We analyze and compare the running times of two algorithmic variants and furthermore show examples of their implementation.

My purpose is to discuss an extremely simple technique that deserves to be better known. Suppose x points to an element of a doubly linked list; let L[x] and R[x] point to the predecessor and successor of that element. Then the operations L R[x] ← L[x], R L[x] ← R[x] (1) remove x from the list; every programmer knows this. But comparatively few programmers have realized that the subsequent oper...
