A B-tree of depth n+1 can hold about U times as many items as a B-tree of depth n, but the cost of search, insert, and delete operations grows with the depth of the tree. As with any balanced tree, the cost grows much more slowly than the number of elements.
The operation returns min. Invoke the Delete(Q, min) operation. Return min. CleanUp(Q): Delete all the elements in list L and tree T. Starting from the first element in list L, traverse the list, deleting each node. Starting from the root of the tree T, traverse the tree using the post-order traversal algorithm, deleting each node in the tree.
A B+tree is thus particularly useful as a database system index, where the data typically resides on disk, as it allows the B+tree to actually provide an efficient structure for housing the data itself (this is described in [11]: 238 as index structure "Alternative 1").
Deletion from vEB trees is the trickiest of the operations. The call Delete(T, x) that deletes a value x from a vEB tree T operates as follows: If T.min = T.max = x then x is the only element stored in the tree and we set T.min = M and T.max = −1 to indicate that the tree is empty.
When a second child is cut, the node itself needs to be cut from its parent and becomes the root of a new tree (see Proof of degree bounds, below). The number of trees is decreased in the operation delete-min, where trees are linked together. As a result of a relaxed structure, some operations can take a long time while others are done very ...
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
2–3–4 trees are B-trees of order 4; [1] like B-trees in general, they can search, insert and delete in O(log n) time.One property of a 2–3–4 tree is that all external nodes are at the same depth.
Throughout insertion/deletion operations, the K-D-B-tree maintains a certain set of properties: The graph is a multi-way tree. Region pages always point to child pages, and can not be empty. Point pages are the leaf nodes of the tree. Like a B-tree, the path length to the leaves of the tree is the same for all queries.
