Mergeable Summaries
Summary: Show heavy-hitter and quantile summaries can be made mergeable: deterministic heavy-hitters size O(1/ε) and randomized fully-mergeable quantiles size O((1/ε)log^{3/2}(1/ε)). Extend to geometric ε-approximations/ε-kernels and show MG=SpaceSaving. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
