A frequently used hash family is the matrix multiplication hash family that we have introduced in class. Suppose we have n buckets {1, 2, ..., n}, we will use a binary string of length b = log₂ n to index each bucket. (For example, if we have 4 buckets, they will be indexed as 00, 01, 10, 11.) Now, we would like to hash a u-bit binary string x into the hash table (For example, x could be an 8-bit string 10100110). To hash this u-bit string x into a bucket, we use the hash function hд(x) = (Ax)mod 2, where A is a b x u dimensional binary matrix, and x is a u x 1 dimensional column vector. As a result, h(x) will be a b × 1 dimensional vector which shows the bucket index that x will be hashed to. (For example, x is an 8-bit string [10100110]™, and A is a [1 0 1 1 0 0 0 then h₁(x) ) = (Ax)mod 2 = 2 x 8 dimensional matrix [ 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 [1, 0]T, which means that x will be hashed to bucket 2.) Prove that the above hash function h₁(x) = (Ax)mod 2 is a universal hash family. [Hint: Consider hashing two arbitrary keys x and y into the hash table, both x and y are u-bit binary strings.]

A frequently used hash family is the matrix multiplication hash family that we have introduced in class.

Suppose we have \( n \) buckets \(\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}\), we will use a binary string of length \( b = \log_2 n \) to index each bucket. (For example, if we have 4 buckets, they will be indexed as 00, 01, 10, 11.)

Now, we would like to hash a \( u \)-bit binary string \( x \) into the hash table. (For example, \( x \) could be an 8-bit string 10100110.) To hash this \( u \)-bit string \( x \) into a bucket, we use the hash function \( h_A(x) = (Ax) \mod 2 \), where \( A \) is a \( b \times u \) dimensional binary matrix, and \( x \) is a \( u \times 1 \) dimensional column vector. As a result, \( h_A(x) \) will be a \( b \times 1 \) dimensional vector which shows the bucket index that \( x \) will be hashed to. (For example, \( x \) is an 8-bit string \([10100110]^T\), and \( A \) is a \( 2 \times 8 \) dimensional matrix 
\[
\begin{bmatrix} 
1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 
0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 
\end{bmatrix}
\]
then \( h_A(x) = (Ax) \mod 2 = [1, 0]^T \), which means that \( x \) will be hashed to bucket 2.)

Prove that the above hash function \( h_A(x) = (Ax) \mod 2 \) is a universal hash family. [Hint: Consider hashing two arbitrary keys \( x \) and \( y \) into the hash table, both \( x \) and \( y \) are \( u \)-bit binary strings.]
