Queues provide services in computer science, transport, and operations research where various entities such as data, objects, persons, or events are stored and held to be processed later. In these contexts, the queue performs the function of a buffer. Another usage of queues is in the implementation of breadth-first search.
The priority queue can be further improved by not moving the remaining elements of the result set directly back into the local queues after a k_extract-min operation. This saves moving elements back and forth all the time between the result set and the local queues. By removing several elements at once a considerable speedup can be reached.
Double-ended queues can also be implemented as a purely functional data structure. [3]: 115 Two versions of the implementation exist. The first one, called 'real-time deque, is presented below. It allows the queue to be persistent with operations in O(1) worst-case time, but requires lazy lists with memoization. The second one, with no lazy ...
A bucket queue can handle elements with integer priorities in the range from 0 or 1 up to some known bound C, and operations that insert elements, change the priority of elements, or extract (find and remove) the element that has the minimum (or maximum) priority.
UML class diagram of a double-ended priority queue. A double-ended priority queue features the following operations: isEmpty() Checks if DEPQ is empty and returns true if empty. size() Returns the total number of elements present in the DEPQ. getMin() Returns the element having least priority. getMax() Returns the element having highest ...
In computer science, a Fibonacci heap is a data structure for priority queue operations, consisting of a collection of heap-ordered trees.It has a better amortized running time than many other priority queue data structures including the binary heap and binomial heap.
In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, the M/M/c queue (or Erlang–C model [1]: 495 ) is a multi-server queueing model. [2] In Kendall's notation it describes a system where arrivals form a single queue and are governed by a Poisson process, there are c servers, and job service times are exponentially distributed. [3]
The first two items in the queue are removed, merged, and placed back into the queue. This can initialize a HBLT in O(n) time. This approach is detailed in the three diagrams supplied. A min height biased leftist tree is shown. To initialize a min HBLT, place each element to be added to the tree into a queue.
