Non-Expansive Hashing

non-expansive hashing scheme, similar inputs are stored in memory locations which are close. We develop a non-expansive hashing scheme wherein any set of size from a large universe may be stored in a memory of size (any , and ), and where retrieval takes operations. We explain how to use non-expansive hashing schemes for efficient storage and retrieval of noisy data. A dynamic version of this hashing scheme is presented as well. Received: February 5, 1996
