The Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL) is a keystone principle in probability theory, guaranteeing the existence of configurations which avoid a collection $\mathcal B$ of "bad" events which are mostly independent and have low probability. In its simplest form, it asserts that whenever a bad-event has probability $p$ and affects at most $d$ other bad-events, and $e p (d+1) < 1$, then a configuration avoiding all $\mathcal B$ exists. A seminal algorithm of Moser & Tardos (2010) gives randomized…

An efficient algorithm is given that, given a graph G and a partition V1,…,Vm of its vertex set, finds either an independent transversal, or a subset of vertex classes such that the subgraph of G induced by $\bigcup\nolimits_{\cal B}$ has a small dominating set.

A new parallel algorithm is given that works under essentially the same conditions as the original algorithm of Moser and Tardos but uses only a single MIS computation, thus running in O(log2 n) time on an EREW PRAM.

This work extends and generalizes a technique of Luby for efficiently handling bilinear objective functions and leads to large reduction in processor complexity for a number of derandomization algorithms based on automata-fooling, including set discrepancy and the Johnson–Lindenstrauss Lemma.

It is shown that for every ǫ > 0, a (1−ǫ) lnn-approximation implies that NP ⊆ DTIME(n log ), which makes domatic number the first natural maximization problem that is provably approximable to within polylogarithmic factors but no better.
