| Abstract | We study the problem of estimating the maximum matching size in graphs whose edges are revealed in a streaming manner. We consider both insertion-only streams, which only contain edge insertions, and dynamic streams that allow both insertions and deletions of the edges, and present new upper and lower bound results for both cases. On the upper bound front, we show that an α-approximate estimate of the matching size can be computed in dynamic streams using $Õ(n^{2}/α^{4})$ space, and in insertion-only streams using $Õ(n/α^{2})-space.$ These bounds respectively shave off a factor of α from the space necessary to compute an α-approximate matching (as opposed to only size), thus proving a non-trivial separation between approximate estimation and approximate computation of matchings in data streams. On the lower bound front, we prove that any α-approximation algorithm for estimating matching size in dynamic graph streams requires [EQUATION] bits of space, even if the underlying graph is both sparse and has arboricity bounded by O(α). We further improve our lower bound to $Ω(n/α^{2})$ in the case of dense graphs. These results establish the first non-trivial streaming lower bounds for super-constant approximation of matching size. Furthermore, we present the first super-linear space lower bound for computing a (1 + ε)-approximation of matching size even in insertion-only streams. In particular, we prove that a (1 + ε)-approximation to matching size requires RS(n) · $n^{1™O(ε)}$ space; here, RS(n) denotes the maximum number of edge-disjoint induced matchings of size Θ(n) in an n-vertex graph. It is a major open problem with far-reaching implications to determine the value of RS(n), and current results leave open the possibility that RS(n) may be as large as n/log n. Moreover, using the best known lower bounds for RS(n), our result already rules out any O(n · poly(log n/ε))-space algorithm for (1 + ε)-approximation of matchings. We also show how to avoid the dependency on the parameter RS(n) in proving lower bound for dynamic streams and present a near-optimal lower bound of $n^{2™O(ε)}$ for (1 + ε)-approximation in this model. Using a well-known connection between matching size and matrix rank, all our lower bounds also hold for the problem of estimating matrix rank. In particular our results imply a near-optimal $n^{2™O(ε)}$ bit lower bound for (1 + ε)-approximation of matrix ranks for dense matrices in dynamic streams, answering an open question of Li and Woodruff (STOC 2016). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
