We define and study the notion of min-wise independent families of permutations. We say that F subset of or equal to S-n (the symmetric group) is min-wise independent if for any set X subset of or equal to [n] and any x is an element of X, when pi is chosen at random in F we have Pr(min{pi(X)} = pi(x)) = 1/\X\. In other words we require that ail the elements of any fixed set X have an equal chance to become the minimum element of the image of X under pi. Our research was motivated by the fact that such a family (under some relaxations) is essential to the algorithm used in practice by the AltaVista web index software to detect and filter near-duplicate documents. However, in the course of our investigation we have discovered interesting and challenging theoretical questions related to this concept-we present the solutions ii, some of them and we list the rest as open problems.
