β¦ Synopsis
Let V be a set of order n and let F be a set of order q. A set S [,: V Γ F ] of functions from V to F is an (n, q, t)-perfect hash family if for all X V with |X | =t, there exists , # S which is injective when restricted to X. Perfect hash families arise in compiler design, in circuit complexity theory and in cryptography. Let S be an (n, q, t)-perfect hash family. The paper provides lower bounds on |S|, which better previously known lower bounds for many parameter sets. The paper exhibits new classes of perfect hash families which show that these lower bounds are realistic.

Let A be a set of order n and B be a set of order m. An (n, m, w)-perfect hash family is a set H of functions from A to B such that for any X A with |X |=w, there exists an element h # H such that h is one-to-one when restricted to X. Perfect hash families have many applications to computer science,
In this paper, we consider explicit constructions of perfect hash families using combinatorial methods. We provide several direct constructions from combinatorial structures related to orthogonal arrays. We also simplify and generalize a recursive construction due to Atici, Magliversas, Stinson and
