We prove a lower bound on the space complexity of two-pass semi-streaming algorithms that approximate the maximum matching problem. The lower bound is parameterized by the density of Ruzsa-Szemeredi graphs: * Any two-pass semi-streaming algorithm for maximum matching has approximation ratio at least $(1- Omega(frac{log{RS(n)}}{log{n}}))$, where $RS(n)$ denotes the maximum number of induced matchings of size $Theta(n)$ in any $n$-vertex graph, i.e., the largest density of a Ruzsa-Szemeredi graph. Currently, it is known that $n^{Omega(1/!loglog{n})} leq RS(n) leq frac{n}{2^{O(log^*{!(n)})}}$ and closing this (large) gap between upper and lower bounds has remained a notoriously difficult problem in combinatorics. Under the plausible hypothesis that $RS(n) = n^{Omega(1)}$, our lower bound is the first to rule out small-constant approximation two-pass semi-streaming algorithms for the maximum matching problem, making progress on a longstanding open question in the graph streaming literature.
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 several o
Given two strings $S$ and $P$, the Episode Matching problem is to compute the length of the shortest substring of $S$ that contains $P$ as a subsequence. The best known upper bound for this problem is $tilde O(nm)$ by Das et al. (1997), where $n,m$ a
We present new lower bounds that show that a polynomial number of passes are necessary for solving some fundamental graph problems in the streaming model of computation. For instance, we show that any streaming algorithm that finds a weighted minimum
We study space-pass tradeoffs in graph streaming algorithms for parameter estimation and property testing problems such as estimating the size of maximum matchings and maximum cuts, weight of minimum spanning trees, or testing if a graph is connected
In this paper, we study linear programming based approaches to the maximum matching problem in the semi-streaming model. The semi-streaming model has gained attention as a model for processing massive graphs as the importance of such graphs has incre
