摘要: We present a simple, one-pass, O(√n)-space data stream algorithm for approximating the third frequency moment. This is first improvement to O(n2/3)-space of Alon, Matias, and Szegedy [AMS99]. current known lower bound this problem Ω(n1/3) [BJKS02a].Our can also be generalized an O(n1-1/(k-1))-space k-th Besides improving O(n1--1/k)-space upper [AMS99], our beats Ω(n1--1/k)-sampling [BKS01] problem.Our method suggests unified perspective space-efficient algorithms all moments.
