We present a new algorithm for approximating the number of triangles in a graph $G$ whose edges arrive as an arbitrary order stream. If $m$ is the number of edges in $G$, $T$ the number of triangles, $\Delta_E$ the maximum number of…

This article focuses on a biobjective extension of the maximum flow network interdiction problem, where each arc in the network is associated with two capacity values. Two maximum flows from a source to a sink are to be computed…

Two kinds of approximation algorithms exist for the k-BALANCED PARTITIONING problem: those that are fast but compute unsatisfying approximation ratios, and those that guarantee high quality ratios but are slow. In this paper we prove that…

In minimum power network design problems we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge costs $\{c_e:e \in E\}$. The goal is to find an edge set $F\subseteq E$ that satisfies a prescribed property of minimum power $p_c(F)=\sum_{v \in…

We study the problem of approximating the number of $k$-cliques in a graph when given query access to the graph. We consider the standard query model for general graphs via (1) degree queries, (2) neighbor queries and (3) pair queries. Let…

We study the maximum matching problem in the random-order semi-streaming setting. In this problem, the edges of an arbitrary $n$-vertex graph $G=(V, E)$ arrive in a stream one by one and in a random order. The goal is to have a single pass…
