TLDR
A data structure for representing a set of n items from a universe of m items, which uses space n+o(n) and accommodates membership queries in constant time and is easy to implement.
Abstract
A data structure for representing a set of n items from a umverse of m items, which uses space n + o(n) and accommodates membership queries m constant time is described. Both the data structure and the query algorithm are easy to ~mplement.

Efficient Approximate Distance Oracles for Vertex-Labeled Planar Graphs.

TL;DR: This paper presents three different dynamic approximate vertex-labeled distance oracles for planar graphs, all with polylogarithmic query and update times, and nearly linear space requirements.

Extensible perfect hashing

TL;DR: This dissertation aims to provide a history of web exceptionalism from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year in which descriptions of “Web 2.0” began to circulate.

Geometric algorithms for object placement and planarity in a terrain

Rahul Ray
TL;DR: It is shown for a given epsilon > 0 how random-sampling and bucketing techniques can be used to develop a near-linear-time Monte Carlo algorithm that computes a placement of C containing at least (1 -epsilon)k* points of S with high probability.

Pattern Matching and Consensus Problems on Weighted Sequences and Profiles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a general variant of the knapsack problem in which both the pattern and the text are uncertain, and proposed algorithms for the consensus problem parameterized by the number of strings that match one of the sequences.

String Sanitization Under Edit Distance: Improved and Generalized

TL;DR: The main results can be summarized as follows: an $\mathcal{O}(n^2\log^2k)$-time algorithm to solve ETFS, a generalization of ETFS in which the elements of $\Mathcal{S}$ can have arbitrary lengths, and an AETFS, ageneralization of Exxon Mobil's EMMD, which is a generalizations of ExxonMobil's EMT, which can be solved in less time.

Should Tables Be Sorted

TL;DR: It is shown that, in a rather general model including al1 the commonly-used schemes, $\lceil $ lg(n+l) $\rceil$ probes to the table are needed in the worst case, provided the key space is sufficiently large.

Storing a sparse table

TL;DR: This work proposes a good worst-case method for storing a static table of n entries, each an integer between 0 and N - 1, and analysis shows why a simpler algorithm used for compressing LR parsing tables works so well.

Perfect hashing functions: a single probe retrieving method for static sets

TL;DR: A refinement of hashing which allows retrieval of an item in a static table with a single probe is considered, and a rough comparison with ordinary hashing is given which shows that this method can be used conveniently in several practical applications.

Reciprocal hashing: a method for generating minimal perfect hashing functions

TL;DR: A method is presented for building minimal perfect hash functions, i.e., functions which allow single probe retrieval from minimally sized tables of identifier sets, and a proof of existence for minimalperfect hash functions of a special type (reciprocal type) is given.
