Maximum coverage and minimum set cover problems --collectively called coverage problems-- have been studied extensively in streaming models. However, previous research not only achieve sub-optimal approximation factors and space…

We study a stochastic program where the probability distribution of the uncertain problem parameters is unknown and only indirectly observed via finitely many correlated samples generated by an unknown Markov chain with $d$ states. We…

We study the complexity of the following problems in the streaming model. Membership testing for \DLIN We show that every language in \DLIN\ can be recognised by a randomized one-pass $O(\log n)$ space algorithm with inverse polynomial…

The dispersion problem has received much attention recently in the distributed computing literature. In this problem, $k\leq n$ agents placed initially arbitrarily on the nodes of an $n$-node, $m$-edge anonymous graph of maximum degree…

Stochastic Optimal Control Problems (SOCPs) plays a major role in the sequential decision-making challenges. There exist various iterative algorithms, under framework of stochastic maximum principle, that sequentially find the optimal…

A natural optimization model that formulates many online resource allocation and revenue management problems is the online linear program (LP) in which the constraint matrix is revealed column by column along with the corresponding…

The $k$-Facility Location problem is a generalization of the classical problems $k$-Median and Facility Location. The goal is to select a subset of at most $k$ facilities that minimizes the total cost of opened facilities and established…

We present a deterministic $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate maximum matching algorithm in $\mathsf{poly} 1/\varepsilon$ passes in the semi-streaming model, solving the long-standing open problem of breaking the exponential barrier in the…

We investigate the parameterized complexity of Vertex Cover parameterized by the difference between the size of the optimal solution and the value of the linear programming (LP) relaxation of the problem. By carefully analyzing the change…

Estimating the size of the maximum matching is a canonical problem in graph algorithms, and one that has attracted extensive study over a range of different computational models. We present improved streaming algorithms for approximating…

The streaming model was introduced to parameterized complexity independently by Fafianie and Kratsch [MFCS14] and by Chitnis, Cormode, Hajiaghayi and Monemizadeh [SODA15]. Subsequently, it was broadened by Chitnis, Cormode, Esfandiari,…

We describe a new algorithm for vertex cover with runtime $O^*(1.25284^k)$, where $k$ is the size of the desired solution and $O^*$ hides polynomial factors in the input size. This improves over previous runtime of $O^*(1.2738^k)$ due to…

We approach the Max-3-Cut problem through the lens of maximizing complex-valued quadratic forms and demonstrate that low-rank structure in the objective matrix can be exploited, leading to alternative algorithms to classical semidefinite…

We propose two one-pass streaming algorithms for the $\mathcal{NP}$-hard hypergraph matching problem. The first algorithm stores a small subset of potential matching edges in a stack using dual variables to select edges. It has an…

We consider the setting of vector valued non-linear dynamical systems $X_{t+1} = \phi(A^* X_t) + \eta_t$, where $\eta_t$ is unbiased noise and $\phi : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a known link function that satisfies certain {\em…

We establish the first update-time separation between dynamic algorithms against oblivious adversaries and those against adaptive adversaries in natural dynamic graph problems, based on popular fine-grained complexity hypotheses.…

Consider the following abstract coin tossing problem: Given a set of $n$ coins with unknown biases, find the most biased coin using a minimal number of coin tosses. This is a common abstraction of various exploration problems in theoretical…

Dynamic programming (DP) solves a variety of structured combinatorial problems by iteratively breaking them down into smaller subproblems. In spite of their versatility, DP algorithms are usually non-differentiable, which hampers their use…

The ellipsoid algorithm is a fundamental algorithm for computing a solution to the system of $m$ linear inequalities in $n$ variables $(P): A^{\top}x \le u$ when its set of solutions has positive volume. However, when $(P)$ is infeasible,…

We consider partially-specified optimization problems where the goal is to actively, but efficiently, acquire missing information about the problem in order to solve it. An algorithm designer wishes to solve a linear program (LP), $\max…
