We study fundamental directed graph (digraph) problems in the streaming model. An initial investigation by Chakrabarti, Ghosh, McGregor, and Vorotnikova [SODA'20] on streaming digraphs showed that while most of these problems are provably…

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…

We present a unified framework for proving memory lower bounds for multi-pass streaming algorithms that detect planted structures. Planted structures -- such as cliques or bicliques in graphs, and sparse signals in high-dimensional data --…

We investigate the space complexity of two graph streaming problems: Max-Cut and its quantum analogue, Quantum Max-Cut. Previous work by Kapralov and Krachun [STOC `19] resolved the classical complexity of the \emph{classical} problem,…

In the semi-streaming model, an algorithm must process any $n$-vertex graph by making one or few passes over a stream of its edges, use $O(n \cdot \text{polylog }n)$ words of space, and at the end of the last pass, output a solution to the…

We present a streaming algorithm for the vertex connectivity problem in dynamic streams with a (nearly) optimal space bound: for any $n$-vertex graph $G$ and any integer $k \geq 1$, our algorithm with high probability outputs whether or not…
