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,…
We show that in the quantum query model the complexity of detecting a triangle in an undirected graph on $n$ nodes can be done using $O(n^{1+{3\over 7}}\log^{2}n)$ quantum queries. The same complexity bound applies for outputting the…
We present subquadratic algorithms in the algebraic decision-tree model for several \textsc{3Sum}-hard geometric problems, all of which can be reduced to the following question: Given two sets $A$, $B$, each consisting of $n$ pairwise…
A simple-triangle graph is the intersection graph of triangles that are defined by a point on a horizontal line and an interval on another horizontal line. The time complexity of the recognition problem for simple-triangle graphs was a…
Given a set of $n$ circular arcs of the same radius in the plane, we consider the problem of computing the number of intersections among the arcs. The problem was studied before and the previously best algorithm solves the problem in…
In this paper, we revisit the problem of sampling edges in an unknown graph $G = (V, E)$ from a distribution that is (pointwise) almost uniform over $E$. We consider the case where there is some a priori upper bound on the arboriciy of $G$.…
We consider the problem of augmenting an $n$-vertex tree with one shortcut in order to minimize the diameter of the resulting graph. The tree is embedded in an unknown space and we have access to an oracle that, when queried on a pair of…
We consider the massively parallel computation (MPC) model, which is a theoretical abstraction of large-scale parallel processing models such as MapReduce. In this model, assuming the widely believed 1-vs-2-cycles conjecture, solving many…
We study the parallel complexity of finding a basis of a graphic matroid under independence-oracle access. Karp, Upfal, and Wigderson (FOCS 1985, JCSS 1988) initiated the study of this problem and established two algorithms for finding a…
Recently, considerable efforts have been devoted to approximately computing the global and local (i.e., incident to each node) triangle counts of a large graph stream represented as a sequence of edges. Existing approximate triangle…
The success of modern parallel paradigms such as MapReduce, Hadoop, or Spark, has attracted a significant attention to the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model over the past few years, especially on graph problems. In this work, we…
We generalize the notions of flippable and simultaneously flippable edges in a triangulation of a set S of points in the plane to so-called \emph{pseudo-simultaneously flippable edges}. Such edges are related to the notion of convex…
Motivated by the counting results for color-critical subgraphs by Mubayi [Adv. Math., 2010], we study the phenomenon behind Mubayi's theorem from a spectral perspective and start up this problem with the fundamental case of triangles. We…
In this work, we present the first efficient and practical algorithm for estimating the number of triangles in a graph stream using predictions. Our algorithm combines waiting room sampling and reservoir sampling with a predictor for the…
We study fundamental graph problems such as graph connectivity, minimum spanning forest (MSF), and approximate maximum (weight) matching in a distributed setting. In particular, we focus on the Adaptive Massively Parallel Computation (AMPC)…
We present a randomized distributed algorithm that computes a $\Delta$-coloring in any non-complete graph with maximum degree $\Delta \geq 4$ in $O(\log \Delta) + 2^{O(\sqrt{\log\log n})}$ rounds, as well as a randomized algorithm that…
An extremity is a vertex such that the removal of its closed neighbourhood does not increase the number of connected components. Let $Ext_{\alpha}$ be the class of all connected graphs whose quotient graph obtained from modular…
We develop a new framework for generalizing approximation algorithms from the structural graph algorithm literature so that they apply to graphs somewhat close to that class (a scenario we expect is common when working with real-world…
This paper gives simple distributed algorithms for the fundamental problem of computing graph distances in the Congested Clique model. One of the main components of our algorithms is fast matrix multiplication, for which we show an…
We define a natural class of range query problems, and prove that all problems within this class have the same time complexity (up to polylogarithmic factors). The equivalence is very general, and even applies to online algorithms. This…
