We study fundamental directed graph (digraph) problems in the streaming model. An initial investigation by Chakrabarti, Ghosh, McGregor, and Vorotnikova [SODA'20] on streaming digraphs showed that while most of these problems are provably…

We present a simple greedy procedure to compute an $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner for a graph $G$. We then show that this procedure is useful for building fault-tolerant spanners, as well as spanners for weighted graphs. Our first main result is…

We study the problem of embedding graphs in the plane as good geometric spanners. That is, for a graph $G$, the goal is to construct a straight-line drawing $\Gamma$ of $G$ in the plane such that, for any two vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$,…

Algorithms in the data stream model use $O(polylog(N))$ space to compute some property of an input of size $N$, and many of these algorithms are implemented and used in practice. However, sketching algorithms in the graph semi-streaming…

We give a simple algorithm for maintaining a $n^{o(1)}$-approximate spanner $H$ of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices as $G$ receives edge updates by reduction to the dynamic All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem. Given an initially empty…
