Computing the approximate quantiles or ranks of a stream is a fundamental task in data monitoring. Given a stream of elements $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$ and a query $x$, a relative-error quantile estimation algorithm can estimate the rank of…
In this paper, we present near-optimal space bounds for Lp-samplers. Given a stream of updates (additions and subtraction) to the coordinates of an underlying vector x \in R^n, a perfect Lp sampler outputs the i-th coordinate with…
We show that both clustering and subspace embeddings can be performed in the streaming model with the same asymptotic efficiency as in the central/offline setting. For $(k, z)$-clustering in the streaming model, we achieve a number of words…
Approximating quantiles and distributions over streaming data has been studied for roughly two decades now. Recently, Karnin, Lang, and Liberty proposed the first asymptotically optimal algorithm for doing so. This manuscript complements…
Given data stream $D = \{p_1,p_2,...,p_m\}$ of size $m$ of numbers from $\{1,..., n\}$, the frequency of $i$ is defined as $f_i = |\{j: p_j = i\}|$. The $k$-th \emph{frequency moment} of $D$ is defined as $F_k = \sum_{i=1}^n f_i^k$. We…
Estimating the second frequency moment $F_2$ of a data stream up to a $(1 \pm \varepsilon)$ factor is a central problem in the streaming literature. For errors $\varepsilon > \Omega(1/\sqrt{n})$, the tight bound…
Change point detection plays a fundamental role in many real-world applications, where the goal is to analyze and monitor the behaviour of a data stream. In this paper, we study change detection in binary streams. To this end, we use a…
Estimating frequency moments of data streams is a very well studied problem and tight bounds are known on the amount of space that is necessary and sufficient when the stream is adversarially ordered. Recently, motivated by various…
A streaming algorithm to compute the spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) of stationary random processes is presented. As new data becomes available, an incremental update of the truncated eigenbasis of the estimated…
Storing a counter incremented $N$ times would naively consume $O(\log N)$ bits of memory. In 1978 Morris described the very first streaming algorithm: the "Morris Counter". His algorithm's space bound is a random variable, and it has been…
In this note, we present a simple algorithm for computing a \emph{$k$-connectivity certificate} in dynamic graph streams. Our algorithm uses $O(n \log^2 n \cdot \max\{k, \log n \log k\})$ bits of space which improves upon the $O(kn \log^3…
In this paper, we present a new algorithm for maintaining linear sketches in turnstile streams with faster update time. As an application, we show that $\log n$ \texttt{Count} sketches or \texttt{CountMin} sketches with a constant number of…
This paper considers the fundamental convergence time for opportunistic scheduling over time-varying channels. The channel state probabilities are unknown and algorithms must perform some type of estimation and learning while they make…
The dynamic set cover problem has been subject to extensive research since the pioneering works of [Bhattacharya et al, 2015] and [Gupta et al, 2017]. The input is a set system $(U, S)$ on a fixed collection $S$ of sets and a dynamic…
This paper is devoted to the error analysis of a time-spectral algorithm for fractional diffusion problems of order $\alpha$ ($0 < \alpha < 1$). The solution regularity in the Sobolev space is revisited, and new regularity results in the…
In this paper, we resolve the one-pass space complexity of $L_p$ sampling for $p \in (0,2)$. Given a stream of updates (insertions and deletions) to the coordinates of an underlying vector $f \in \mathbb{R}^n$, a perfect $L_p$ sampler must…

We consider the problem of finding a minimum cut of a weighted graph presented as a single-pass stream. While graph sparsification in streams has been intensively studied, the specific application of finding minimum cuts in streams is less…
We give new upper and lower bounds for the {\em dynamic} set cover problem. First, we give a $(1+\epsilon) f$-approximation for fully dynamic set cover in $O(f^2\log n /\epsilon^5)$ (amortized) update time, for any $\epsilon > 0$, where $f$…
