If the tree is not empty, then we go down the root, and recursively go down the tree searching for the location to insert the new node. This traversal is guided by the comparison function. In this case, the node always replaces a NULL reference (left or right) of an external node in the tree i.e., the node is either made a left-child or a right ...
Deletion from an AVL tree may be carried out by rotating the node to be deleted down into a leaf node, and then pruning off that leaf node directly. Since at most log n nodes are rotated during the rotation into the leaf, and each AVL rotation takes constant time, the deletion process in total takes O(log n) time.
Weak AVL rule: all rank differences are 1 or 2, and all leaf nodes have rank 0. Note that weak AVL tree generalizes the AVL tree by allowing for 2,2 type node. A simple proof shows that a weak AVL tree can be colored in a way that represents a red-black tree. So in a sense, weak AVL tree combines the properties of AVL tree and red-black tree.
Join follows the right spine of t 1 until a node c which is balanced with t 2. At this point a new node with left child c, root k and right child t 2 is created to replace c. The new node may invalidate the weight-balanced invariant. This can be fixed with a single or a double rotation assuming <
To insert a value, we start at the root of the 2–3–4 tree: If the current node is a 4-node: Remove and save the middle value to get a 3-node. Split the remaining 3-node up into a pair of 2-nodes (the now missing middle value is handled in the next step). If this is the root node (which thus has no parent):
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.
To insert into a 3-node, more work may be required depending on the location of the 3-node. If the tree consists only of a 3-node, the node is split into three 2-nodes with the appropriate keys and children. Insertion of a number in a 2–3 tree for 3 possible cases. If the target node is a 3-node whose parent is a 2-node, the key is inserted ...
An entire binary search tree can be easily traversed in order of the main key, but given only a pointer to a node, finding the node which comes next may be slow or impossible. For example, leaf nodes by definition have no descendants, so given only a pointer to a leaf node no other node can be reached.
