We describe an algorithm for finding Hamilton cycles in random graphs. Our model is the random graph $G=\gc$. In this model $G$ is drawn uniformly from graphs with vertex set $[n]$, $m$ edges and minimum degree at least three. We focus on…

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 quartet distance is a measure of similarity used to compare two unrooted phylogenetic trees on the same set of $n$ leaves, defined as the number of subsets of four leaves related by a different topology in both trees. After a series of…

Real-world graphs often manifest as a massive temporal stream of edges. The need for real-time analysis of such large graph streams has led to progress on low memory, one-pass streaming graph algorithms. These algorithms were designed for…
