We introduce a new regression problem which we call the Sum-Based Hierarchical Smoothing problem. Given a directed acyclic graph and a non-negative value, called target value, for each vertex in the graph, we wish to find non-negative…
We present a simple and faster algorithm for computing fair cuts on undirected graphs, a concept introduced in recent work of Li et al. (SODA 2023). Informally, for any parameter $\epsilon>0$, a $(1+\epsilon)$-fair $(s,t)$-cut is an…
We study which property testing and sublinear time algorithms can be transformed into graph streaming algorithms for random order streams. Our main result is that for bounded degree graphs, any property that is constant-query testable in…
In many applications that involve the inference of an unknown smooth function, the inference of its derivatives will often be just as important as that of the function itself. To make joint inferences of the function and its derivatives, a…

We introduce the poly-streaming model, a generalization of streaming models of computation in which $k$ processors process $k$ data streams containing a total of $N$ items. The algorithm is allowed $O\left(f(k)\cdot M_1\right)$ space, where…
In the weighted load balancing problem, the input is an $n$-vertex bipartite graph between a set of clients and a set of servers, and each client comes with some nonnegative real weight. The output is an assignment that maps each client to…
We describe approximation algorithms in Linial's classic LOCAL model of distributed computing to find maximum-weight matchings in a hypergraph of rank $r$. Our main result is a deterministic algorithm to generate a matching which is an…
In this paper, we show new data structures maintaining approximate shortest paths in sparse directed graphs with polynomially bounded non-negative edge weights under edge insertions. We give more efficient incremental…
A sliding window algorithm receives a stream of symbols and has to output at each time instant a certain value which only depends on the last $n$ symbols. If the algorithm is randomized, then at each time instant it produces an incorrect…
Additive spanners are fundamental graph structures with wide applications in network design, graph sparsification, and distance approximation. In particular, a $4$-additive spanner is a subgraph that preserves all pairwise distances up to…
We show an $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithm for maintaining maximum $s$-$t$ flow under $m$ edge insertions in $m^{1/2+o(1)} \epsilon^{-1/2}$ amortized update time for directed, unweighted graphs. This constitutes the first sublinear…
We analyze stochastic algorithms for optimizing nonconvex, nonsmooth finite-sum problems, where the nonconvex part is smooth and the nonsmooth part is convex. Surprisingly, unlike the smooth case, our knowledge of this fundamental problem…
The semi-streaming model is a variant of the streaming model frequently used for the computation of graph problems. It allows the edges of an $n$-node input graph to be read sequentially in $p$ passes using $\tilde{O}(n)$ space. In this…

Graph spanners and emulators are sparse structures that approximately preserve distances of the original graph. While there has been an extensive amount of work on additive spanners, so far little attention was given to weighted graphs.…
In the semi-streaming model, an algorithm must process any $n$-vertex graph by making one or few passes over a stream of its edges, use $O(n \cdot \text{polylog }n)$ words of space, and at the end of the last pass, output a solution to the…
