An anatree is a data structure designed to solve anagrams . Solving an anagram is the problem of finding a word from a given list of letters. These problems are commonly encountered in word games like Scrabble or in newspaper crossword puzzles. The problem for the wordwheel also has the condition that the central letter appear in all the words framed with the given set. Some other conditions may be introduced regarding the frequency (number of appearances) of each of the letters in the given input string. These problems are classified as Constraint satisfaction problem in computer science literature.
79-403: An anatree is represented as a directed tree which contains a set of words (W) encoded as strings in some alphabet . The internal vertices are labelled with some letter in the alphabet and the leaves contain words. The edges are labelled with non-negative integers. An anatree has the property that the sum of the edge labels from the root to the leaf is the length of the word stored at the leaf. If

237-445: A connected acyclic undirected graph. A forest is an undirected graph in which any two vertices are connected by at most one path, or equivalently an acyclic undirected graph, or equivalently a disjoint union of trees. A directed tree, oriented tree, polytree , or singly connected network is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) whose underlying undirected graph is a tree. A polyforest (or directed forest or oriented forest)
316-447: A dynamic array found to be more cache-friendly is used in the place where a linked list or self-balancing binary search trees is usually deployed, since the contiguous allocation pattern of the array could be exploited by hardware-cache prefetchers —such as translation lookaside buffer —resulting in reduced access time and memory consumption. Open addressing is another collision resolution technique in which every entry record
395-458: A hash table of all the possible words that can be in the language (this is referred to as the lexicon ). For a given input string, sort the letters in alphabetic order. This sorted string maps onto a word in the hash table. Hence finding the anagram requires sorting the letters and looking up the word in the hash table. The sorting can be done in linear time with counting sort and hash table look ups can be done in constant time. For example, given
474-659: A set of (key, value) pairs and allows insertion, deletion, and lookup (search), with the constraint of unique keys . In the hash table implementation of associative arrays, an array A {\displaystyle A} of length m {\displaystyle m} is partially filled with n {\displaystyle n} elements, where m ≥ n {\displaystyle m\geq n} . A value x {\displaystyle x} gets stored at an index location A [ h ( x ) ] {\displaystyle A[h(x)]} , where h {\displaystyle h}
553-401: A forest by subtracting the difference between total vertices and total edges. V − E = number of trees in a forest. A polytree (or directed tree or oriented tree or singly connected network ) is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) whose underlying undirected graph is a tree. In other words, if we replace its directed edges with undirected edges, we obtain an undirected graph that
632-414: A forest consisting of zero trees. An internal vertex (or inner vertex) is a vertex of degree at least 2. Similarly, an external vertex (or outer vertex, terminal vertex or leaf) is a vertex of degree 1. A branch vertex in a tree is a vertex of degree at least 3. An irreducible tree (or series-reduced tree) is a tree in which there is no vertex of degree 2 (enumerated at sequence A000014 in
711-435: A hash function works, one can then focus on finding the fastest possible such hash function. A search algorithm that uses hashing consists of two parts. The first part is computing a hash function which transforms the search key into an array index . The ideal case is such that no two search keys hashes to the same array index. However, this is not always the case and is impossible to guarantee for unseen given data. Hence
790-417: A leaf from that vertex. The height of the tree is the height of the root. The depth of a vertex is the length of the path to its root ( root path ). The depth of a tree is the maximum depth of any vertex. Depth is commonly needed in the manipulation of the various self-balancing trees, AVL trees in particular. The root has depth zero, leaves have height zero, and a tree with only a single vertex (hence both
869-419: A parent of v . A descendant of a vertex v is any vertex that is either a child of v or is (recursively) a descendant of a child of v . A sibling to a vertex v is any other vertex on the tree that shares a parent with v . A leaf is a vertex with no children. An internal vertex is a vertex that is not a leaf. The height of a vertex in a rooted tree is the length of the longest downward path to

