Abstract

Some heuristics for computing the character weights in a Cichelli-style, minimal perfect hashing function are given. These ideas should perform best when applied to relatively small, static sets of character strings and they can be used as the foundation for a large programming assignment. An example using the names of the fifty United States is given to illustrate how the weights are determined.
