Received 1 December 1985; In a previous study an ordered array of N keys was considered and the problem of locating a batch of M requested keys was investigated by assuming both batched sequential and batched binary searching. This paper introduces the idea of batched interpolation search, and two variations of the method are presented. Comparisons with the two previously defined methods are also made.
