The first and last nodes of a doubly linked list for all practical applications are immediately accessible (i.e., accessible without traversal, and usually called head and tail) and therefore allow traversal of the list from the beginning or end of the list, respectively: e.g., traversing the list from beginning to end, or from end to beginning, in a search of the list for a node with specific ...
A doubly linked list whose nodes contain three fields: an integer value, the link forward to the next node, and the link backward to the previous node. A technique known as XOR-linking allows a doubly linked list to be implemented using a single link field in each node. However, this technique requires the ability to do bit operations on ...
Linked list can be singly, doubly or multiply linked and can either be linear or circular. Basic properties. Objects, called nodes, are linked in a linear sequence. A reference to the first node of the list is always kept. This is called the 'head' or 'front'. [3]
A pointer-based implementation for RAM machines, supporting decrease-key, can be achieved using three pointers per node, by representing the children of a node by a doubly-linked list: a pointer to the node's first child, one to its next sibling, and one to its previous sibling (or, for the leftmost sibling, to its parent).
Given a node n that is not yet part of the list, and a pointer p to a node in the list (perhaps the head), insert n after p. Given a pointer p, delete p.next from the list. Both operations must support concurrent use: two or more threads of execution must be able to perform insertions and deletions without interfering with each other's work ...
List ranking can equivalently be viewed as performing a prefix sum operation on the given list, in which the values to be summed are all equal to one. The list ranking problem can be used to solve many problems on trees via an Euler tour technique, in which one forms a linked list that includes two copies of each edge of the tree, one in each direction, places the nodes of this list into an ...

The idea of DLX is based on the observation that in a circular doubly linked list of nodes, x.left.right ← x.right; x.right.left ← x.left; will remove node x from the list, while x.left.right ← x; x.right.left ← x; will restore x's position in the list, assuming that x.right and x.left have been left unmodified. This works regardless of ...
