Set cover, over a universe of size $n$, may be modelled as a data-streaming problem, where the $m$ sets that comprise the instance are to be read one by one. A semi-streaming algorithm is allowed only $O(n\, \mathrm{poly}\{\log n, \log…

The missing item problem, as introduced by Stoeckl in his work at SODA 23, focuses on continually identifying a missing element $e$ in a stream of elements ${e_1, ..., e_{\ell}}$ from the set $\{1,2,...,n\}$, such that $e \neq e_i$ for any…
