We consider the classical makespan minimization scheduling problem where $n$ jobs must be scheduled on $m$ identical machines. Using weighted random sampling, we developed two sublinear time approximation schemes: one for the case where $n$…

The sparsest cut problem consists of identifying a small set of edges that breaks the graph into balanced sets of vertices. The normalized cut problem balances the total degree, instead of the size, of the resulting sets. Applications of…

The palette sparsification theorem (PST) of Assadi, Chen, and Khanna (SODA 2019) states that in every graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$, sampling a list of $O(\log{n})$ colors from $\{1,\ldots,\Delta+1\}$ for every vertex independently…

The area of sublinear algorithms have recently received a lot of attention. In this setting, one has to choose specific access model for the input, as the algorithm does not have time to pre-process or even to see the whole input. A…
