We consider the {\it indexable dictionary} problem, which consists of storing a set $S \subseteq \{0,...,m-1\}$ for some integer $m$, while supporting the operations of $\Rank(x)$, which returns the number of elements in $S$ that are less…
Dictionaries have been one of the central questions in data structures. A dictionary data structure maintains a set of key-value pairs under insertions and deletions such that given a query key, the data structure efficiently returns its…
We consider the problem of representing, in a compressed format, a bit-vector $S$ of $m$ bits with $n$ 1s, supporting the following operations, where $b \in \{0, 1 \}$: $rank_b(S,i)$ returns the number of occurrences of bit $b$ in the…
Bloom Filter is a probabilistic membership data structure and it is excessively used data structure for membership query. Bloom Filter becomes the predominant data structure in approximate membership filtering. Bloom Filter extremely…
Bloom Filter is extensively deployed data structure in various applications and research domain since its inception. Bloom Filter is able to reduce the space consumption in an order of magnitude. Thus, Bloom Filter is used to keep…
In a partitioned Bloom Filter the $m$ bit vector is split into $k$ disjoint $m/k$ sized parts, one per hash function. Contrary to hardware designs, where they prevail, software implementations mostly adopt standard Bloom filters,…
Set queries are fundamental operations in computer systems and applications.This paper addresses the fundamental problem of designing a probabilistic data structure that can quickly process set queries using a small amount of memory. We…
In this paper we describe compressed indexes that support pattern matching queries for strings with wildcards. For a constant size alphabet our data structure uses $O(n\log^{\varepsilon}n)$ bits for any $\varepsilon>0$ and reports all…
Given a dynamic set $K$ of $k$ strings of total length $n$ whose characters are drawn from an alphabet of size $\sigma$, a keyword dictionary is a data structure built on $K$ that provides locate, prefix search, and update operations on…
Bloom filters (BF) are widely used for approximate membership queries over a set of elements. BF variants allow removals, sets of unbounded size or querying a sliding window over an unbounded stream. However, for this last case the best…
A minimal perfect hash function bijectively maps a key set $S$ out of a universe $U$ into the first $|S|$ natural numbers. Minimal perfect hash functions are used, for example, to map irregularly-shaped keys, such as string, in a compact…
Bloom filters are probabilistic data structures commonly used for approximate membership problems in many areas of Computer Science (networking, distributed systems, databases, etc.). With the increase in data size and distribution of data,…
An algorithm for structured database searching is presented and used to solve the set partition problem. O(n) oracle calls are required in order to obtain a solution, but the probability that this solution is optimal decreases exponentially…
Counting the frequencies of k-mers in read libraries is often a first step in the analysis of high-throughput sequencing experiments. Infrequent k-mers are assumed to be a result of sequencing errors. The frequent k-mers constitute a…
Given two unsorted lists each of length N that have a single common entry, a quantum computer can find that matching element with a work factor of $O(N^{3/4}\log N)$ (measured in quantum memory accesses and accesses to each list). The…
The choice dictionary is introduced as a data structure that can be initialized with a parameter $n\in\mathbb{N}=\{1,2,\ldots\}$ and subsequently maintains an initially empty subset $S$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ under insertion, deletion,…
We consider the classical problem of sorting an input array containing $n$ elements, where each element is described with a $k$-bit comparison-key and a $w$-bit payload. A long-standing open problem is whether there exist $(k + w) \cdot o(n…
We study the internal dictionary matching (IDM) problem where a dictionary $\mathcal{D}$ containing $d$ substrings of a text $T$ is given, and each query concerns the occurrences of patterns in $\mathcal{D}$ in another substring of $T$. We…
Bloom filters are space-efficient probabilistic data structures that are used to test whether an element is a member of a set, and may return false positives. Recently, variations referred to as learned Bloom filters were developed that can…
An important function in modern routers and switches is to perform a lookup for a key. Hash-based methods, and in particular cuckoo hash tables, are popular for such lookup operations, but for large structures stored in off-chip memory,…
