Animation showing the insertion of several elements into an AVL tree. It includes left, right, left-right and right-left rotations. Fig. 1: AVL tree with balance factors (green) In computer science, an AVL tree (named after inventors Adelson-Velsky and Landis) is a self-balancing binary search tree.
A double left rotation at X can be defined to be a right rotation at the right child of X followed by a left rotation at X; similarly, a double right rotation at X can be defined to be a left rotation at the left child of X followed by a right rotation at X. Tree rotations are used in a number of tree data structures such as AVL trees, red ...
AVL trees and red–black trees are two examples of binary search trees that use the left rotation. A single left rotation is done in O(1) time but is often integrated within the node insertion and deletion of binary search trees. The rotations are done to keep the cost of other methods and tree height at a minimum.
Most operations on a binary search tree (BST) take time directly proportional to the height of the tree, so it is desirable to keep the height small. A binary tree with height h can contain at most 2 0 +2 1 +···+2 h = 2 h+1 −1 nodes. It follows that for any tree with n nodes and height h: + And that implies:

A single right rotation is done in O(1) time but is often integrated within the node insertion and deletion of binary search trees. The rotations are done to keep the cost of other methods and tree height at a minimum.
In 2016, Blelloch et al. formally proposed the join-based algorithms, and formalized the join algorithm for four different balancing schemes: AVL trees, red–black trees, weight-balanced trees and treaps. In the same work they proved that Adams' algorithms on union, intersection and difference are work-optimal on all the four balancing schemes.
In computer science, a 2–3–4 tree (also called a 2–4 tree) is a self-balancing data structure that can be used to implement dictionaries. The numbers mean a tree where every node with children (internal node) has either two, three, or four child nodes: a 2-node has one data element, and if internal has two child nodes;
The name Scapegoat tree "[...] is based on the common wisdom that, when something goes wrong, the first thing people tend to do is find someone to blame (the scapegoat)." [ 3 ] In the Bible , a scapegoat is an animal that is ritually burdened with the sins of others, and then driven away.
