We study the problem of computing an approximate maximum cardinality matching in the semi-streaming model when edges arrive in a \emph{random} order. In the semi-streaming model, the edges of the input graph G = (V,E) are given as a stream…

In this paper, we consider two fundamental cut approximation problems on large graphs. We prove new lower bounds for both problems that are optimal up to logarithmic factors. The first problem is to approximate cuts in balanced directed…

Set cover, over a universe of size $n$, may be modelled as a data-streaming problem, where the $m$ sets that comprise the instance are to be read one by one. A semi-streaming algorithm is allowed only $O(n\, \mathrm{poly}\{\log n, \log…
