Algorithms in the data stream model use $O(polylog(N))$ space to compute some property of an input of size $N$, and many of these algorithms are implemented and used in practice. However, sketching algorithms in the graph semi-streaming…

Counting triangles in a graph and incident to each vertex is a fundamental and frequently considered task of graph analysis. We consider how to efficiently do this for huge graphs using massively parallel distributed-memory machines.…

Triangle counting is a fundamental problem in graph mining, essential for analyzing graph streams with arbitrary edge orders. However, exact counting becomes impractical due to the massive size of real-world graph streams. To address this,…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. A crossing-free structure on $P$ is a plane graph with vertex set $P$. Examples of crossing-free structures include triangulations of $P$, spanning cycles of $P$, also known as polygonalizations…