Each bucket within the hash table includes an additional "hop-information"—an H -bit bit array for indicating the relative distance of
1027-439: A root and leaf) has depth and height zero. Conventionally, an empty tree (a tree with no vertices, if such are allowed) has depth and height −1. A k -ary tree (for nonnegative integers k ) is a rooted tree in which each vertex has at most k children. 2-ary trees are often called binary trees , while 3-ary trees are sometimes called ternary trees . An ordered tree (alternatively, plane tree or positional tree )
1106-420: A root, a tree without any designated root is called a free tree . A labeled tree is a tree in which each vertex is given a unique label. The vertices of a labeled tree on n vertices (for nonnegative integers n ) are typically given the labels 1, 2, …, n . A recursive tree is a labeled rooted tree where the vertex labels respect the tree order (i.e., if u < v for two vertices u and v , then
1185-408: A solution is to perform the resizing gradually to avoid storage blip—typically at 50% of new table's size—during rehashing and to avoid memory fragmentation that triggers heap compaction due to deallocation of large memory blocks caused by the old hash table. In such case, the rehashing operation is done incrementally through extending prior memory block allocated for the old hash table such that
1264-399: Is a common method of implementation of hash tables. Let T {\displaystyle T} and x {\displaystyle x} be the hash table and the node respectively, the operation involves as follows: If the element is comparable either numerically or lexically , and inserted into the list by maintaining the total order , it results in faster termination of
1343-409: Is a directed acyclic graph whose underlying undirected graph is a forest. The various kinds of data structures referred to as trees in computer science have underlying graphs that are trees in graph theory, although such data structures are generally rooted trees. A rooted tree may be directed, called a directed rooted tree, either making all its edges point away from the root—in which case it
1422-451: Is a harder problem. No closed formula for the number t ( n ) of trees with n vertices up to graph isomorphism is known. The first few values of t ( n ) are Otter (1948) proved the asymptotic estimate with C ≈ 0.534949606... and α ≈ 2.95576528565... (sequence A051491 in the OEIS ). Here, the ~ symbol means that This is a consequence of his asymptotic estimate for

Under reasonable assumptions, hash tables have better time complexity bounds on search, delete, and insert operations in comparison to self-balancing binary search trees . Hash tables are also commonly used to implement sets, by omitting the stored value for each key and merely tracking whether

1659-434: Is a rooted tree in which an ordering is specified for the children of each vertex. This is called a "plane tree" because an ordering of the children is equivalent to an embedding of the tree in the plane, with the root at the top and the children of each vertex lower than that vertex. Given an embedding of a rooted tree in the plane, if one fixes a direction of children, say left to right, then an embedding gives an ordering of

