  2. Flajolet–Martin algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flajolet–Martin_algorithm

    The Flajolet–Martin algorithm is an algorithm for approximating the number of distinct elements in a stream with a single pass and space-consumption logarithmic in the maximal number of possible distinct elements in the stream (the count-distinct problem).

  3. Counting sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sort

    Here input is the input array to be sorted, key returns the numeric key of each item in the input array, count is an auxiliary array used first to store the numbers of items with each key, and then (after the second loop) to store the positions where items with each key should be placed, k is the maximum value of the non-negative key values and ...

  4. Count-distinct problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count-distinct_problem

    In computer science, the count-distinct problem [1] (also known in applied mathematics as the cardinality estimation problem) is the problem of finding the number of distinct elements in a data stream with repeated elements. This is a well-known problem with numerous applications.

  5. Integer sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sorting

    In computer science, integer sorting is the algorithmic problem of sorting a collection of data values by integer keys. Algorithms designed for integer sorting may also often be applied to sorting problems in which the keys are floating point numbers, rational numbers, or text strings. [1]

  6. Universal hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_hashing

    For any fixed set of keys, using a universal family guarantees the following properties.. For any fixed in , the expected number of keys in the bin () is /.When implementing hash tables by chaining, this number is proportional to the expected running time of an operation involving the key (for example a query, insertion or deletion).

  7. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    An associative array stores a set of (key, value) pairs and allows insertion, deletion, and lookup (search), with the constraint of unique keys. In the hash table implementation of associative arrays, an array A {\displaystyle A} of length m {\displaystyle m} is partially filled with n {\displaystyle n} elements, where m ≥ n {\displaystyle m ...

  8. Random binary tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_binary_tree

    For instance, if the three keys 1,3,2 are inserted into a binary search tree in that sequence, the number 1 will sit at the root of the tree, the number 3 will be placed as its right child, and the number 2 as the left child of the number 3.

  9. Fowler–Noll–Vo hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler–Noll–Vo_hash...

    For a given integer s such that 4 < s < 11, let n = 2 s and t = ⌊ (5 + n) / 12 ⌋; then the n-bit FNV prime is the smallest prime number p that is of the form + + such that: 0 < b < 2 8, the number of one-bits in the binary representation of b is either 4 or 5, and; p mod (2 40 − 2 24 − 1) > 2 24 + 2 8 + 7.
