Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a knapsack constraint in the streaming setting. In particular, the elements arrive sequentially and at any point of time, the algorithm has access only to a small fraction of the data stored in primary memory. For this problem, we propose a (0.4 - ε) -approximation algorithm requiring only a single pass through the data. This improves on the currently best (0.363 - ε) -approximation algorithm. The required memory space depends only on the size of the knapsack capacity and ε.
