We revisit the complexity of online computation in the cell probe model. We consider a class of problems where we are first given a fixed pattern or vector $F$ of $n$ symbols and then one symbol arrives at a time in a stream. After each…
We consider the problem of tracking with small relative error an integer function $f(n)$ defined by a distributed update stream $f'(n)$. Existing streaming algorithms with worst-case guarantees for this problem assume $f(n)$ to be monotone;…

Frequency estimation in data streams is one of the classical problems in streaming algorithms. Following much research, there are now almost matching upper and lower bounds for the trade-off needed between the number of samples and the…
Traditionally in the turnstile model of data streams, there is a state vector $x=(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n)$ which is updated through a stream of pairs $(i,k)$ where $i\in [n]$ and $k\in \Z$. Upon receiving $(i,k)$, $x_i\gets x_i + k$. A distinct…
In the graph stream model of computation, an algorithm processes the edges of an input graph in one or more sequential passes while using a memory sublinear in the input size. This model poses significant challenges for constructing long…
A streaming algorithm is adversarially robust if it is guaranteed to perform correctly even in the presence of an adaptive adversary. Recently, several sophisticated frameworks for robustification of classical streaming algorithms have been…
We study $\ell_p$ sampling and frequency moment estimation in a single-pass insertion-only data stream. For $p \in (0,2)$, we present a nearly space-optimal approximate $\ell_p$ sampler that uses $\widetilde{O}(\log n \log(1/\delta))$ bits…
Privacy is a central challenge for systems that learn from sensitive data sets, especially when a system's outputs must be continuously updated to reflect changing data. We consider the achievable error for differentially private continual…
A central problem in data streams is to characterize which functions of an underlying frequency vector can be approximated efficiently. Recently there has been considerable effort in extending this problem to that of estimating functions of…

Most known algorithms in the streaming model of computation aim to approximate a single function such as an $\ell_p$-norm. In 2009, Nelson [\url{https://sublinear.info}, Open Problem 30] asked if it possible to design \emph{universal…

For any real number $p > 0$, we nearly completely characterize the space complexity of estimating $\|A\|_p^p = \sum_{i=1}^n \sigma_i^p$ for $n \times n$ matrices $A$ in which each row and each column has $O(1)$ non-zero entries and whose…
The turnstile data stream model offers the most flexible framework where data can be manipulated dynamically, i.e., rows, columns, and even single entries of an input matrix can be added, deleted, or updated multiple times in a data stream.…
We revisit the problem of estimating the profile (also known as the rarity) in the data stream model. Given a sequence of $m$ elements from a universe of size $n$, its profile is a vector $\phi$ whose $i$-th entry $\phi_i$ represents the…
