Optimal Static Dictionary with Worst-Case Constant Query Time

Yang Hu, Jingxun Liang, Huacheng Yu +2

In this paper, we design a new succinct static dictionary with worst-case constant query time. A dictionary data structure stores a set of key-value pairs with distinct keys in $[U…

Turnstile Streaming Algorithms Might (Still) as Well Be Linear Sketches, for Polynomial-Length Streams

Cheng Jiang, Yinchen Liu, Huacheng Yu

A fundamental question in streaming complexity is whether every space-efficient turnstile algorithm is implicitly a linear sketch. The landmark work of Li, Nguyen, and Woodruff [LN…

Succinct Filters for Sets of Unknown Sizes

Mingmou Liu, Yitong Yin, Huacheng Yu

The membership problem asks to maintain a set , supporting insertions and membership queries, i.e., testing if a given element is in the set. A data structure that c…
