The Cayley table representation of a group uses O (n 2) words for a group of order n and
answers multiplication queries in time O (1). It is interesting to ask if there is ao (n 2) space
representation of groups that still has O (1) query-time. We show that for any δ, 1/log⁡ n≤
δ≤ 1, there is an O (n 1+ δ/δ) space representation for groups of order n with O (1/δ) query-
time. We also show that for Dedekind groups, simple groups and several group classes
defined in terms of semidirect product, there are O (n) space representations with logarithmic …
The Cayley table representation of a group uses O (n 2) words for a group of order n and answers multiplication queries in time O (1). It is interesting to ask if there is a o (n 2) space representation of groups that still has O (1) query-time. We show that for any δ, 1/log⁡ n≤ δ≤ 1, there is an O (n 1+ δ/δ) space representation for groups of order n with O (1/δ) query-time. We also show that for Dedekind groups, simple groups and several group classes defined in terms of semidirect product, there are O (n) space representations with logarithmic query-time where n is the size of the group. Farzan and Munro (ISSAC'06) defined a model for group representation and gave a succinct data structure for abelian groups with constant query-time. They asked if their result can be extended to categorically larger group classes. We construct data structures in their model for Hamiltonian groups and some other classes of groups with constant query-time.
