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.

Optimal Las Vegas reduction from one-way set reconciliation to error correction

TL;DR: In this article, a time and message-size optimal Las Vegas reduction from this problem to the problem of systematic error correction of k errors for strings of length? ( n ) over an alphabet of size 2? ( log?? + log? ( u / n ) ).

Compressed Representations of Conjunctive Query Results

TL;DR: In this article, a space-efficient compressed representation of the output of conjunctive queries is proposed, with the goal of supporting the efficient access of the intermediate compressed result for a given access pattern.

Exploiting Degrees of Freedom for Efficient Hashing in Network Applications

TL;DR: The design makes fast hash table implementations cheaper, more predictable and above all, more practicaL the requirement of on-chip memory up to an order of magnitude at the cost of only minute amounts of additional hardware.

Minimal and Monotone Minimal Perfect Hash Functions

TL;DR: This paper surveys some of the most practical techniques and tools for the construction of MPHFs and MMPHFs, showing that very frequently the keys to be hashed are sorted in their intrinsic order.

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.
