Split: To split a red–black tree into two smaller trees, those smaller than key x, and those larger than key x, first draw a path from the root by inserting x into the red–black tree. After this insertion, all values less than x will be found on the left of the path, and all values greater than x will be found on the
One property of a 2–3–4 tree is that all external nodes are at the same depth. 2–3–4 trees are closely related to red–black trees by interpreting red links (that is, links to red children) as internal links of 3-nodes and 4-nodes, although this correspondence is not one-to-one. [2]
Both AVL trees and red–black (RB) trees are self-balancing binary search trees and they are related mathematically. Indeed, every AVL tree can be colored red–black, [14] but there are RB trees which are not AVL balanced. For maintaining the AVL (or RB) tree's invariants, rotations play an important role.
All of the red-black tree algorithms that have been proposed are characterized by a worst-case search time bounded by a small constant multiple of log N in a tree of N keys, and the behavior observed in practice is typically that same multiple faster than the worst-case bound, close to the optimal log N nodes examined that would be observed in a perfectly balanced tree.
AA trees are named after their originator, Swedish computer scientist Arne Andersson. [1] AA trees are a variation of the red–black tree, a form of binary search tree which supports efficient addition and deletion of entries. Unlike red–black trees, red nodes on an AA tree can only be added as a right subchild.
Self-balancing binary trees solve this problem by performing transformations on the tree (such as tree rotations) at key insertion times, in order to keep the height proportional to log 2 (n). Although a certain overhead is involved, it is not bigger than the always necessary lookup cost and may be justified by ensuring fast execution of all ...
One advantage of AVL trees over red–black trees is being more balanced: they have height at most (for a tree with n data items, where is the golden ratio), while red–black trees have larger maximum height, . If a WAVL tree is created using only insertions, without deletions, then it has the same small height bound that an AVL ...
Various height-balanced binary search trees were introduced to confine the tree height, such as AVL trees, Treaps, and red–black trees. [5] The AVL tree was invented by Georgy Adelson-Velsky and Evgenii Landis in 1962 for the efficient organization of information. [6] [7] It was the first self-balancing binary search tree to be invented. [8]
