Streaming Space Complexity of Nearly All Functions of One Variable on Frequency Vectors
Summary: Near-complete characterization: Σ_i g(|f_i|) admits sublinear (polylog/subpoly) streaming approximation iff g meets a simple analytic condition, up to a narrow pathological class. Covers convex/concave/monotone, polynomial, trigonometric and—first for nonmonotone—g, resolving AMS'96 for almost all one-variable functions. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
