In data processing R*-trees are a variant of R-trees used for indexing spatial information. R*-trees have slightly higher construction cost than standard R-trees, as the data may need to be reinserted; but the resulting tree will usually have a better query performance. Like the standard R-tree, it can store both point and spatial data.
Simple example of an R-tree for 2D rectangles Visualization of an R*-tree for 3D points using ELKI (the cubes are directory pages). R-trees are tree data structures used for spatial access methods, i.e., for indexing multi-dimensional information such as geographical coordinates, rectangles or polygons.
The performance of R-trees depends on the quality of the algorithm that clusters the data rectangles on a node. Hilbert R-trees use space-filling curves, and specifically the Hilbert curve, to impose a linear ordering on the data rectangles. There are two types of Hilbert R-trees: one for static databases, and one for dynamic databases. In both ...
An R+ tree is a method for looking up data using a location, often (x, y) coordinates, and often for locations on the surface of the Earth.Searching on one number is a solved problem; searching on two or more, and asking for locations that are nearby in both x and y directions, requires craftier algorithms.
These examples reduce easily to a single recursive function by inlining the forest function in the tree function, which is commonly done in practice: directly recursive functions that operate on trees sequentially process the value of the node and recurse on the children within one function, rather than dividing these into two separate functions.
Here are equivalent characterizations of real trees which can be used as definitions: 1) (similar to trees as graphs) A real tree is a geodesic metric space which contains no subset homeomorphic to a circle. [1] 2) A real tree is a connected metric space (,) which has the four points condition [2] (see figure):
function MakeSet(x) is if x is not already in the forest then x.parent := x x.size := 1 // if nodes store size x.rank := 0 // if nodes store rank end if end function. This operation has linear time complexity. In particular, initializing a disjoint-set forest with n nodes requires O(n) time.
For a large class of problems, there is a linear time algorithm to solve a problem from the class if a tree-decomposition with constant bounded treewidth is provided. Specifically, Courcelle's theorem [ 19 ] states that if a graph problem can be expressed in the logic of graphs using monadic second order logic , then it can be solved in linear ...
