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.

Searching for a path to identify where to move entries among hash tables with storage for multiple entries per bucket during insert operations

TL;DR: In this article, a path is determined through a search of the hash tables to identify where to move entries during insert operations among the hash table to make room for a data item being added.

History-Independent Cuckoo Hashing

TL;DR: In this paper, a history-independent dictionary based on cuckoo hashing is presented, which is an efficient and practical dynamic dictionary that provides expected amortized constant update time, worst case constant lookup time, and good memory utilization.

Efficient Hashing with Lookups in two Memory Accesses

TL;DR: This work presents a simple, practical hashing scheme that maintains a maximum load of 2, with high probability, while achieving high memory utilization, and analyzes the trade-off between the number of moves performed during inserts and the maximum load on a bucket.

Fast name lookup for Named Data Networking

TL;DR: A new near-perfect hash table data structure is proposed that combines many small sparse perfect hash tables into a larger dense one while keeping the worst-case access time of O(1) and supporting fast update.

The pervasive reach of resource-bounded Kolmogorov complexity in computational complexity theory

TL;DR: This work studies the properties of other measures that arise naturally in this framework and introduces yet more notions of resource-bounded Kolmogorov complexity, to demonstrate that other complexity measures such as branching-program size and formula size can also be discussed in terms of Kolmogsorv complexity.

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.
