A skip list does not provide the same absolute worst-case performance guarantees as more traditional balanced tree data structures, because it is always possible (though with very low probability [5]) that the coin-flips used to build the skip list will produce a badly balanced structure. However, they work well in practice, and the randomized ...
A skip graph is a distributed data structure based on skip lists designed to resemble a balanced search tree.They are one of several methods to implement a distributed hash table, which are used to locate resources stored in different locations across a network, given the name (or key) of the resource.
A Disquisition on The Performance Behavior of Binary Search Tree Data Structures (pages 67–75) – comparison of AA trees, red–black trees, treaps, skip lists, and radix trees An Objective-C implementation
Open Data Structures - Section 7.2 - Treap: A Randomized Binary Search Tree, Pat Morin; Animated treap; Randomized binary search trees. Lecture notes from a course by Jeff Erickson at UIUC. Despite the title, this is primarily about treaps and skip lists; randomized binary search trees are mentioned only briefly.
In LSM-trees, write operations are designed to optimize performance by reducing random I/O and leveraging sequential disk writes. When a write operation is initiated, the data is first buffered in an in-memory component, often implemented using a sorted data structure such as a Skip list or B+ tree.
A singly-linked list structure, implementing a list with three integer elements. The term list is also used for several concrete data structures that can be used to implement abstract lists, especially linked lists and arrays. In some contexts, such as in Lisp programming, the term list may refer specifically to a linked list rather than an array.
For example, the best case for a simple linear search on a list occurs when the desired element is the first element of the list. Development and choice of algorithms is rarely based on best-case performance: most academic and commercial enterprises are more interested in improving average-case complexity and worst-case performance .
Unlike splay trees and tango trees, Iacono's data structure is not known to be implementable in constant time per access sequence step, so even if it is dynamically optimal, it could still be slower than other search tree data structures by a non-constant factor. The interleave lower bound is an asymptotic lower bound on dynamic optimality.
