A hash table is said to be open-addressed (or non-obliviously open-addressed) if it stores elements (and free slots) in an array with no additional metadata. Intuitively, open-addressed hash tables must incur a space-time tradeoff: The…

Shannon's entropy is a clear lower bound for statistical compression. The situation is not so well understood for dictionary-based compression. A plausible lower bound is $b$, the least number of phrases of a general bidirectional parse of…

For every fixed $d \in \mathbb{N}$, we design a data structure that represents a binary $n \times n$ matrix that is $d$-twin-ordered. The data structure occupies $O_d(n)$ bits, which is the least one could hope for, and can be queried for…
