We develop a new algorithmic technique that allows to transfer some constant time approximation algorithms for general graphs into random order streaming algorithms. We illustrate our technique by proving that in random order streams with…

Max-k-Cut and correlation clustering are fundamental graph partitioning problems. For a graph with G=(V,E) with n vertices, the methods with the best approximation guarantees for Max-k-Cut and the Max-Agree variant of correlation clustering…

In this paper, we present an efficient massively parallel approximation algorithm for the $k$-means problem. Specifically, we provide an MPC algorithm that computes a constant-factor approximation to an arbitrary $k$-means instance in…

In this paper we describe a new algorithm called Fast Adaptive Sequencing Technique (FAST) for maximizing a monotone submodular function under a cardinality constraint $k$ whose approximation ratio is arbitrarily close to $1-1/e$, is…

For an ordered point set in a Euclidean space or, more generally, in an abstract metric space, the ordered Nearest Neighbor Graph is obtained by connecting each of the points to its closest predecessor by a directed edge. We show that for…

For sink-free orientations in graphs of minimum degree at least $3$, we show that there is a deterministic approximate counting algorithm that runs in time $O((n^{73}/\varepsilon^{72})\log(n/\varepsilon))$, a near-linear time sampling…

We present a new, simple, algorithm for the local vertex connectivity problem (LocalVC) introduced by Nanongkai~et~al. [STOC'19]. Roughly, given an undirected unweighted graph $G$, a seed vertex $x$, a target volume $\nu$, and a target…

We prove that given a discrete space with $n$ points which is either embedded in a system of $k$ trees, or the Cartesian product of $k$ trees, we can compute all eccentricities in ${\cal O}(2^{{\cal O}(k\log{k})}(N+n)^{1+o(1)})$ time, where…

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…

We consider the problem of estimating the value of max cut in a graph in the streaming model of computation. At one extreme, there is a trivial $2$-approximation for this problem that uses only $O(\log n)$ space, namely, count the number of…

In this paper, we introduce a new model for sublinear algorithms called \emph{dynamic sketching}. In this model, the underlying data is partitioned into a large \emph{static} part and a small \emph{dynamic} part and the goal is to compute a…

We study the streaming complexity of $k$-counter approximate counting. In the $k$-counter approximate counting problem, we are given an input string in $[k]^n$, and we are required to approximate the number of each $j$'s ($j\in[k]$) in the…

Maximal clique enumeration is a fundamental graph mining task, but its utility is often limited by computational intractability and highly redundant output. To address these challenges, we introduce \emph{$\rho$-dense aggregators}, a novel…

Efficient algorithms for $k$-means clustering frequently converge to suboptimal partitions, and given a partition, it is difficult to detect $k$-means optimality. In this paper, we develop an a posteriori certifier of approximate optimality…

In this work, we consider the problem of sampling a $k$-clique in a graph from an almost uniform distribution in sublinear time in the general graph query model. Specifically the algorithm should output each $k$-clique with probability…

We consider the \emph{approximate minimum selection} problem in presence of \emph{independent random comparison faults}. This problem asks to select one of the smallest $k$ elements in a linearly-ordered collection of $n$ elements by only…

An NP-hard problem is considered of intersecting a given set of $n$ straight line segments on the plane with the smallest cardinality set of disks of fixed radii $r>0,$ where the set of segments forms a straight line drawing $G=(V,E)$ of a…

Given an $n$-vertex non-negatively real-weighted graph $G$, whose vertices are partitioned into a set of $k$ clusters, a \emph{clustered network design problem} on $G$ consists of solving a given network design optimization problem on $G$,…

For an integer $k\geq 1$, the objective of \textsc{$k$-Geodesic Center} is to find a set $\mathcal{C}$ of $k$ isometric paths such that the maximum distance between any vertex $v$ and $\mathcal{C}$ is minimised. Introduced by Gromov,…

This paper presents constant-time and near-constant-time distributed algorithms for a variety of problems in the congested clique model. We show how to compute a 3-ruling set in expected $O(\log \log \log n)$ rounds and using this, we…
