The Maximum Induced Matching problem asks to find the maximum $k$ such that, given a graph $G=(V,E)$, can we find a subset of vertices $S$ of size $k$ for which every vertices $v$ in the induced graph $G[S]$ has exactly degree $1$. In this…
The Maximum Weight Independent Set (MWIS) problem is a well-known NP-hard problem. For graphs $G_1, G_2$, $G_1+G_2$ denotes the disjoint union of $G_1$ and $G_2$, and for a constant $l \ge 2$, $lG$ denotes the disjoint union of $l$ copies…

We consider the classic maximal and maximum independent set problems in three models of graph streams: In the edge-arrival model we see a stream of edges which collectively define a graph, this model has been well-studied for a variety of…
We present trade-offs in the incremental and fully dynamic settings to maintian a proper coloring. For any fully dynamic $2$-coloring algorithm, the maximum of the update time, number of recolorings, and query time is $\Omega(\log n)$. We…
In the Graph Reconstruction (GR) problem, a player initially only knows the vertex set $V$ of an input graph $G=(V, E)$ and is required to learn its set of edges $E$. To this end, the player submits queries to an oracle and must deduce $E$…

We present the first data structures that maintain near optimal maximum cardinality and maximum weighted matchings on sparse graphs in sublinear time per update. Our main result is a data structure that maintains a $(1+\epsilon)$…
We provide an algorithm which, with high probability, maintains a $(1-\epsilon)$-approximate maximum flow on an undirected graph undergoing $m$-edge additions in amortized $m^{o(1)} \epsilon^{-3}$ time per update. To obtain this result, we…
This paper addresses the cornerstone family of \emph{local problems} in distributed computing, and investigates the curious gap between randomized and deterministic solutions under bandwidth restrictions. Our main contribution is in…
In this paper, we consider the problem of approximating the densest subgraph in the dynamic graph stream model. In this model of computation, the input graph is defined by an arbitrary sequence of edge insertions and deletions and the goal…
There has been a surge of interest in spectral hypergraph sparsification, a natural generalization of spectral sparsification for graphs. In this paper, we present a simple fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining spectral hypergraph…
Given a directed graph $G$, a transitive reduction $G^t$ of $G$ (first studied by Aho, Garey, Ullman [SICOMP `72]) is a minimal subgraph of $G$ that preserves the reachability relation between every two vertices in $G$. In this paper, we…

We give a fully dynamic algorithm maintaining a $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximate directed densest subgraph in $\tilde{O}(\log^3(n)/\varepsilon^6)$ amortized time or $\tilde{O}(\log^4(n)/\varepsilon^7)$ worst-case time per edge update (where…
Recent years have seen extensive research on directed graph sparsification. In this work, we initiate the study of fast fully dynamic spectral and cut sparsification algorithms for directed graphs. We introduce a new notion of spectral…
Conditional lower bounds for dynamic graph problems has received a great deal of attention in recent years. While many results are now known for the fully-dynamic case and such bounds often imply worst-case bounds for the partially dynamic…
Depth first search (DFS) tree is a fundamental data structure for solving various problems in graphs. It is well known that it takes $O(m+n)$ time to build a DFS tree for a given undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. We…
