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 $\{0,1,\dots,W\}$,…

Probabilistic graphs are an abstraction that allow us to study randomized propagation in graphs. In a probabilistic graph, each edge is "active" with a certain probability, independent of the other edges. For two vertices $u,v$, a classic…
