Towards Tight Bounds for the Streaming Set Cover Problem

We consider the classic Set Cover problem in the data stream model. For n elements and m sets (m ≥ n) we give a O(1/δ)-pass algorithm with a strongly sub-linear ~O(mn[superscript δ]) space and logarithmic approximation factor. This yields a significant improvement over the earlier algorithm of Demai...
