We show a dichotomy result for $p$-pass streaming algorithms for all CSPs and for up to polynomially many passes. More precisely, we prove that for any arity parameter $k$, finite alphabet $\Sigma$, collection $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-ary…

We present a new streaming algorithm for the $k$-Mismatch problem, one of the most basic problems in pattern matching. Given a pattern and a text, the task is to find all substrings of the text that are at the Hamming distance at most $k$…

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 the Max $r$-SAT problem, the input is a CNF formula with $n$ variables where each clause is a disjunction of at most $r$ literals. The objective is to compute an assignment which satisfies as many of the clauses as possible. While there…
