Maintaining maximal independent set in dynamic graph is a fundamental open problem in graph theory and the first sublinear time deterministic algorithm was came up by Assadi, Onak, Schieber and Solomon(STOC'18), which achieves $O(m^{3/4})$…
We consider the problem of maintaining an (approximately) minimum vertex cover in an $n$-node graph $G = (V, E)$ that is getting updated dynamically via a sequence of edge insertions/deletions. We show how to maintain a…
We study the classic problem of correlation clustering in dynamic node streams. In this setting, nodes are either added or randomly deleted over time, and each node pair is connected by a positive or negative edge. The objective is to…
In fully dynamic graphs, we know how to maintain a 2-approximation of maximum matching extremely fast, that is, in polylogarithmic update time or better. In a sharp contrast and despite extensive studies, all known algorithms that maintain…
We present two deterministic dynamic algorithms for the maximum matching problem. (1) An algorithm that maintains a $(2+\epsilon)$-approximate maximum matching in general graphs with $O(\text{poly}(\log n, 1/\epsilon))$ update time. (2) An…

Conditional lower bounds for dynamic graph problems has received a great deal of attention in recent years. While many results are now known for the fully-dynamic case and such bounds often imply worst-case bounds for the partially dynamic…
Given a sequence of adversarial point insertions and point deletions, is it possible to simultaneously optimize the approximation ratio, update time, and recourse for a $k$-clustering problem? If so, can this be achieved with worst-case…
Given a finite metric space $(X\cup Y, \mathbf{d})$ the $k$-median problem is to find a set of $k$ centers $C\subseteq Y$ that minimizes $\sum_{p\in X} \min_{c\in C} \mathbf{d}(p,c)$. In general metrics, the best polynomial time algorithm…
Most graphs in real life keep changing with time. These changes can be in the form of insertion or deletion of edges or vertices. Such rapidly changing graphs motivate us to study dynamic graph algorithms. However, three important graph…
We study Euclidean $k$-Means under the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, focusing on the \emph{fully-scalable} setting. Our main result is a fully-scalable $O((\log n/\log\log n)^2)$-approximation in $O(1)$ rounds. Previously,…
Clustering is a basic task in data analysis and machine learning, and the optimization of clustering objectives are well-studied optimization problems; amongst these, the $k$-Means objective is arguably the most well known. Given a…
In the dynamic minimum set cover problem, a challenge is to minimize the update time while guaranteeing close to the optimal $\min(O(\log n), f)$ approximation factor. (Throughout, $m$, $n$, $f$, and $C$ are parameters denoting the maximum…
We present data streaming algorithms for the $k$-median problem in high-dimensional dynamic geometric data streams, i.e. streams allowing both insertions and deletions of points from a discrete Euclidean space $\{1, 2, \ldots \Delta\}^d$.…
Motivated by an application from geodesy, we introduce a novel clustering problem which is a $k$-center (or k-diameter) problem with a side constraint. For the side constraint, we are given an undirected connectivity graph $G$ on the input…
