The element distinctness problem is the problem of determining whether the elements of a list are distinct, that is, if $x=(x_1,...,x_N)$ is a list with $N$ elements, we ask whether the elements of $x$ are distinct or not. The solution in a…

The traditional requirement for a randomized streaming algorithm is just {\em one-shot}, i.e., algorithm should be correct (within the stated $\eps$-error bound) at the end of the stream. In this paper, we study the {\em tracking} problem,…

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…
