For each $p \in (0,2]$, we present a randomized algorithm that returns an $\epsilon$-approximation of the $p$th frequency moment of a data stream $F_p = \sum_{i = 1}^n \abs{f_i}^p$. The algorithm requires space $O(\epsilon^{-2} \log…

A data stream is viewed as a sequence of $M$ updates of the form $(\text{index},i,v)$ to an $n$-dimensional integer frequency vector $f$, where the update changes $f_i$ to $f_i + v$, and $v$ is an integer and assumed to be in $\{-m, ...,…

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…

In this paper, we study streaming algorithms that minimize the number of changes made to their internal state (i.e., memory contents). While the design of streaming algorithms typically focuses on minimizing space and update time, these…

In this paper we consider the problem of approximating frequency moments in the streaming model. Given a stream $D = \{p_1,p_2,\dots,p_m\}$ of numbers from $\{1,\dots, n\}$, a frequency of $i$ is defined as $f_i = |\{j: p_j = i\}|$. The…

We study the general problem of computing frequency-based functions, i.e., the sum of any given function of data stream frequencies. Special cases include fundamental data stream problems such as computing the number of distinct elements…

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,…

We revisit one of the classic problems in the data stream literature, namely, that of estimating the frequency moments $F_p$ for $0 < p < 2$ of an underlying $n$-dimensional vector presented as a sequence of additive updates in a stream. It…

The problem of estimating the pth moment F_p (p nonnegative and real) in data streams is as follows. There is a vector x which starts at 0, and many updates of the form x_i <-- x_i + v come sequentially in a stream. The algorithm also…

The efficient estimation of frequency moments of a data stream in one-pass using limited space and time per item is one of the most fundamental problem in data stream processing. An especially important estimation is to find the number of…

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…

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…

Given data stream $D = \{p_1,p_2,...,p_m\}$ of size $m$ of numbers from $\{1,..., n\}$, the frequency of $i$ is defined as $f_i = |\{j: p_j = i\}|$. The $k$-th \emph{frequency moment} of $D$ is defined as $F_k = \sum_{i=1}^n f_i^k$. We…

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…

We present an algorithm for computing $F_p$, the $p$th moment of an $n$-dimensional frequency vector of a data stream, for $2 < p < \log (n) $, to within $1\pm \epsilon$ factors, $\epsilon \in [n^{-1/p},1]$ with high constant probability.…

Estimating the first moment of a data stream defined as $F_1 = \sum_{i \in \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}} \abs{f_i}$ to within $1 \pm \epsilon$-relative error with high probability is a basic and influential problem in data stream processing. A tight…

We show an improved lower bound for the Fp estimation problem in a data stream setting for p>2. A data stream is a sequence of items from the domain [n] with possible repetitions. The frequency vector x is an n-dimensional non-negative…

We study the classical problem of moment estimation of an underlying vector whose $n$ coordinates are implicitly defined through a series of updates in a data stream. We show that if the updates to the vector arrive in the random-order…

We consider streaming algorithms for approximating a product of input probabilities up to multiplicative error of $1-\epsilon$. It is shown that every randomized streaming algorithm for this problem needs space $\Omega(\log n + \log b -…

Problems involving the efficient arrangement of simple objects, as captured by bin packing and makespan scheduling, are fundamental tasks in combinatorial optimization. These are well understood in the traditional online and offline cases,…
