Approximate Counts and Quantiles over Sliding Windows

Summary: Deterministic and randomized algorithms for ε-approximate frequency counts and quantiles over both fixed-size and adversarial variable-size sliding windows, using O((1/ε) polylog(1/ε,N)) space. Improves prior quantile bounds from O(1/ε^2) and gives the first space-efficient bounds for sliding-window frequency counts. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
