A weight-balanced tree is a binary search tree that stores the sizes of subtrees in the nodes. That is, a node has fields key, of any ordered type; value (optional, only for mappings) left, right, pointer to node; size, of type integer. By definition, the size of a leaf (typically represented by a nil pointer) is zero.
This unsorted tree has non-unique values (e.g., the value 2 existing in different nodes, not in a single node only) and is non-binary (only up to two children nodes per parent node in a binary tree). The root node at the top (with the value 2 here), has no parent as it is the highest in the tree hierarchy.
The tree with the minimal weighted path length is, by definition, statically optimal. But weighted path lengths have an interesting property. Let E be the weighted path length of a binary tree, E L be the weighted path length of its left subtree, and E R be the weighted path length of its right subtree. Also let W be the sum of all the ...
An adjacency list representation for a graph associates each vertex in the graph with the collection of its neighbouring vertices or edges. There are many variations of this basic idea, differing in the details of how they implement the association between vertices and collections, in how they implement the collections, in whether they include both vertices and edges or only vertices as first ...
To turn a regular search tree into an order statistic tree, the nodes of the tree need to store one additional value, which is the size of the subtree rooted at that node (i.e., the number of nodes below it). All operations that modify the tree must adjust this information to preserve the invariant that size[x] = size[left[x]] + size[right[x]] + 1
A full binary tree An ancestry chart which can be mapped to a perfect 4-level binary tree. A full binary tree (sometimes referred to as a proper, [15] plane, or strict binary tree) [16] [17] is a tree in which every node has either 0 or 2 children.
A binary search of a sorted table with N records, for example, can be done in roughly ⌈ log 2 N ⌉ comparisons. If the table had 1,000,000 records, then a specific record could be located with at most 20 comparisons: ⌈ log 2 (1,000,000) ⌉ = 20. Large databases have historically been kept on disk drives.
The nested set model is a technique for representing nested set collections (also known as trees or hierarchies) in relational databases.. It is based on Nested Intervals, that "are immune to hierarchy reorganization problem, and allow answering ancestor path hierarchical queries algorithmically — without accessing the stored hierarchy relation".
