Abstract
In this paper we show several results obtained by combining the use of stable distributions with pseudorandom generators for bounded space. In particular: ffl we show how to maintain (using only O(log n=ffl 2 ) words of storage) a sketch C(p) of a point p 2 l n 1 under dynamic updates of its coordinates, such that given sketches C(p) and C(q) one can estimate jp \Gamma qj 1 up to a factor of (1 + ffl) with large probability. This solves the main open problem of [10]. ffl we obtain another sketch function C 0 which maps l n 1 into a normed space l m 1 (as opposed to C), such that m = m(n) is much smaller than n; to our knowledge this is the first dimensionality reduction lemma for l 1 norm ffl we give an explicit embedding of l n 2 into l n O(log n) 1 with distortion (1 + 1=n \Theta(1) ) and a nonconstructive embedding of l n 2 into l O(n) 1 with distortion (1 + ffl) such that the embedding can be represented using only O(n log 2 n) bits (as opposed to at least...
