Asymptotic distribution for the cost of linear probing hashing
نویسنده
چکیده
We study moments and asymptotic distributions of the construction cost, measured as the total displacement, for hash tables using linear probing. Four different methods are employed for different ranges of the parameters; together they yield a complete description. This extends earlier results by Flajolet, Poblete and Viola. The average cost of unsuccessful searches is considered too.

Distributional analysis of Robin Hood linear probing hashing with buckets
This paper presents the first distributional analysis of a linear probing hashing scheme with buckets of size b. The exact distribution of the cost of successful searches for a bα-full table is obtained, and moments and asymptotic results are derived. With the use of the Poisson transform distributional results are also obtained for tables of size m and n elements. A key element in the analysis...
متن کاملAn Improved Version of Cuckoo Hashing: Average Case Analysis of Construction Cost and Search Operations
Cuckoo hashing is a hash table data structure introduced in [1], that offers constant worst case search time. As a major contribution of this paper, we analyse modified versions of this algorithm with improved performance. Further, we provide an asymptotic analysis of the search costs of all this variants of cuckoo hashing and compare this results with the well known properties of double hashin...
متن کاملA unified approach to linear probing hashing
We give a unified analysis of linear probing hashing with a general bucket size. We use both a combinatorial approach, giving exact formulas for generating functions, and a probabilistic approach, giving simple derivations of asymptotic results. Both approaches complement nicely, and give a good insight in the relation between linear probing and random walks. A key methodological contribution, ...
متن کاملThe Maximum Displacement for Linear Probing Hashing
In this paper we study the maximum displacement for linear probing hashing. We use the standard probabilistic model together with the insertion policy known as First-Come(-First-Served). The results are of asymptotic nature and focus on dense hash tables. That is, the number of occupied cells n, and the size of the hash table m, tend to infinity with ratio n/m → 1. We present distributions and ...
متن کاملLinear Probing with 5-wise Independence
Hashing with linear probing dates back to the 1950s, and is among the most studied algorithms for storing (key,value) pairs. In recent years it has become one of the most important hash table organizations since it uses the cache of modern computers very well. Unfortunately, previous analyses rely either on complicated and space consuming hash functions, or on the unrealistic assumption of free...
