Individual displacements in hashing with coalesced chains

Probability 2007-05-23 v1 Data Structures and Algorithms

Abstract

We study the asymptotic distribution of the displacements in hashing with coalesced chains, for both late-insertion and early-insertion. Asymptotic formulas for means and variances follow. The method uses Poissonization and some stochastic calculus.
