A Bloom filter is a widely used data-structure for representing a set $S$ and answering queries of the form "Is $x$ in $S$?". By allowing some false positive answers (saying "yes" when the answer is in fact `no') Bloom filters use space…

We suggest a method for holding a dictionary data structure, which maps keys to values, in the spirit of Bloom Filters. The space requirements of the dictionary we suggest are much smaller than those of a hashtable. We allow storing n keys,…

Many applications of approximate membership query data structures, or filters, require only an incremental filter that supports insertions but not deletions. However, the design space of incremental filters is missing a "sweet spot" filter…

A filter is a widely used data structure for storing an approximation of a given set $S$ of elements from some universe $U$ (a countable set).It represents a superset $S'\supseteq S$ that is ''close to $S$'' in the sense that for $x\not\in…
