We present data streaming algorithms for the $k$-median problem in high-dimensional dynamic geometric data streams, i.e. streams allowing both insertions and deletions of points from a discrete Euclidean space $\{1, 2, \ldots \Delta\}^d$.…

In the streaming model, the order of the stream can significantly affect the difficulty of a problem. A $t$-semirandom stream was introduced as an interpolation between random-order ($t=1$) and adversarial-order ($t=n$) streams where an…

We study the $k$-connectivity augmentation problem ($k$-CAP) in the single-pass streaming model. Given a $(k-1)$-edge connected graph $G=(V,E)$ that is stored in memory, and a stream of weighted edges $L$ with weights in $\{0,1,\dots,W\}$,…

The dictionary matching with gaps problem is to preprocess a dictionary $D$ of $d$ gapped patterns $P_1,\ldots,P_d$ over alphabet $\Sigma$, where each gapped pattern $P_i$ is a sequence of subpatterns separated by bounded sequences of don't…

Depth first search is a fundamental graph problem having a wide range of applications. For a graph $G=(V,E)$ having $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the DFS tree can be computed in $O(m+n)$ using $O(m)$ space where $m=O(n^2)$. In the streaming…

We study the classic set cover problem from the perspective of sub-linear algorithms. Given access to a collection of $m$ sets over $n$ elements in the query model, we show that sub-linear algorithms derived from existing techniques have…

In this paper we consider the problem of finding a maximum weight set subject to a $k$-extendible constraint in the data stream model. The only non-trivial algorithm known for this problem to date---to the best of our knowledge---is a…

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…

The problem of finding \emph{distance} between \emph{pattern} of length $m$ and \emph{text} of length $n$ is a typical way of generalizing pattern matching to incorporate dissimilarity score. For both Hamming and $L_1$ distances only a…

We consider the unweighted bipartite maximum matching problem in the one-pass turnstile streaming model where the input stream consists of edge insertions and deletions. In the insertion-only model, a one-pass $2$-approximation streaming…

We consider the approximate pattern matching problem under edit distance. In this problem we are given a pattern $P$ of length $w$ and a text $T$ of length $n$ over some alphabet $\Sigma$, and a positive integer $k$. The goal is to find all…

Problems involving the efficient arrangement of simple objects, as captured by bin packing and makespan scheduling, are fundamental tasks in combinatorial optimization. These are well understood in the traditional online and offline cases,…

Many streaming algorithms provide only a high-probability relative approximation. These two relaxations, of allowing approximation and randomization, seem necessary -- for many streaming problems, both relaxations must be employed…

Permutation patterns and pattern avoidance have been intensively studied in combinatorics and computer science, going back at least to the seminal work of Knuth on stack-sorting (1968). Perhaps the most natural algorithmic question in this…

In this paper, we study the problem of finding a maximum matching in the semi-streaming model when edges arrive in a random order. In the semi-streaming model, an algorithm receives a stream of edges and it is allowed to have a memory of…

Estimating the size of the maximum matching is a canonical problem in graph algorithms, and one that has attracted extensive study over a range of different computational models. We present improved streaming algorithms for approximating…

In the Palindrome Problem one tries to find all palindromes (palindromic substrings) in a given string. A palindrome is defined as a string which reads forwards the same as backwards, e.g., the string "racecar". A related problem is the…

Constrained $k$-submodular maximization is a general framework that captures many discrete optimization problems such as ad allocation, influence maximization, personalized recommendation, and many others. In many of these applications,…

We initiate the study of sub-linear sketching and streaming techniques for estimating the output size of common dictionary compressors such as Lempel-Ziv '77, the run-length Burrows-Wheeler transform, and grammar compression. To this end,…

We initiate the investigation of the parameterized complexity of Diameter and Connectivity in the streaming paradigm. On the positive end, we show that knowing a vertex cover of size $k$ allows for algorithms in the Adjacency List (AL)…
