A minimal perfect hash function
h
for a set
S
⊆
U
of size
n
is a function
$h\colon U\to \{0,\ldots,n-1\}$
that is one-to-one on
S
. The complexity measures of interest are storage space for
h
, evaluation time (which should be constant), and construction time. The talk gives an overview of several recent randomized constructions of minimal perfect hash functions, leading to space-efficient solutions that are fast in practice. A central issue is a method (“split-and-share”) that makes it possible to assume that fully random (hash) functions are available.
