The decrease key operation replaces the value of a node with a given value with a lower value, and the increase key operation does the same but with a higher value. This involves finding the node with the given value, changing the value, and then down-heapifying or up-heapifying to restore the heap property. Decrease key can be done as follows:
A pairing heap is either an empty heap, or a pairing tree consisting of a root element and a possibly empty list of pairing trees. The heap ordering property requires that parent of any node is no greater than the node itself. The following description assumes a purely functional heap that does not support the decrease-key operation.
Figure 4. Fibonacci heap from Figure 1 after decreasing key of node 9 to 0. If decreasing the key of a node causes it to become smaller than its parent, then it is cut from its parent, becoming a new unmarked root. If it is also less than the minimum key, then the minimum pointer is updated.
Example of a binary max-heap with node keys being integers between 1 and 100. In computer science, a heap is a tree-based data structure that satisfies the heap property: In a max heap, for any given node C, if P is the parent node of C, then the key (the value) of P is greater than or equal to the key of C.
The decrease-key operation requires a reference to the node we wish to decrease the key of. However, the decrease-key operation itself sometimes swaps the key of a node and the key root. Assume that the insert operation returns some opaque reference that we can call decrease-key on, as part of the public API.
Insertion: In order to insert a new key, merge the currently existing (2,3)-heap with a single node tree, () labeled with this key. Since 0 ≤ a k ≤ r − 1 = 2 {\displaystyle 0\leq a_{k}\leq r-1=2} in the extended polynomial, there might be a need to adjust for the carry on trees that can occur from the insertion.
The nodes of the skip list consists of a unique key, a priority, an array of pointers, for each level, to the next nodes and a delete mark. The delete mark marks if the node is about to be deleted by a process. This ensures that other processes can react to the deletion appropriately. insert(e): First, a new node with a key and a priority is ...
This may be done by comparing the keys at the roots of the two trees (the smallest keys in both trees). The root node with the larger key is made into a child of the root node with the smaller key, increasing its order by one: [1] [3] function mergeTree(p, q) if p.root.key <= q.root.key return p.addSubTree(q) else return q.addSubTree(p)
