Abstract: We consider the unweighted bipartite maximum matching problem in the one-pass turnstile streaming model where the input stream consists of edge insertions and deletions. In the insertion-only model, a one-pass 2-approximation streaming algorithm can be easily obtained with space O(nlogn), where n denotes the number of vertices of the input graph. We show that no such result is possible if edge deletions are allowed, even if space O(n3/2delta) is granted, for every delta>0. Specifically, for every 0leepsilonle1, we show that in the one-pass turnstile streaming model, in order to compute a O(nepsilon)-approximation, space Omega(n3/24epsilon) is required for constant error randomized algorithms, and, up to logarithmic factors, space O(n22epsilon) is sufficient. Our lower bound result is proved in the simultaneous message model of communication and may be of independent interest.
