Abstract

Hashing is a widely used technique for performing dictionary operations. Even though it is selected from the problem of collision, alternative hashing technique, open addressing has been developed. One such open addressing scheme, double hashing uses two hash functions to perform the search. The paper discusses the implication of choosing the hash function and table size, m, to be relatively prime and why it is necessary for searching the hash table in its entirety.
