Consider the following stochastic matching problem. Given a graph $G=(V, E)$, an unknown subgraph $G_p = (V, E_p)$ is realized where $E_p$ includes every edge of $E$ independently with some probability $p \in (0, 1]$. The goal is to query a…
Given a stream of heterogeneous graphs containing different types of nodes and edges, how can we spot anomalous ones in real-time while consuming bounded memory? This problem is motivated by and generalizes from its application in security…

In the subgraph counting problem, we are given a input graph $G(V, E)$ and a target graph $H$; the goal is to estimate the number of occurrences of $H$ in $G$. Our focus here is on designing sublinear-time algorithms for approximately…
An important objective for analyzing real-world graphs is to achieve scalable performance on large, streaming graphs. A challenging and relevant example is the graph partition problem. As a combinatorial problem, graph partition is NP-hard,…
The maximum common subtree isomorphism problem asks for the largest possible isomorphism between subtrees of two given input trees. This problem is a natural restriction of the maximum common subgraph problem, which is ${\sf NP}$-hard in…
We consider the problem of estimating the value of max cut in a graph in the streaming model of computation. At one extreme, there is a trivial $2$-approximation for this problem that uses only $O(\log n)$ space, namely, count the number of…
For a graph $G$, let $Z(G,\lambda)$ be the partition function of the monomer-dimer system defined by $\sum_k m_k(G)\lambda^k$, where $m_k(G)$ is the number of matchings of size $k$ in $G$. We consider graphs of bounded degree and develop a…
The Subgraph Matching (SM) problem consists of finding all the embeddings of a given small graph, called the query, into a large graph, called the target. The SM problem has been widely studied for simple graphs, i.e. graphs where there is…
Roughgarden, Vassilvitskii, and Wang (JACM 18) recently introduced a novel framework for proving lower bounds for Massively Parallel Computation using techniques from boolean function complexity. We extend their framework in two different…

We study the "set parameterized matching" problem, a generalization of the classical parameterized matching problem introduced by Baker. In set parameterized matching, both the pattern and text are sequences where each position contains a…
A black hole is considered to be a dangerous node present in a graph that disposes of any resources that enter that node. Therefore, it is essential to find such a node in the graph. Let a group of agents be present on a graph $G$. The…
