigm, by choosing randomly at each phase the independent set, in such a way that it is expected to include many nodes of the remaining graph

  34. Let be the maximum node degree in the whole graph 2 1 Suppose that d is known to all the nodes (this may require a pre-processing)

  35. At each phase : Each node elects itself with probability 2 1 Elected nodes are candidates for independent set

  36. However, it is possible that neighbor nodes may be elected simultaneously Problematic nodes

  37. All the problematic nodes must be un-elected. The remaining elected nodes form independent set

  38. Analysis: Success for a node in phase : disappears at end of phase (enters or ) A good scenario that guarantees success No neighbor elects itself 2 1 elects itself

  39. Basics of Probability • E: finite universe of events; let A and B denote two events in E; then: • A  Bis the event that A or (non-exclusive) B occurs; • A  Bis the event that both A and B occur.

  40. Probability of success in a phase: At least No neighbor should elect itself 2 1 elects itself

  41. Fundamental inequalities

  42. Probability of success in phase: At least First (left) ineq. with t =-1 For

  43. Therefore, node disappears at the end of phase with probability at least 2 1

  44. Expected number of phases until node disappears: phases at most

  45. Definition:Bad event for node : after phases node did not disappear This happens with probability (first (right) ineq. with t =-1 and n =2ed):

  46. Bad event for G: after phases at least one node did not disappear This happens with probability: P(ORxG(bad event for x)) ≤

  47. Good event for G: within phases all nodes disappear This happens with probability: (high probability)

  48. Total number of phases: (with high probability) • # rounds for each phase: 3 • In round 1, each node tries to elect itself and notifies neighbors; • In round 2, each node receives notifications from neighbors, decide whether is in Ik, and notifies neighbors; • In round 3, each node receiving notifications from elected neighbors, realizes to be in N(Ik).  total # of rounds:

  49. Homework • Can you provide a good bound on the number of messages?
