      We examine a version of the dynamic dictionary problem in which stored items have expiration times and can be removed from the dictionary once they have expired. We show that under several reasonable assumptions about the distribution of the items, hashing with lazy deletion uses little more space than methods that use eager deletion. The simple algorithm suggested by this observation was used in a program for analyzing integrated circuit artwork.
