BPTree: an ℓ2 Heavy Hitters Algorithm Using Constant Memory
Summary: BPTree: an insertion-only ℓ2 heavy-hitters algorithm using O(ε^-2 log ε^-1) words and O(log ε^-1) update time, i.e., memory independent of n,m and optimal. Also provides O(ε^-2)-space ||f||_2 tracking; analysis via Dudley-style chaining for limited-independence Rademachers. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
