We design a space efficient algorithm that approximates the transitivity (global clustering coefficient) and total triangle count with only a single pass through a graph given as a stream of edges. Our procedure is based on the classic…

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…

The number of triangles (hereafter denoted by $\Delta$) is an important metric to analyze massive graphs. It is also used to compute clustering coefficient in networks. This paper proposes a new algorithm called PES (Priority Edge Sampling)…

Listing and counting triangles in graphs is a key algorithmic kernel for network analyses, including community detection, clustering coefficients, k-trusses, and triangle centrality. In this paper, we propose the novel concept of a…

Sketching and streaming algorithms are in the forefront of current research directions for cut problems in graphs. In the streaming model, we show that $(1-\epsilon)$-approximation for Max-Cut must use $n^{1-O(\epsilon)}$ space; moreover,…

Suppose we wish to estimate $\#H$, the number of copies of some small graph $H$ in a large streaming graph $G$. There are many algorithms for this task when $H$ is a triangle, but just a few that apply to arbitrary $H$. Here we focus on one…

In order to efficiently study the characteristics of network domains and support development of network systems (e.g. algorithms, protocols that operate on networks), it is often necessary to sample a representative subgraph from a large…

The distance of a graph from being triangle-free is a fundamental graph parameter, counting the number of edges that need to be removed from a graph in order for it to become triangle-free. Its corresponding computational problem is the…

The theme of this paper is how to find all instances of a given "sample" graph in a larger "data graph," using a single round of map-reduce. For the simplest sample graph, the triangle, we improve upon the best known such algorithm. We then…
