Abstract. This paper presents moment analyses and characterizations of limit distributions for the construction cost of hash tables under the linear probing strategy. Two models ar...

Mallows and Riordan showed in 1968 that labeled trees with a small number of inversions are related to labeled graphs that are connected and sparse. Wright enumerated sparse connec...
Previously [SODA'04] we devised the fastest known algorithm for 4-universal hashing. The hashing was based on small pre-computed 4-universal tables. This led to a five-fold i...
We show that linear probing requires 5-independent hash functions for expected constant-time performance, matching an upper bound of [Pagh et al. STOC’07]. For (1 + ε)-approxima...
Abstract. In the framework of Carter and Wegman, a k-independent hash function maps any k keys independently. It is known that 5independent hashing provides good expected performan...
