  2. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    Repeated insertions cause the number of entries in a hash table to grow, which consequently increases the load factor; to maintain the amortized () performance of the lookup and insertion operations, a hash table is dynamically resized and the items of the tables are rehashed into the buckets of the new hash table, [9] since the items cannot be ...

  3. Linear probing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_probing

    Linear probing is a component of open addressing schemes for using a hash table to solve the dictionary problem.In the dictionary problem, a data structure should maintain a collection of key–value pairs subject to operations that insert or delete pairs from the collection or that search for the value associated with a given key.

  4. Linear hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_hashing

    When the load factor surpasses a set threshold, the split pointer's designated bucket is split. Instead of using the load factor, this threshold can also be expressed as an occupancy percentage, in which case, the maximum number of records in the hash index equals (occupancy percentage)*(max records per non-overflowed bucket)*(number of buckets).

  5. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    Standard multiplicative hashing uses the formula h a (K) = ⌊ (aK mod W) / (W/M) ⌋, which produces a hash value in {0, …, M − 1}. The value a is an appropriately chosen value that should be relatively prime to W; it should be large, [clarification needed] and its binary representation a random mix [clarification needed] of 1s and 0s.

  6. Double hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_hashing

    Let have fixed load factor : > >. Bradford and Katehakis [ 2 ] showed the expected number of probes for an unsuccessful search in T {\displaystyle T} , still using these initially chosen hash functions, is 1 1 − α {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{1-\alpha }}} regardless of the distribution of the inputs.

  7. Quadratic probing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_probing

    Quadratic probing is an open addressing scheme in computer programming for resolving hash collisions in hash tables.Quadratic probing operates by taking the original hash index and adding successive values of an arbitrary quadratic polynomial until an open slot is found.

  8. Open addressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_addressing

    Hash collision resolved by linear probing (interval=1). Open addressing, or closed hashing, is a method of collision resolution in hash tables.With this method a hash collision is resolved by probing, or searching through alternative locations in the array (the probe sequence) until either the target record is found, or an unused array slot is found, which indicates that there is no such key ...

  9. Tabulation hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabulation_hashing

    For instance, in hash chaining, the expected time per operation is proportional to the sum of collision probabilities, which is the same for any universal scheme as it would be for truly random hash functions, and is constant whenever the load factor of the hash table is constant. Therefore, tabulation hashing can be used to compute hash ...
