Title:
Perfect Hash Families with Few Functions

Authors: Simon R. Blackburn

Abstract:

An {\em (s;n,q,t)-perfect hash family} is a set of functions
\phi_1,\phi_2,\ldots ,\phi_s from a set V of cardinality n to a
set F of cardinality q with the property that every t-subset of
V is injectively mapped into F by at least one of the functions
\phi_i.

The paper shows that the maximum value n_{s,t}(q) that n can take
for fixed s and t has a leading term that is linear in q if and only if
t>s. Moreover, for any s and t such that t>s, the paper shows how to
calculate the coefficient of this linear leading term; this
coefficient is explicitly calculated in some cases. As part of this
process, new classes of good perfect hash families are constructed.
