Perfect $L_p$ sampling in a stream was introduced by Jayaram and Woodruff (FOCS 2018) as a streaming primitive which, given turnstile updates to a vector $x \in \{-\text{poly}(n), \ldots, \text{poly}(n)\}^n$, outputs an index $i^* \in \{1,…

Sampling edges from a graph in sublinear time is a fundamental problem and a powerful subroutine for designing sublinear-time algorithms. Suppose we have access to the vertices of the graph and know a constant-factor approximation to the…

We introduce a new computational model for data streams: asymptotically exact streaming algorithms. These algorithms have an approximation ratio that tends to one as the length of the stream goes to infinity while the memory used by the…
