Non-minimal k-perfect hashing: Tight lower bounds and an application to fast static hash tables
Ragnar Groot Koerkamp, Stefan Hermann, Peter Sanders +1
A minimal perfect hash function (minimal PHF) is a data structure mapping a static set of keys to bins without collisions. Two natural generalizations are minimal -PHFs…
Modern Minimal Perfect Hashing: A Survey
Hans-Peter Lehmann, Thomas Mueller, Rasmus Pagh +4
Given a set of keys, a perfect hash function for maps the keys in to the first integers without collisions. It may return an arbitrary result for any key…
PHast -- Perfect Hashing made fast
Piotr Beling, Peter Sanders
Perfect hash functions give unique "names" to arbitrary keys requiring only a few bits per key. This is an essential building block in applications like static hash tables, databas…
Engineering Minimal k-Perfect Hash Functions
Stefan Hermann, Sebastian Kirmayer, Hans-Peter Lehmann +2
Given a set S of n keys, a k-perfect hash function (kPHF) is a data structure that maps the keys to the first m integers, where each output integer can be hit by at most k input ke…
Combined Search and Encoding for Seeds, with an Application to Minimal Perfect Hashing
Hans-Peter Lehmann, Peter Sanders, Stefan Walzer +1
Randomised algorithms often employ methods that can fail and that are retried with independent randomness until they succeed. Randomised data structures therefore often store indic…
