The Space Complexity of Approximating the Frequency Moments
The frequency moments of a sequence containing mi elements of type i, for 1 i n, are the numbers Fk = n i=1 mk i . We consider the space complexity of randomized algorithms that...

Optimal space lower bounds for all frequency moments
We prove that any one-pass streaming algorithm which ( , )-approximates the kth frequency moment Fk, for any real k = 1 and any = 1 m , must use 1 2 bits of space, where m is th...

Optimal approximations of the frequency moments of data streams
We give a 1-pass ~O(m1-2/k )-space algorithm for computing the k-th frequency moment of a data stream for any real k > 2. Together with the lower bounds of [1, 2, 4], this reso...

On the Value of Multiple Read/Write Streams for Approximating Frequency Moments
We consider the read/write streams model, an extension of the standard data stream model in which an algorithm can create and manipulate multiple read/write streams in addition to...

Estimating Frequency Moments of Data Streams Using Random Linear Combinations
The problem of estimating the kth frequency moment Fk for any nonnegative k, over a data stream by looking at the items exactly once as they arrive, was considered in a seminal pap...
