Abstract

We present a new algorithm for approximating the number of triangles in a graph G whose edges arrive as an arbitrary order stream. If m is the number of edges in G, T the number of triangles, Δ_E the maximum number of triangles which share a single edge, and Δ_V the maximum number of triangles which share a single vertex, then our algorithm requires space: Õ(m/T⋅(Δ_E + √{Δ_V})) Taken with the Ω((m Δ_E)/T) lower bound of Braverman, Ostrovsky, and Vilenchik (ICALP 2013), and the Ω((m √{Δ_V})/T) lower bound of Kallaugher and Price (SODA 2017), our algorithm is optimal up to log factors, resolving the complexity of a classic problem in graph streaming.
