We optimally resolve the space complexity for the problem of finding an $\alpha$-approximate minimum vertex cover ($\alpha$MVC) in dynamic graph streams. We give a randomised algorithm for $\alpha$MVC which uses $O(n^2/\alpha^2)$ bits of…

We investigate the sample-memory-pass trade-offs for pure exploration in multi-pass streaming multi-armed bandits (MABs) with the *a priori* knowledge of the optimality gap $\Delta_{[2]}$. Here, and throughout, the optimality gap…