#17327938943441738-431: Is acyclic. As with directed trees, some authors restrict the phrase "directed forest" to the case where the edges of each connected component are all directed towards a particular vertex, or all directed away from a particular vertex (see branching ). A rooted tree is a tree in which one vertex has been designated the root. The edges of a rooted tree can be assigned a natural orientation, either away from or towards
1817-478: Is an abstract data type that maps keys to values . A hash table uses a hash function to compute an index , also called a hash code , into an array of buckets or slots , from which the desired value can be found. During lookup, the key is hashed and the resulting hash indicates where the corresponding value is stored. A map implemented by a hash table is called a hash map . Most hash table designs employ an imperfect hash function . Hash collisions , where
1896-842: Is an example of a space-time tradeoff . If memory is infinite, the entire key can be used directly as an index to locate its value with a single memory access. On the other hand, if infinite time is available, values can be stored without regard for their keys, and a binary search or linear search can be used to retrieve the element. In many situations, hash tables turn out to be on average more efficient than search trees or any other table lookup structure. For this reason, they are widely used in many kinds of computer software , particularly for associative arrays , database indexing , caches , and sets . The idea of hashing arose independently in different places. In January 1953, Hans Peter Luhn wrote an internal IBM memorandum that used hashing with chaining. The first example of open addressing
1975-464: Is an open addressing based collision resolution algorithm; the collisions are resolved through favouring the displacement of the element that is farthest—or longest probe sequence length (PSL)—from its "home location" i.e. the bucket to which the item was hashed into. Although Robin Hood hashing does not change the theoretical search cost , it significantly affects the variance of the distribution of
2054-467: Is both connected and acyclic. Some authors restrict the phrase "directed tree" to the case where the edges are all directed towards a particular vertex, or all directed away from a particular vertex (see arborescence ). A polyforest (or directed forest or oriented forest) is a directed acyclic graph whose underlying undirected graph is a forest. In other words, if we replace its directed edges with undirected edges, we obtain an undirected graph that
2133-460: Is called a branching or out-forest—or making all its edges point towards the root in each rooted tree—in which case it is called an anti-branching or in-forest. The term tree was coined in 1857 by the British mathematician Arthur Cayley . A tree is an undirected graph G that satisfies any of the following equivalent conditions: If G has finitely many vertices, say n of them, then
2212-440: Is called an arborescence or out-tree —or making all its edges point towards the root—in which case it is called an anti-arborescence or in-tree. A rooted tree itself has been defined by some authors as a directed graph. A rooted forest is a disjoint union of rooted trees. A rooted forest may be directed, called a directed rooted forest, either making all its edges point away from the root in each rooted tree—in which case it
2291-464: Is empty, the element is inserted, and the leftmost bit of bitmap is set to 1; if not empty, linear probing is used for finding an empty slot in the table, the bitmap of the bucket gets updated followed by the insertion; if the empty slot is not within the range of the neighbourhood, i.e. H -1, subsequent swap and hop-info bit array manipulation of each bucket is performed in accordance with its neighbourhood invariant properties . Robin Hood hashing
2370-466: Is found, which indicates an unsuccessful search. Well-known probe sequences include: The performance of open addressing may be slower compared to separate chaining since the probe sequence increases when the load factor α {\displaystyle \alpha } approaches 1. The probing results in an infinite loop if the load factor reaches 1, in the case of a completely filled table. The average cost of linear probing depends on
2449-482: Is resolved through maintaining two hash tables, each having its own hashing function, and collided slot gets replaced with the given item, and the preoccupied element of the slot gets displaced into the other hash table. The process continues until every key has its own spot in the empty buckets of the tables; if the procedure enters into infinite loop —which is identified through maintaining a threshold loop counter—both hash tables get rehashed with newer hash functions and

2607-406: Is stored in the bucket array itself, and the hash resolution is performed through probing . When a new entry has to be inserted, the buckets are examined, starting with the hashed-to slot and proceeding in some probe sequence , until an unoccupied slot is found. When searching for an entry, the buckets are scanned in the same sequence, until either the target record is found, or an unused array slot
2686-411: Is the multinomial coefficient A more general problem is to count spanning trees in an undirected graph , which is addressed by the matrix tree theorem . (Cayley's formula is the special case of spanning trees in a complete graph .) The similar problem of counting all the subtrees regardless of size is #P-complete in the general case ( Jerrum (1994) ). Counting the number of unlabeled free trees

As special cases, the order-zero graph (a forest consisting of zero trees), a single tree, and an edgeless graph, are examples of forests. Since for every tree V − E = 1 , we can easily count the number of trees that are within

