We present a new approach for finding matchings in dense graphs by building on Szemer\'edi's celebrated Regularity Lemma. This allows us to obtain non-trivial albeit slight improvements over longstanding bounds for matchings in streaming…
In this paper we consider the problem of finding a maximum weight set subject to a $k$-extendible constraint in the data stream model. The only non-trivial algorithm known for this problem to date---to the best of our knowledge---is a…

Given a finite set of points $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, we would like to find a small subset $S \subseteq P$ such that the convex hull of $S$ approximately contains $P$. More formally, every point in $P$ is within distance $\epsilon$ from…
We study four-cycle counting in arbitrary order graph streams. We present a 3-pass algorithm for $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximating the number of four-cycles using $\widetilde{O}(m/\sqrt{T})$ space, where $m$ is the number of edges and $T$ the…
We consider single-source shortest path algorithms that perform a sequence of relaxation steps whose ordering depends only on the input graph structure and not on its weights or the results of prior steps. Each step examines one edge of the…
We study the Minimum Crossing Number problem: given an $n$-vertex graph $G$, the goal is to find a drawing of $G$ in the plane with minimum number of edge crossings. This is one of the central problems in topological graph theory, that has…
While in many graph mining applications it is crucial to handle a stream of updates efficiently in terms of {\em both} time and space, not much was known about achieving such type of algorithm. In this paper we study this issue for a…
Many problems on data streams have been studied at two extremes of difficulty: either allowing randomized algorithms, in the static setting (where they should err with bounded probability on the worst case stream); or when only…
A distributed network is modeled by a graph having $n$ nodes (processors) and diameter $D$. We study the time complexity of approximating {\em weighted} (undirected) shortest paths on distributed networks with a $O(\log n)$ {\em bandwidth…
We present the first semi-streaming PTAS for the minimum feedback arc set problem on directed tournaments in a small number of passes. Namely, we obtain a $(1 + \varepsilon)$-approximation in polynomial time $O \left( \text{poly}(n)…
We prove that any two-pass graph streaming algorithm for the $s$-$t$ reachability problem in $n$-vertex directed graphs requires near-quadratic space of $n^{2-o(1)}$ bits. As a corollary, we also obtain near-quadratic space lower bounds for…
The packet routing problem asks to select routing paths that minimize the maximum edge congestion for a set of packets specified by source-destination vertex pairs. We revisit a semi-oblivious approach to this problem: each…

Recent breakthroughs in graph streaming have led to the design of single-pass semi-streaming algorithms for various graph coloring problems such as $(\Delta+1)$-coloring, degeneracy-coloring, coloring triangle-free graphs, and others. These…
We revisit the MaxSAT problem in the data stream model. In this problem, the stream consists of $m$ clauses that are disjunctions of literals drawn from $n$ Boolean variables. The objective is to find an assignment to the variables that…
Let G = (V,E) be a planar n-vertex digraph. Consider the problem of computing max st-flow values in G from a fixed source s to all sinks t in V\{s}. We show how to solve this problem in near-linear O(n log^3 n) time. Previously, no better…
