We study the maximum matching problem in the random-order semi-streaming setting. In this problem, the edges of an arbitrary $n$-vertex graph $G=(V, E)$ arrive in a stream one by one and in a random order. The goal is to have a single pass…

The Hierarchical Clustering (HC) problem consists of building a hierarchy of clusters to represent a given dataset. Motivated by the modern large-scale applications, we study the problem in the \streaming model, in which the memory is…

The classical comparison-based sorting problem asks us to find the underlying total order of a given set of elements, where we can only access the elements via comparisons. In this paper, we study a restricted version, where, as a hint, a…

Streaming is a model where an input graph is provided one edge at a time, instead of being able to inspect it at will. In this work, we take a parameterized approach by assuming a vertex cover of the graph is given, building on work of…

We propose two one-pass streaming algorithms for the $\mathcal{NP}$-hard hypergraph matching problem. The first algorithm stores a small subset of potential matching edges in a stack using dual variables to select edges. It has an…

Frequency estimation in data streams is one of the classical problems in streaming algorithms. Following much research, there are now almost matching upper and lower bounds for the trade-off needed between the number of samples and the…

We prove $n^{1+\Omega(1/p)}/p^{O(1)}$ lower bounds for the space complexity of $p$-pass streaming algorithms solving the following problems on $n$-vertex graphs: * testing if an undirected graph has a perfect matching (this implies lower…

We continue the study of the communication complexity of gap cycle counting problems. These problems have been introduced by Verbin and Yu [SODA 2011] and have found numerous applications in proving streaming lower bounds. In the noisy gap…

We present a novel framework closely linking the areas of property testing and data streaming algorithms in the setting of general graphs. It has been recently shown (Monemizadeh et al. 2017) that for bounded-degree graphs, any…

Recently, the saturation problem of $0$-$1$ matrices gained a lot of attention. This problem can be regarded as a saturation problem of ordered bipartite graphs. Motivated by this, we initiate the study of the saturation problem of ordered…

Let F be a set of ordered patterns, i.e., graphs whose vertices are linearly ordered. An F-free ordering of the vertices of a graph H is a linear ordering of V(H) such that none of patterns in F occurs as an induced ordered subgraph. We…

We are given an acyclic directed graph with one source, and a subset of its edges which contains exactly one outgoing edge for every non-sink vertex. These edges determine a unique path from the source to a sink. We can think of it as a…

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are directed graphs in which there is no path from a vertex to itself. DAGs are an omnipresent data structure in computer science and the problem of counting the DAGs of given number of vertices and to sample…
