In the maximum directed cut problem, the input is a directed graph $G=(V,E)$, and the goal is to pick a partition $V = S \cup (V \setminus S)$ of the vertices such that as many edges as possible go from $S$ to $V\setminus S$. Oblivious…

This paper introduces a special family of randomized algorithms for Max DICUT that we call oblivious algorithms. Let the bias of a vertex be the ratio between the total weight of its outgoing edges and the total weight of all its edges. An…

We give an $\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{n})$-space single-pass $0.483$-approximation streaming algorithm for estimating the maximum directed cut size (Max-DICUT) in a directed graph on $n$ vertices. This improves over an $O(\log n)$-space $4/9 <…

We initiate a study of the streaming complexity of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) when the constraints arrive in a random order. We show that there exists a CSP, namely $\textsf{Max-DICUT}$, for which random ordering makes a…

We explore the use of local algorithms in the design of streaming algorithms for the Maximum Directed Cut problem. Specifically, building on the local algorithm of Buchbinder et al. (FOCS'12) and Censor-Hillel et al. (ALGOSENSORS'17), we…

In the Max-Cut problem in the streaming model, an algorithm is given the edges of an unknown graph $G = (V,E)$ in some fixed order, and its goal is to approximate the size of the largest cut in $G$. Improving upon an earlier result of…

The Max-DICUT problem has gained a lot of attention in the streaming setting in recent years, and has so far served as a canonical problem for designing algorithms for general constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in this setting. A…

An ordering constraint satisfaction problem (OCSP) is defined by a family $\mathcal{F}$ of predicates mapping permutations on $\{1,\ldots,k\}$ to $\{0,1\}$. An instance of Max-OCSP($\mathcal{F}$) on $n$ variables consists of a list of…

We initiate a broad study of classical problems in the streaming model with insertions and deletions in the setting where we allow the approximation factor $\alpha$ to be much larger than $1$. Such algorithms can use significantly less…

We identify a connection between the approximability of CSPs in two models: (i) sublinear space streaming algorithms, and (ii) the basic LP relaxation. We show that whenever the basic LP admits an integrality gap, there is an…

We revisit the MaxSAT problem in the data stream model. In this problem, the stream consists of $m$ clauses that are disjunctions of literals drawn from $n$ Boolean variables. The objective is to find an assignment to the variables that…

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…

We study the classic NP-Hard problem of finding the maximum $k$-set coverage in the data stream model: given a set system of $m$ sets that are subsets of a universe $\{1,\ldots,n \}$, find the $k$ sets that cover the most number of distinct…

We show a dichotomy result for $p$-pass streaming algorithms for all CSPs and for up to polynomially many passes. More precisely, we prove that for any arity parameter $k$, finite alphabet $\Sigma$, collection $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-ary…

We study the maximum constraint satisfaction problem, Max-CSP, in the streaming setting. Given $n$ variables, the constraints arrive sequentially in an arbitrary order, with each constraint involving only a small subset of the variables.…

In stochastic convex optimization problems, most existing adaptive methods rely on prior knowledge about the diameter bound $D$ when the smoothness or the Lipschitz constant is unknown. This often significantly affects performance as only a…

A framework is proposed for the design and analysis of \emph{network-oblivious algorithms}, namely, algorithms that can run unchanged, yet efficiently, on a variety of machines characterized by different degrees of parallelism and…

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…

In a recent paper Chan et al. [SODA '19] proposed a relaxation of the notion of (full) memory obliviousness, which was introduced by Goldreich and Ostrovsky [J. ACM '96] and extensively researched by cryptographers. The new notion,…

Given a set of vectors $X = \{ x_1,\dots, x_n \} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, the Euclidean max-cut problem asks to partition the vectors into two parts so as to maximize the sum of Euclidean distances which cross the partition. We design new…
