This is an open access article under the CC BY license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). abstract: Indexing of static and dynamic sets is fundamental to a large set of applications such as information retrieval and caching. Denoting the characteristic vector of the set by B, we consider the problem of encoding sets and multisets to support approximate versions of the operations (i.e., computing ) and (i.e., finding ) queries. We study multiple types of approximations (allowing an error in the query or the result) and present lower bounds and succinct data structures for several variants of the problem. We also extend our model to sliding windows, in which we process a stream of elements and compute suffix sums. This is a generalization of the window summation problem that allows the user to specify the window size at query time. Here, we provide an algorithm that supports updates and queries in constant time while requiring just factor more space than the fixed-window summation algorithms. date: 2021-09-11 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tcs.2021.06.015 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1965494 doi: 10.1016/j.tcs.2021.06.015 lyricists_name: Ben Basat, Shlomi Ran lyricists_id: SRBEN76 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Theoretical Computer Science volume: 885 pagerange: 1-14 citation: Basat, Ran Ben; Jo, Seungbum; Satti, Srinivasa Rao; Ugare, Shubham; (2021) Approximate query processing over static sets and sliding windows☆.
