We prove that any semi-streaming algorithm for $(1-\epsilon)$-approximation of maximum bipartite matching requires \[ \Omega(\frac{\log{(1/\epsilon)}}{{\log{(1/\beta)}}}) \] passes, where $\beta \in (0,1)$ is the largest parameter so that…

Sorting is a fundamental problem in computer science. In the classical setting, it is well-known that $(1\pm o(1)) n\log_2 n$ comparisons are both necessary and sufficient to sort a list of $n$ elements. In this paper, we study the Noisy…

We consider computing a longest palindrome in the streaming model, where the symbols arrive one-by-one and we do not have random access to the input. While computing the answer exactly using sublinear space is not possible in such a…
