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)…
Finding spanning trees under various constraints is a classic problem with applications in many fields. Recently, a novel notion of "dense" ("sparse") tree, and in particular spanning tree (DST and SST respectively), is introduced as the…
Tree projections provide a unifying framework to deal with most structural decomposition methods of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Within this framework, a CSP instance is decomposed into a number of sub-problems, called views,…
Networks are a natural representation of complex systems across the sciences, and higher-order dependencies are central to the understanding and modeling of these systems. However, in many practical applications such as online social…
We study the maximum constraint satisfaction problem, Max-CSP, in the streaming setting. Given $n$ variables, the constraints arrive sequentially in an arbitrary order, with each constraint involving only a small subset of the variables.…
In recent years, the problem of computing the frequencies of the induced $k$-vertex subgraphs of a graph, or \emph{$k$-graphlets}, has become central. One approach for this problem is to sample $k$-graphlets randomly. Classic algorithms for…
We consider the message complexity of verifying whether a given subgraph of the communication network forms a tree with specific properties both in the KT-$\rho$ (nodes know their $\rho$-hop neighborhood, including node IDs) and the KT-$0$…
Let be given a graph $G=(V,E)$ whose edge set is partitioned into a set $R$ of \emph{red} edges and a set $B$ of \emph{blue} edges, and assume that red edges are weighted and form a spanning tree of $G$. Then, the \emph{Stackelberg Minimum…
We study the distributed minimum spanning tree (MST) problem, a fundamental problem in distributed computing. It is well-known that distributed MST can be solved in $\tilde{O}(D+\sqrt{n})$ rounds in the standard CONGEST model (where $n$ is…

We establish nearly optimal upper and lower bounds for approximating decision tree splits in data streams. For regression with labels in the range $\{0,1,\ldots,M\}$, we give a one-pass algorithm using $\tilde{O}(M^2/\epsilon)$ space that…
We consider an important generalization of the Steiner tree problem, the \emph{Steiner forest problem}, in the Euclidean plane: the input is a multiset $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$, partitioned into $k$ color classes $C_1, C_2, \ldots, C_k…
We study the problem of partitioning integer sequences in the one-pass data streaming model. Given is an input stream of integers $X \in \{0, 1, \dots, m \}^n$ of length $n$ with maximum element $m$, and a parameter $p$. The goal is to…
For a weighted graph $G = (V, E, w)$ and a designated source vertex $s \in V$, a spanning tree that simultaneously approximates a shortest-path tree w.r.t. source $s$ and a minimum spanning tree is called a shallow-light tree (SLT).…
Trees with many leaves have applications on broadcasting, which is a method in networks for transferring a message to all recipients simultaneously. Internal nodes of a broadcasting tree require more expensive technology, because they have…
In this paper, we study weakly dynamic undirected graphs, that can be used to represent some logistic networks. The goal is to deliver all the delivery points in the network. The network exists in a mostly stable environment, except for a…
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…
Traditional graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) approaches, even though widely applied, are not suited for massive data and large label scenarios since they scale linearly with the number of edges $|E|$ and distinct labels $m$. To…
A tree-packing is a collection of spanning trees of a graph. It has been a useful tool for computing the minimum cut in static, dynamic, and distributed settings. In particular, [Thorup, Comb. 2007] used them to obtain his dynamic min-cut…
We investigate the complexity of finding a transformation from a given spanning tree in a graph to another given spanning tree in the same graph via a sequence of edge flips. The exchange property of the matroid bases immediately yields…
