Abstract

We present simple deterministic algorithms for subgraph finding and enumeration in the broadcast CONGEST model of distributed computation:
-- For any constant k, detecting k-paths and trees on k nodes can be done in O(1) rounds.
-- For any constant k, detecting k-cycles and pseudotrees on k nodes can be done in O(n) rounds.
-- On d-degenerate graphs, cliques and 4-cycles can be enumerated in O(d + log n) rounds, and 5-cycles in O(d2 + log n) rounds.
In many cases, these bounds are tight up to logarithmic factors. Moreover, we show that the algorithms for d-degenerate graphs can be improved to O(d/logn) and O(d2/logn), respectively, in the supported CONGEST model, which can be seen as an intermediate model between CONGEST and the congested clique.
