Abstract

We show that, for any task T associated to a locally checkable labeling (lcl), if T is solvable in t rounds by a deterministic algorithm in the local model, then T remains solvable by a deterministic algorithm in O(t) rounds in an asynchronous variant of the local model whenever \(t=O(\text {polylog}\, n)\).
