This paper presents lower bounds on the time- and space-complexity of implementations that use the k compare-and-swap (k-CAS) synchronization primitives. We prove that the use of ...
We resolve the problem of small-space approximate selection in random-order streams. Specifically, we present an algorithm that reads the n elements of a set in random order and ...
We review a recently introduced computation model for streaming and external memory data. An important feature of this model is that it distinguishes between sequentially reading (...
—The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to...
We study the dynamic membership problem, one of the most fundamental data structure problems, in the cell probe model with an arbitrary cell size. We consider a cell probe model e...
