We resolve the space complexity of single-pass streaming algorithms for approximating the classic set cover problem. For finding an $\alpha$-approximate set cover (for any $\alpha= o(\sqrt{n})$) using a single-pass streaming algorithm, we…
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…

We consider the problem of estimating the value of MAX-CUT in a graph in the streaming model of computation. At one extreme, there is a trivial $2$-approximation for this problem that uses only $O(\log n)$ space, namely, count the number of…
Big data problems frequently require processing datasets in a streaming fashion, either because all data are available at once but collectively are larger than available memory or because the data intrinsically arrive one data point at a…
In his breakthrough paper, Raz showed that any parity learning algorithm requires either quadratic memory or an exponential number of samples [FOCS'16, JACM'19]. A line of work that followed extended this result to a large class of learning…

In this thesis, we explore streaming algorithms for approximating constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). The setup is roughly the following: A computer has limited memory space, sees a long "stream" of local constraints on a set of…
It is often possible to perform reduced order modelling by specifying linear subspace which accurately captures the dynamics of the system. This approach becomes especially appealing when linear subspace explicitly depends on parameters of…
In a streaming constraint satisfaction problem (streaming CSP), a $p$-pass algorithm receives the constraints of an instance sequentially, making $p$ passes over the input in a fixed order, with the goal of approximating the maximum…
We study the problem of solving semidefinite programs (SDP) in the streaming model. Specifically, $m$ constraint matrices and a target matrix $C$, all of size $n\times n$ together with a vector $b\in \mathbb{R}^m$ are streamed to us…
We study the classic set cover problem in the streaming model: the sets that comprise the instance are revealed one by one in a stream and the goal is to solve the problem by making one or few passes over the stream while maintaining a…
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…
In this paper, we study streaming algorithms that minimize the number of changes made to their internal state (i.e., memory contents). While the design of streaming algorithms typically focuses on minimizing space and update time, these…
