We improve the space bound for streaming approximation of Diameter but also of Farthest Neighbor queries, Minimum Enclosing Ball and its Coreset, in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. In particular, our deterministic streaming algorithms…
We study the classic NP-Hard problem of finding the maximum $k$-set coverage in the data stream model: given a set system of $m$ sets that are subsets of a universe $\{1,\ldots,n \}$, find the $k$ sets that cover the most number of distinct…
The distinct elements problem is one of the fundamental problems in streaming algorithms --- given a stream of integers in the range $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, we wish to provide a $(1+\varepsilon)$ approximation to the number of distinct elements…
We resolve the space complexity of single-pass streaming algorithms for approximating the classic set cover problem. For finding an $\alpha$-approximate set cover (for any $\alpha= o(\sqrt{n})$) using a single-pass streaming algorithm, we…
Given a database, a common problem is to find the pairs or $k$-tuples of items that frequently co-occur. One specific problem is to create a small space "sketch" of the data that records which $k$-tuples appear in more than an $\epsilon$…
An important problem in space-time adaptive detection is the estimation of the large p-by-p interference covariance matrix from training signals. When the number of training signals n is greater than 2p, existing estimators are generally…
We consider a general model for representing and manipulating parametric curves, in which a curve is specified by a black box mapping a parameter value between 0 and 1 to a point in Euclidean d-space. In this model, we consider the…
We prove an optimal $\Omega(n)$ lower bound on the randomized communication complexity of the much-studied Gap-Hamming-Distance problem. As a consequence, we obtain essentially optimal multi-pass space lower bounds in the data stream model…
Given a stream $p_1, \ldots, p_m$ of items from a universe $\mathcal{U}$, which, without loss of generality we identify with the set of integers $\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$, we consider the problem of returning all $\ell_2$-heavy hitters, i.e.,…
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…
A central problem in the theory of algorithms for data streams is to determine which functions on a stream can be approximated in sublinear, and especially sub-polynomial or poly-logarithmic, space. Given a function $g$, we study the space…
Histograms, i.e., piece-wise constant approximations, are a popular tool used to represent data distributions. Traditionally, the difference between the histogram and the underlying distribution (i.e., the approximation error) is measured…
We consider the problem of finding a minimum cut of a weighted graph presented as a single-pass stream. While graph sparsification in streams has been intensively studied, the specific application of finding minimum cuts in streams is less…
Efficiently counting or detecting defective items is a crucial task in various fields ranging from biological testing to quality control to streaming algorithms. The \emph{group testing estimation problem} concerns estimating the number of…
The Frank-Wolfe algorithm achieves a convergence rate of $\mathcal{O}(1/T)$ for smooth convex optimization over compact convex domains, accelerating to $\mathcal{O}(1/T^2)$ when both the objective and the feasible set are strongly convex.…
We consider the Max Unique Coverage problem, including applications to the data stream model. The input is a universe of $n$ elements, a collection of $m$ subsets of this universe, and a cardinality constraint, $k$. The goal is to select a…
We revisit the MaxSAT problem in the data stream model. In this problem, the stream consists of $m$ clauses that are disjunctions of literals drawn from $n$ Boolean variables. The objective is to find an assignment to the variables that…
It is generally hard to count, or even estimate, how many integer points lie in a polytope P. Barvinok and Hartigan have approached the problem by way of information theory, showing how to efficiently compute a random vector which samples…
The seminal work of Ahn, Guha, and McGregor in 2012 introduced the graph sketching technique and used it to present the first streaming algorithms for various graph problems over dynamic streams with both insertions and deletions of edges.…
We study the complexity of optimizing highly smooth convex functions. For a positive integer $p$, we want to find an $\epsilon$-approximate minimum of a convex function $f$, given oracle access to the function and its first $p$ derivatives,…
