Fillable arrays with constant time operations and a single bit of redundancy
In the fillable array problem one must maintain an array A[1..n] of $w$-bit entries subject to random access reads and writes, and also a $\texttt{fill}(\Delta)$ operation which sets every entry of to some $\Delta\in\{0,\ldots,2^w-1\}$. We show that with just one bit of redundancy, i.e. a data struc...

Zusammenfassung: | In the fillable array problem one must maintain an array A[1..n] of $w$-bit
entries subject to random access reads and writes, and also a
$\texttt{fill}(\Delta)$ operation which sets every entry of to some
$\Delta\in\{0,\ldots,2^w-1\}$. We show that with just one bit of redundancy,
i.e. a data structure using $nw+1$ bits of memory,
$\texttt{read}/\texttt{fill}$ can be implemented in worst case constant time,
and $\texttt{write}$ can be implemented in either amortized constant time
(deterministically) or worst case expected constant (randomized). In the latter
case, we need to store an additional $O(\log n)$ random bits to specify a
permutation drawn from an $1/n^2$-almost pairwise independent family. |