3002-474: The above statements are also equivalent to any of the following conditions: As elsewhere in graph theory, the order-zero graph (graph with no vertices) is generally not considered to be a tree: while it is vacuously connected as a graph (any two vertices can be connected by a path), it is not 0-connected (or even (−1)-connected) in algebraic topology, unlike non-empty trees, and violates the "one more vertex than edges" relation. It may, however, be considered as
3081-448: The anatree is greatly impacted by the choice of labels. The following are some heuristics for choosing labels: To find a word in an anatree, start at the root, depending on the frequency of the label in the given input string, follow the edge that has that frequency till the leaf. The leaf contains the required word. For example, consider the anatree in the figure, to find the word d o g {\displaystyle dog} ,
3160-443: The application. In particular, if one uses dynamic resizing with exact doubling and halving of the table size, then the hash function needs to be uniform only when the size is a power of two . Here the index can be computed as some range of bits of the hash function. On the other hand, some hashing algorithms prefer to have the size be a prime number . For open addressing schemes, the hash function should also avoid clustering ,
3239-754: The bucket array holds exactly one item. Therefore an open-addressed hash table cannot have a load factor greater than 1. The performance of open addressing becomes very bad when the load factor approaches 1. Therefore a hash table that uses open addressing must be resized or rehashed if the load factor α {\displaystyle \alpha } approaches 1. With open addressing, acceptable figures of max load factor α max {\displaystyle \alpha _{\max }} should range around 0.6 to 0.75. A hash function h : U → { 0 , . . . , m − 1 } {\displaystyle h:U\rightarrow \{0,...,m-1\}} maps

3318-441: The bucket array stores a pointer to a list or array of data. Separate chaining hash tables suffer gradually declining performance as the load factor grows, and no fixed point beyond which resizing is absolutely needed. With separate chaining, the value of α max {\displaystyle \alpha _{\max }} that gives best performance is typically between 1 and 3. With open addressing, each slot of
3397-454: The buckets of the hash table remain unaltered. A common approach for amortized rehashing involves maintaining two hash functions h old {\displaystyle h_{\text{old}}} and h new {\displaystyle h_{\text{new}}} . The process of rehashing a bucket's items in accordance with the new hash function is termed as cleaning , which is implemented through command pattern by encapsulating
3476-621: The buckets or nodes link within the table. The algorithm is ideally suited for fixed memory allocation . The collision in coalesced hashing is resolved by identifying the largest-indexed empty slot on the hash table, then the colliding value is inserted into that slot. The bucket is also linked to the inserted node's slot which contains its colliding hash address. Cuckoo hashing is a form of open addressing collision resolution technique which guarantees O ( 1 ) {\displaystyle O(1)} worst-case lookup complexity and constant amortized time for insertions. The collision
3555-486: The children. Conversely, given an ordered tree, and conventionally drawing the root at the top, then the child vertices in an ordered tree can be drawn left-to-right, yielding an essentially unique planar embedding. Cayley's formula states that there are n trees on n labeled vertices. A classic proof uses Prüfer sequences , which naturally show a stronger result: the number of trees with vertices 1, 2, …, n of degrees d 1 , d 2 , …, d n respectively,

The worst case execution time of an anatree is O ( | w | ( l + w | O | 2 ) ) {\displaystyle O(|w|(l+w|O|^{2}))} Tree (graph theory) In graph theory , a tree is an undirected graph in which any two vertices are connected by exactly one path , or equivalently

The worst case execution time is found to be linear in size of the lexicon. For example, given the word ANATREE, the alphabetic map would produce a mapping of f ( A ) − > 2 , f ( E ) − > 2 , f ( N ) − > 1 , f ( R ) − > 1 , f ( T ) − > 1 {\displaystyle f(A)->2,f(E)->2,f(N)->1,f(R)->1,f(T)->1} .

We follow this label since the given input string has 1 {\displaystyle 1} d {\displaystyle d} . Traverse this edge until the leaf is encountered. That gives the required word. A lexicon that stores w {\displaystyle w} words (each word can be l {\displaystyle l} characters long) in an alphabet O {\displaystyle O} has
3871-418: The hash function generates the same index for more than one key, therefore typically must be accommodated in some way. In a well-dimensioned hash table, the average time complexity for each lookup is independent of the number of elements stored in the table. Many hash table designs also allow arbitrary insertions and deletions of key–value pairs , at amortized constant average cost per operation. Hashing
3950-460: The hash function's ability to distribute the elements uniformly throughout the table to avoid clustering , since formation of clusters would result in increased search time. Since the slots are located in successive locations, linear probing could lead to better utilization of CPU cache due to locality of references resulting in reduced memory latency .

