a weakness of hashing Problem: For any hash function h, a set of keys exists that can cause the average access time of a hash table to skyrocket An adversary can pick all keys from tkeU: h(k)=i for some slot i IDEA Choose the hash function at random independently of the keys
flow networks Definition. A flow network is a directed graph G=(, E)with two distinguished vertices:a source s and a sink t. Each edge(u, v)E E has a nonnegative capacity c(u, v). If(u, v) E, then c(u, v)=0 Example: c 2001 by Charles E Leiserson
