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 ...
Array, a sequence of elements of the same type stored contiguously in memory; Record (also called a structure or struct), a collection of fields . Product type (also called a tuple), a record in which the fields are not named
An x-fast trie is a bitwise trie: a binary tree where each subtree stores values whose binary representations start with a common prefix. Each internal node is labeled with the common prefix of the values in its subtree and typically, the left child adds a 0 to the end of the prefix, while the right child adds a 1.
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.
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:
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.
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.
Order-statistic trees can be further amended with bookkeeping information to maintain balance (e.g., tree height can be added to get an order statistic AVL tree, or a color bit to get a red–black order statistic tree). Alternatively, the size field can be used in conjunction with a weight-balancing scheme at no additional storage cost. [4]