Uniformity is sometimes difficult to ensure by design, but may be evaluated empirically using statistical tests, e.g., a Pearson's chi-squared test for discrete uniform distributions. The distribution needs to be uniform only for table sizes that occur in

4661-548: The keys are known ahead of time. The schemes of hashing used in integer universe assumption include hashing by division, hashing by multiplication, universal hashing , dynamic perfect hashing , and static perfect hashing . However, hashing by division is the commonly used scheme. The scheme in hashing by division is as follows: h ( x ) = x mod m {\displaystyle h(x)\ =\ x\,{\bmod {\,}}m} where h ( x ) {\displaystyle h(x)}

In a rooted tree, the parent of a vertex v is the vertex connected to v on the path to the root; every vertex has a unique parent, except the root has no parent.

The first published work on hashing with chaining is credited to Arnold Dumey , who discussed the idea of using remainder modulo a prime as a hash function. The word "hashing" was first published in an article by Robert Morris. A theoretical analysis of linear probing was submitted originally by Konheim and Weiss. An associative array stores
5451-615: The procedure continues. Hopscotch hashing is an open addressing based algorithm which combines the elements of cuckoo hashing , linear probing and chaining through the notion of a neighbourhood of buckets—the subsequent buckets around any given occupied bucket, also called a "virtual" bucket. The algorithm is designed to deliver better performance when the load factor of the hash table grows beyond 90%; it also provides high throughput in concurrent settings , thus well suited for implementing resizable concurrent hash table . The neighbourhood characteristic of hopscotch hashing guarantees

A rooted tree T that is a subgraph of some graph G is a normal tree if the ends of every T -path in G are comparable in this tree-order ( Diestel 2005 , p. 15).

When a directed rooted tree has an orientation away from the root, it is called an arborescence or out-tree ; when it has an orientation towards the root, it is called an anti-arborescence or in-tree . The tree-order is the partial ordering on the vertices of a tree with u < v if and only if the unique path from
5688-466: The second part of the algorithm is collision resolution. The two common methods for collision resolution are separate chaining and open addressing. In separate chaining, the process involves building a linked list with key–value pair for each search array index. The collided items are chained together through a single linked list, which can be traversed to access the item with a unique search key. Collision resolution through chaining with linked list
5767-550: The standard linked list method under heavy load. Techniques such as using fusion tree for each buckets also result in constant time for all operations with high probability. The linked list of separate chaining implementation may not be cache-conscious due to spatial locality — locality of reference —when the nodes of the linked list are scattered across memory, thus the list traversal during insert and search may entail CPU cache inefficiencies. In cache-conscious variants of collision resolution through separate chaining,

If the keys are ordered , it could be efficient to use " self-organizing " concepts such as using a self-balancing binary search tree , through which the theoretical worst case could be brought down to O ( log n ) {\displaystyle O(\log {n})} , although it introduces additional complexities.

A mixed anatree can have words of varying lengths, where as in a regular anatree, all words are of the same length. A number of data structures have been proposed to solve anagrams in constant time. Two of the most commonly used data structures are the alphabetic map and the frequency map. The alphabetic map maintains
6241-491: Was proposed by A. D. Linh, building on Luhn's memorandum. Around the same time, Gene Amdahl , Elaine M. McGraw , Nathaniel Rochester , and Arthur Samuel of IBM Research implemented hashing for the IBM 701 assembler . Open addressing with linear probing is credited to Amdahl, although Andrey Ershov independently had the same idea. The term "open addressing" was coined by W. Wesley Peterson in his article which discusses
