We consider the sensitivity of algorithms for the maximum matching problem against edge and vertex modifications. Algorithms with low sensitivity are desirable because they are robust to edge failure or attack. In this work, we show a…
Graph coloring is a fundamental problem in computer science. In the semi-streaming model, an input graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and maximum degree $\Delta$ is presented as a stream of edges, and the goal is to compute a vertex coloring using a…
In this paper we consider graph algorithms in models of computation where the space usage (random accessible storage, in addition to the read only input) is sublinear in the number of edges $m$ and the access to input data is constrained.…
We show that both clustering and subspace embeddings can be performed in the streaming model with the same asymptotic efficiency as in the central/offline setting. For $(k, z)$-clustering in the streaming model, we achieve a number of words…
In the weighted load balancing problem, the input is an $n$-vertex bipartite graph between a set of clients and a set of servers, and each client comes with some nonnegative real weight. The output is an assignment that maps each client to…
Given a large graph, the densest-subgraph problem asks to find a subgraph with maximum average degree. When considering the top-$k$ version of this problem, a na\"ive solution is to iteratively find the densest subgraph and remove it in…
The {\em maximum cardinality} and {\em maximum weight matching} problems can be solved in time $\tilde{O}(m\sqrt{n})$, a bound that has resisted improvement despite decades of research. (Here $m$ and $n$ are the number of edges and…
We consider a variation of the spectral sparsification problem where we are required to keep a subgraph of the original graph. Formally, given a union of two weighted graphs $G$ and $W$ and an integer $k$, we are asked to find a $k$-edge…
The study of parameterized streaming complexity on graph problems was initiated by Fafianie et al. (MFCS'14) and Chitnis et al. (SODA'15 and SODA'16). Simply put, the main goal is to design streaming algorithms for parameterized problems…
We revisit the classic problem of dynamically maintaining shortest paths between all pairs of nodes of a directed weighted graph. The allowed updates are insertions and deletions of nodes and their incident edges. We give worst-case…
We reduce the best known approximation ratio for finding a weighted matching of a graph using a one-pass semi-streaming algorithm from 5.828 to 5.585. The semi-streaming model forbids random access to the input and restricts the memory to…
We present deterministic distributed algorithms for computing approximate maximum cardinality matchings and approximate maximum weight matchings. Our algorithm for the unweighted case computes a matching whose size is at least $(1-\eps)$…
Finding optimal matchings in dense graphs is of general interest and of particular importance in social, transportation and biological networks. While developing optimal solutions for various matching problems is important, the running…
Baswana, Gupta and Sen [FOCS'11] showed that fully dynamic maximal matching can be maintained in general graphs with logarithmic amortized update time. More specifically, starting from an empty graph on $n$ fixed vertices, they devised a…

In the $k$-mismatch problem we are given a pattern of length $n$ and a text and must find all locations where the Hamming distance between the pattern and the text is at most $k$. A series of recent breakthroughs have resulted in an…
Most graphs in real life keep changing with time. These changes can be in the form of insertion or deletion of edges or vertices. Such rapidly changing graphs motivate us to study dynamic graph algorithms. However, three important graph…
We provide an algorithm requiring only $O(N^2)$ time to compute the maximum weight independent set of interval filament graphs. This also implies an $O(N^4)$ algorithm to compute the maximum weight induced matching of interval filament…
In this paper, we develop the first one-pass streaming algorithm for submodular maximization that does not evaluate the entire stream even once. By carefully subsampling each element of data stream, our algorithm enjoys the tightest…
