We are concerned with estimating alphabet size N from a stream of symbols taken uniformly at random from that alphabet. We define and analyze a memory-restricted variant of an algorithm that have been earlier proposed for this purpose. The alphabet size N can be estimated in O(√(N)) time and space by the memory-restricted variant of this algorithm.
