We study the problem of constructing hypergraph cut sparsifiers in the streaming model where a hypergraph on $n$ vertices is revealed either via an arbitrary sequence of hyperedge insertions alone ({\em insertion-only} streaming model) or…

Given a fully dynamic graph, represented as a stream of edge insertions and deletions, how can we obtain and incrementally update a lossless summary of its current snapshot? As large-scale graphs are prevalent, concisely representing them…

In 1999, Brodal and Fagerberg (BF) gave an algorithm for maintaining a low outdegree orientation of a dynamic uniformly sparse graph. Specifically, for a dynamic graph on $n$-vertices, with arboricity bounded by $\alpha$ at all times, the…

The notion of vertex sparsification is introduced in \cite{M}, where it was shown that for any graph $G = (V, E)$ and a subset of $k$ terminals $K \subset V$, there is a polynomial time algorithm to construct a graph $H = (K, E_H)$ on just…

We study a delay-sensitive information flow problem where a source streams information to a sink over a directed graph G(V,E) at a fixed rate R possibly using multiple paths to minimize the maximum end-to-end delay, denoted as the…

We present the first polynomial-time algorithm for computing a near-optimal \emph{flow}-expander decomposition. Given a graph $G$ and a parameter $\phi$, our algorithm removes at most a $\phi\log^{1+o(1)}n$ fraction of edges so that every…

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.…

The (non-uniform) sparsest cut problem is the following graph-partitioning problem: given a "supply" graph, and demands on pairs of vertices, delete some subset of supply edges to minimize the ratio of the supply edges cut to the total…

Whether a graph $G=(V,E)$ is connected is arguably its most fundamental property. Naturally, connectivity was the first characteristic studied for dynamic graphs, i.e. graphs that undergo edge insertions and deletions. While connectivity…
