In this short note, we give a novel algorithm for $O(1)$ round triangle counting in bounded arboricity graphs. Counting triangles in $O(1)$ rounds (exactly) is listed as one of the interesting remaining open problems in the recent survey of…

We present a randomized algorithm that computes a constant approximation of a graph's arboricity, using $\tilde{O}(n/\lambda)$ queries to adjacency lists and in the same time bound. Here, $n$ and $\lambda$ denote the number of nodes and the…

The performance of graph algorithms is often measured in terms of the number of traversed edges per second (TEPS). However, this performance metric is inadequate for a graph operation such as exact triangle counting. In triangle counting,…

We revisit the well-studied problem of triangle count estimation in graph streams. Given a graph represented as a stream of $m$ edges, our aim is to compute a $(1\pm\varepsilon)$-approximation to the triangle count $T$, using a small space…

Triangle counting is a fundamental problem in the analysis of large graphs. There is a rich body of work on this problem, in varying streaming and distributed models, yet all these algorithms require reading the whole input graph. In many…
