Split: To split a red–black tree into two smaller trees, those smaller than key x, and those larger than key x, first draw a path from the root by inserting x into the red–black tree. After this insertion, all values less than x will be found on the left of the path, and all values greater than x will be found on the
A left-leaning red-black tree satisfies all the properties of a red-black tree: Every node is either red or black. A NIL node is considered black. A red node does not have a red child. Every path from a given node to any of its descendant NIL nodes goes through the same number of black nodes. The root is black (by convention).
One property of a 2–3–4 tree is that all external nodes are at the same depth. 2–3–4 trees are closely related to red–black trees by interpreting red links (that is, links to red children) as internal links of 3-nodes and 4-nodes, although this correspondence is not one-to-one. [2]
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.
Both AVL trees and red–black (RB) trees are self-balancing binary search trees and they are related mathematically. Indeed, every AVL tree can be colored red–black, [14] but there are RB trees which are not AVL balanced. For maintaining the AVL (or RB) tree's invariants, rotations play an important role.
AA trees are named after their originator, Swedish computer scientist Arne Andersson. [1] AA trees are a variation of the red–black tree, a form of binary search tree which supports efficient addition and deletion of entries. Unlike red–black trees, red nodes on an AA tree can only be added as a right subchild.
I am tempted to remove some of the "See also" links. AA trees are a variation of the red-black tree, AVL and B-trees are discussed in the article, but scapegoat trees, splay trees, and T-trees are not. The article about scapegoat trees mentions red-black trees, but the connection is weak. The other two don't refer to red-black trees at all.
Self-balancing binary trees solve this problem by performing transformations on the tree (such as tree rotations) at key insertion times, in order to keep the height proportional to log 2 (n). Although a certain overhead is involved, it is not bigger than the always necessary lookup cost and may be justified by ensuring fast execution of all ...
