Let $H_n$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and let $\ber{H_n}$ denote the complement of $H_n$. Suppose that $\Delta = \Delta(n)$ is the maximum degree of $\ber{H_n}$. We analyse three algorithms for sampling $d$-regular subgraphs ($d$-factors) of…

We consider the sensitivity of algorithms for the maximum matching problem against edge and vertex modifications. Algorithms with low sensitivity are desirable because they are robust to edge failure or attack. In this work, we show a…

This paper studies the set cover problem under the semi-streaming model. The underlying set system is formalized in terms of a hypergraph $G = (V, E)$ whose edges arrive one-by-one and the goal is to construct an edge cover $F \subseteq E$…
We prove that any semi-streaming algorithm for $(1-\epsilon)$-approximation of maximum bipartite matching requires \[ \Omega(\frac{\log{(1/\epsilon)}}{{\log{(1/\beta)}}}) \] passes, where $\beta \in (0,1)$ is the largest parameter so that…
A semi-streaming algorithm in dynamic graph streams processes any $n$-vertex graph by making one or multiple passes over a stream of insertions and deletions to edges of the graph and using $O(n \cdot \mbox{polylog}(n))$ space.…

Randomized parallel algorithms for many fundamental problems achieve optimal linear work in expectation, but upgrading this guarantee to hold with high probability (whp) remains a recurring theoretical challenge. In this paper, we address…
A \emph{saddlepoint} of an $n \times n$ matrix is an entry that is the maximum of its row and the minimum of its column. Saddlepoints give the \emph{value} of a two-player zero-sum game, corresponding to its pure-strategy Nash equilibria;…
We present algorithms for the Max-Cover and Max-Unique-Cover problems in the data stream model. The input to both problems are $m$ subsets of a universe of size $n$ and a value $k\in [m]$. In Max-Cover, the problem is to find a collection…
The area of sublinear algorithms have recently received a lot of attention. In this setting, one has to choose specific access model for the input, as the algorithm does not have time to pre-process or even to see the whole input. A…
A single-commodity congestion approximator for a graph is a compact data structure that approximately predicts the edge congestion required to route any set of single-commodity flow demands in a network. A hierarchical congestion…
This paper resolves one of the longest standing basic problems in the streaming computational model. Namely, optimal construction of quantile sketches. An $\varepsilon$ approximate quantile sketch receives a stream of items $x_1,\ldots,x_n$…
We prove a lower bound on the space complexity of two-pass semi-streaming algorithms that approximate the maximum matching problem. The lower bound is parameterized by the density of Ruzsa-Szemeredi graphs: * Any two-pass semi-streaming…
We consider the independent set problem in the semi-streaming model. For any input graph $G=(V, E)$ with $n$ vertices, an independent set is a set of vertices with no edges between any two elements. In the semi-streaming model, $G$ is…
We study streaming algorithms for the maximum directed cut problem. The edges of an $n$-vertex directed graph arrive one by one in an arbitrary order, and the goal is to estimate the value of the maximum directed cut using a single pass and…
Finding the $r\times r$ submatrix of maximum volume of a matrix $A\in\mathbb R^{n\times n}$ is an NP hard problem that arises in a variety of applications. We propose a new greedy algorithm of cost $\mathcal O(n)$, for the case $A$…
In the online sorting problem, we have an array $A$ of $n$ cells, and receive a stream of $n$ items $x_1,\dots,x_n\in [0,1]$. When an item arrives, we need to immediately and irrevocably place it into an empty cell. The goal is to minimize…
A streaming algorithm is considered to be adversarially robust if it provides correct outputs with high probability even when the stream updates are chosen by an adversary who may observe and react to the past outputs of the algorithm. We…
