A node is α-weight-balanced if weight[n.left] ≥ α·weight[n] and weight[n.right] ≥ α·weight[n]. [7] Here, α is a numerical parameter to be determined when implementing weight balanced trees. Larger values of α produce "more balanced" trees, but not all values of α are appropriate; Nievergelt and Reingold proved that
An example of a y-fast trie. The nodes shown in the x-fast trie are the representatives of the O(n / log M) balanced binary search trees.. A y-fast trie consists of two data structures: the top half is an x-fast trie and the lower half consists of a number of balanced binary trees.
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.
For height-balanced binary trees, the height is defined to be logarithmic () in the number of items. This is the case for many binary search trees, such as AVL trees and red–black trees . Splay trees and treaps are self-balancing but not height-balanced, as their height is not guaranteed to be logarithmic in the number of items.
In computer science, a trie (/ ˈ t r aɪ /, / ˈ t r iː /), also known as a digital tree or prefix tree, [1] is a specialized search tree data structure used to store and retrieve strings from a dictionary or set. Unlike a binary search tree, nodes in a trie do not store their associated key.
WAVL trees are named after AVL trees, another type of balanced search tree, and are closely related both to AVL trees and red–black trees, which all fall into a common framework of rank balanced trees. Like other balanced binary search trees, WAVL trees can handle insertion, deletion, and search operations in time O(log n) per operation. [1] [2]
To turn a regular search tree into an order statistic tree, the nodes of the tree need to store one additional value, which is the size of the subtree rooted at that node (i.e., the number of nodes below it). All operations that modify the tree must adjust this information to preserve the invariant that size[x] = size[left[x]] + size[right[x]] + 1
