A subset $M$ of the edges of a graph $G$ is a matching if no two edges in $M$ are incident. A maximal matching is a matching that is not contained in a larger matching. A subset $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices is a…
In this thesis, we explore streaming algorithms for approximating constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). The setup is roughly the following: A computer has limited memory space, sees a long "stream" of local constraints on a set of…
We study the space complexity of solving the bias-regularized SVM problem in the streaming model. This is a classic supervised learning problem that has drawn lots of attention, including for developing fast algorithms for solving the…
We initiate the investigation of the parameterized complexity of Diameter and Connectivity in the streaming paradigm. On the positive end, we show that knowing a vertex cover of size $k$ allows for algorithms in the Adjacency List (AL)…
We characterize the streaming space complexity of every symmetric norm $l$ (a norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ invariant under sign-flips and coordinate-permutations), by relating this space complexity to the measure-concentration characteristics of…
Recent breakthroughs in graph streaming have led to the design of single-pass semi-streaming algorithms for various graph coloring problems such as $(\Delta+1)$-coloring, degeneracy-coloring, coloring triangle-free graphs, and others. These…
We examine the minimum entropy coupling problem, where one must find the minimum entropy variable that has a given set of distributions $S = \{p_1, \dots, p_m \}$ as its marginals. Although this problem is NP-Hard, previous works have…
Finding a maximum-cardinality or maximum-weight matching in (edge-weighted) undirected graphs is among the most prominent problems of algorithmic graph theory. For $n$-vertex and $m$-edge graphs, the best known algorithms run in…
In the Connected Dominating Set problem we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and seek a minimum size dominating set $S \subseteq V$ such that the subgraph $G[S]$ of $G$ induced by $S$ is connected. In the $2$-Edge-Connected Dominating Set problem…
An $(f,g)$-semi-matching in a bipartite graph $G=(U \cup V,E)$ is a set of edges $M \subseteq E$ such that each vertex $u\in U$ is incident with at most $f(u)$ edges of $M$, and each vertex $v\in V$ is incident with at most $g(v)$ edges of…
Recently [Bhattacharya et al., STOC 2015] provide the first non-trivial algorithm for the densest subgraph problem in the streaming model with additions and deletions to its edges, i.e., for dynamic graph streams. They present a…
In this work, we propose a novel approach for subgraph matching, the problem of finding a given query graph in a large source graph, based on the fused Gromov-Wasserstein distance. We formulate the subgraph matching problem as a partial…
There are distributed graph algorithms for finding maximal matchings and maximal independent sets in $O(\Delta + \log^* n)$ communication rounds; here $n$ is the number of nodes and $\Delta$ is the maximum degree. The lower bound by Linial…
Many real-world applications pose challenges in incorporating fairness constraints into the $k$-center clustering problem, where the dataset consists of $m$ demographic groups, each with a specified upper bound on the number of centers to…
We introduce a new notion of information complexity for multi-pass streaming problems and use it to resolve several important questions in data streams. In the coin problem, one sees a stream of $n$ i.i.d. uniform bits and one would like to…
Despite a surge of interest in submodular maximization in the data stream model, there remain significant gaps in our knowledge about what can be achieved in this setting, especially when dealing with multiple constraints. In this work, we…
We study the one-way two-party communication complexity of Maximum Matching in the semi-robust setting where the edges of a maximum matching are randomly partitioned between Alice and Bob, but all remaining edges of the input graph are…
We give an algorithm that decides whether the bipartite crossing number of a given graph is at most $k$. The running time of the algorithm is upper bounded by $2^{O(k)} + n^{O(1)}$, where $n$ is the number of vertices of the input graph,…
The study of approximate matching in the Massively Parallel Computations (MPC) model has recently seen a burst of breakthroughs. Despite this progress, however, we still have a far more limited understanding of maximal matching which is one…
The local minimum degree of a graph is the minimum degree that can be reached by means of local complementation. For any n, there exist graphs of order n which have a local minimum degree at least 0.189n, or at least 0.110n when restricted…
