A simple perfect hashing method for static sets

M. Ramakrishna

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Perfect hashing refers to hashing without collisions. There are a number of methods proposed in the literature for determining perfect hashing functions for a given key set. Direct perfect hashing methods are those which do not involve auxiliary table lookup. This paper proposes a direct perfect hashing method using random functions. This method is shown to be as good as any other in performance, and simple to use.>
