We study streaming algorithms in the white-box adversarial model, where the stream is chosen adaptively by an adversary who observes the entire internal state of the algorithm at each time step. We show that nontrivial algorithms are still…

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…

Recently, the question of adversarially robust streaming, where the stream is allowed to depend on the randomness of the streaming algorithm, has gained a lot of attention. In this work, we consider a strong white-box adversarial model…

We study the problem of partitioning integer sequences in the one-pass data streaming model. Given is an input stream of integers $X \in \{0, 1, \dots, m \}^n$ of length $n$ with maximum element $m$, and a parameter $p$. The goal is to…

Robust streaming, the study of streaming algorithms that provably work when the stream is generated by an adaptive adversary, has seen tremendous progress in recent years. However, fundamental barriers remain: the best known algorithm for…

A streaming algorithm is said to be adversarially robust if its accuracy guarantees are maintained even when the data stream is chosen maliciously, by an adaptive adversary. We establish a connection between adversarial robustness of…

We consider low-space algorithms for the classic Element Distinctness problem: given an array of $n$ input integers with $O(\log n)$ bit-length, decide whether or not all elements are pairwise distinct. Beame, Clifford, and Machmouchi [FOCS…

We consider the problem of finding a minimum cut of a weighted graph presented as a single-pass stream. While graph sparsification in streams has been intensively studied, the specific application of finding minimum cuts in streams is less…
