We study the problem of graph and hypergraph sparsification in insertion-only data streams. The input is a hypergraph $H=(V, E, w)$ with $n$ nodes, $m$ hyperedges, and rank $r$, and the goal is to compute a hypergraph $\widehat{H}$ that…

This paper resolves one of the longest standing basic problems in the streaming computational model. Namely, optimal construction of quantile sketches. An $\varepsilon$ approximate quantile sketch receives a stream of items $x_1,\ldots,x_n$…

We revisit one of the classic problems in the data stream literature, namely, that of estimating the frequency moments $F_p$ for $0 < p < 2$ of an underlying $n$-dimensional vector presented as a sequence of additive updates in a stream. It…

We investigate the problem of deterministic pattern matching in multiple streams. In this model, one symbol arrives at a time and is associated with one of s streaming texts. The task at each time step is to report if there is a new match…

In this paper, we study the non-bipartite maximum matching problem in the semi-streaming model. The maximum matching problem in the semi-streaming model has received a significant amount of attention lately. While the problem has been…

We study the problem of approximately simulating a $t$-step random walk on a graph where the input edges come from a single-pass stream. The straightforward algorithm using reservoir sampling needs $O(nt)$ words of memory. We show that this…

The maximum coverage problem is to select $k$ sets from a collection of sets such that the cardinality of the union of the selected sets is maximized. We consider $(1-1/e-\epsilon)$-approximation algorithms for this NP-hard problem in three…

Many problems on data streams have been studied at two extremes of difficulty: either allowing randomized algorithms, in the static setting (where they should err with bounded probability on the worst case stream); or when only…

In this paper, we give simple optimal lower bounds on the one-way two-party communication complexity of approximate Maximum Matching and Minimum Vertex Cover with deletions. In our model, Alice holds a set of edges and sends a single…

We present a new approach for finding matchings in dense graphs by building on Szemer\'edi's celebrated Regularity Lemma. This allows us to obtain non-trivial albeit slight improvements over longstanding bounds for matchings in streaming…

We explore the use of local algorithms in the design of streaming algorithms for the Maximum Directed Cut problem. Specifically, building on the local algorithm of Buchbinder et al. (FOCS'12) and Censor-Hillel et al. (ALGOSENSORS'17), we…

Estimating the second frequency moment $F_2$ of a data stream up to a $(1 \pm \varepsilon)$ factor is a central problem in the streaming literature. For errors $\varepsilon > \Omega(1/\sqrt{n})$, the tight bound…

We prove that any two-pass graph streaming algorithm for the $s$-$t$ reachability problem in $n$-vertex directed graphs requires near-quadratic space of $n^{2-o(1)}$ bits. As a corollary, we also obtain near-quadratic space lower bounds for…

We study the problem of solving linear program in the streaming model. Given a constraint matrix $A\in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ and vectors $b\in \mathbb{R}^m, c\in \mathbb{R}^n$, we develop a space-efficient interior point method that…
