Given a stream with frequencies $f_d$, for $d\in[n]$, we characterize the space necessary for approximating the frequency negative moments $F_p=\sum |f_d|^p$, where $p<0$ and the sum is taken over all items $d\in[n]$ with nonzero frequency,…

Max-convolution is an important problem closely resembling standard convolution; as such, max-convolution occurs frequently across many fields. Here we extend the method with fastest known worst-case runtime, which can be applied to…

Given a vector $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ induced by a turnstile stream $S$, a non-negative function $G: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, a perfect $G$-sampler outputs an index $i$ with probability $\frac{G(x_i)}{\sum_{j\in[n]}…

We consider the problem of computing distance between a pattern of length $n$ and all $n$-length subwords of a text in the streaming model. In the streaming setting, only the Hamming distance ($L_0$) has been studied. It is known that…

In the semi-streaming model, an algorithm must process any $n$-vertex graph by making one or few passes over a stream of its edges, use $O(n \cdot \text{polylog }n)$ words of space, and at the end of the last pass, output a solution to the…
