Pseudochaining in hash tables

Posted

This paper presents pseudochaining as a new collision-resolution method. Pseudochaining is half way between open addressing and chaining. It owes its name to the fact that link fields are present in each cell of the hash table which permits “chaining” of the first overflow items in the table. The efficiency of the method is derived and a tradeoff analysis is given.
