The BAlanced Tree Overlay Network (BATON) is a distributed tree structure designed for peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. Unlike other overlays that employ a distributed hash table, BATON organises peers in a distributed tree to facilitate range search.
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.
In computer science, an optimal binary search tree (Optimal BST), sometimes called a weight-balanced binary tree, [1] is a binary search tree which provides the smallest possible search time (or expected search time) for a given sequence of accesses (or access probabilities). Optimal BSTs are generally divided into two types: static and dynamic.
A binary tree is a rooted tree that is also an ordered tree (a.k.a. plane tree) in which every node has at most two children. A rooted tree naturally imparts a notion of levels (distance from the root); thus, for every node, a notion of children may be defined as the nodes connected to it a level below.
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.
If the two trees are balanced, join simply creates a new node with left subtree t 1, root k and right subtree t 2. Suppose that t 1 is heavier (this "heavier" depends on the balancing scheme) than t 2 (the other case is symmetric). Join follows the right spine of t 1 until a node c which is balanced with t 2.
Binary tree sort, in particular, is likely to be slower than merge sort, quicksort, or heapsort, because of the tree-balancing overhead as well as cache access patterns.) Self-balancing BSTs are flexible data structures, in that it's easy to extend them to efficiently record additional information or perform new operations.
A red–black tree is a balanced binary search tree in which each node has a color (red or black), satisfying the following properties: External nodes are black. If an internal node is red, its two children are both black. All paths from the root to an external node have equal numbers of black nodes.
