# Local Computation Algorithms for the Lovász Local Lemma

We consider the task of designing Local Computation Algorithms (LCA) for applications of the Lovász Local Lemma (LLL). LCA is a class of sublinear algorithms proposed by Rubinfeld et al. that have received a lot of attention in recent years. The LLL is an existential, sufficient condition for a collection of sets to have non-empty intersection (in applications, often, each set comprises all objects having a certain property). The ground-breaking algorithm of Moser and Tardos made the LLL fully constructive, following earlier works by Beck and Alon giving algorithms under significantly stronger LLL-like conditions. LCAs under those stronger conditions were given in the paper of Rubinfeld et al. and later work by Alon et al., where it was asked if the Moser-Tardos algorithm can be used to design LCAs under the standard LLL condition. The main contribution of this paper is to answer this question affirmatively. In fact, our techniques yields LCAs for settings beyond the standard LLL condition.
