Some notes about matrices

1 Linear algebra and geometry on R, C If m, n are positive integers, we shall denote by L(R,R) the space of reallinear mappings from R to R, and by L(C,C) the space of complexlinear mappings from C to C. In the special case where m = n, we may simply write L(R), L(C), respectively. Also when m = n, we write I for the identity mapping on R or C, as appropriate. Using the standard basis for real ...

Notes on statistical tests ∗

Let an unbiased coin be used to form an ω-sequence S of independent tosses. Let N be the positive integers. The finite initial segment of length n ∈ N is denoted by Sn (thus, S1 holds exactly the first toss). For n ∈ N , let Hn be the proportion of heads that show up in Sn. Pick a positive real number D, to be thought of as a number of standard deviations from the mean of the standard normal di...

Notes about d-cuckoo hashing

We show an upper bound for the minimal size set of keys which cannot be inserted into a d-cuckoo hashing table independently of the hashing functions and the insertion algorithm. We also discuss the probability for a successful insertion into such a hash table.
