Huang et al.~(STOC 2018) introduced the fully online matching problem, a generalization of the classic online bipartite matching problem in that it allows all vertices to arrive online and considers general graphs. They showed that the…
We consider the Stochastic Matching problem, which is motivated by applications in kidney exchange and online dating. In this problem, we are given an undirected graph. Each edge is assigned a known, independent probability of existence and…
Streaming algorithms are generally judged by the quality of their solution, memory footprint, and computational complexity. In this paper, we study the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function in the streaming setting with a…
In this note, we revisit the rounding algorithm of Wajc. Wajc gave a fully-adaptive randomized algorithm that rounds a dynamic fractional matching in an unweighted bipartite graph to an integral matching of nearly the same value in…
We study the problem of minimizing total completion time on parallel machines subject to varying processing capacity. In this paper, we develop an approximation scheme for the problem under the data stream model where the input data is…
We study the edge-weighted online stochastic matching problem. Since Feldman, Mehta, Mirrokni, and Muthukrishnan proposed the $(1-\frac1e)$-competitive Suggested Matching algorithm, there has been no improvement for the general…
In this work, we present a new random sampling method for data streams where the probability of an element's inclusion in the sample is proportional to a weight associated with that element. Our method is based on sampling with replacement,…
We study the weighted token swapping problem, in which we are given a graph on $n$ vertices, $n$ weighted tokens, an initial assignment of one token to each vertex, and a final assignment of one token to each vertex. The goal is to find a…
We develop a perfectly distributable quantum-classical streaming algorithm that processes signed edges to efficiently estimate the counts of triangles of diverse signed configurations in the single pass edge stream. Our approach introduces…
In the online bipartite matching with reassignments problem, an algorithm is initially given only one side of the vertex set of a bipartite graph; the vertices on the other side are revealed to the algorithm one by one, along with its…
A classic result of Williamson, Goemans, Mihail, and Vazirani [STOC 1993: 708-717] states that the problem of covering an uncrossable set family by a min-cost edge set admits approximation ratio $2$, by a primal-dual algorithm with a…
We improve the running times of $O(1)$-approximation algorithms for the set cover problem in geometric settings, specifically, covering points by disks in the plane, or covering points by halfspaces in three dimensions. In the unweighted…
Introduced by Papadimitriou and Yannakakis in 1989, layered graph traversal is a central problem in online algorithms and mobile computing that has been studied for several decades, and which now is essentially resolved in its original…
Many real-world applications pose challenges in incorporating fairness constraints into the $k$-center clustering problem, where the dataset consists of $m$ demographic groups, each with a specified upper bound on the number of centers to…
We study four-cycle counting in arbitrary order graph streams. We present a 3-pass algorithm for $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximating the number of four-cycles using $\widetilde{O}(m/\sqrt{T})$ space, where $m$ is the number of edges and $T$ the…
Let M be a matroid on ground set E. A subset l of E is called a `line' when its rank equals 1 or 2. Given a set L of lines, a `fractional matching' in (M,L) is a nonnegative vector x indexed by the lines in L, that satisfies a system of…
We introduce a novel algorithm to perform graph clustering in the edge streaming setting. In this model, the graph is presented as a sequence of edges that can be processed strictly once. Our streaming algorithm has an extremely low memory…
We revisit Min-Mean-Cycle, the classical problem of finding a cycle in a weighted directed graph with minimum mean weight. Despite an extensive algorithmic literature, previous work falls short of a near-linear runtime in the number of…
Given two graphs, the graph matching problem is to align the two vertex sets so as to minimize the number of adjacency disagreements between the two graphs. The seeded graph matching problem is the graph matching problem when we are first…
The notions of cutwidth and pathwidth of digraphs play a central role in the containment theory for tournaments, or more generally semi-complete digraphs, developed in a recent series of papers by Chudnovsky, Fradkin, Kim, Scott, and…
