摘要:We show that on a RAM with addition, subtraction, bitwise Boolean operations and shifts, but no multiplication, there is a trans-dichotomous solution to the static dictionary problem using linear space and with query time sqrt(log n(log log n)^(1+o(1))). On the way, we show that two w-bit words can be multiplied in time (log w)^(1+o(1)) and that time Omega(log w) is necessary, and that Theta(log log w) time is necessary and sufficient for identifying the least significant set bit of a word.
