Emerging behavior as binary search trees are symmetrically updated

Profile and Height of Random Binary Search Trees

The purpose of this article is to survey recent results on distributional properties of random binary search trees. In particular we consider the profile and the height.

Combining Binary Search Trees

We present a general transformation for combining a constant number of binary search tree data structures (BSTs) into a single BST whose running time is within a constant factor of the minimum of any “well-behaved” bound on the running time of the given BSTs, for any online access sequence. (A BST has a well-behaved bound with f(n) overhead if it spends at most O(f(n)) time per access and its b...

Optimal Binary Search Trees

An optimal binary search tree is a binary search tree for which the nodes are arranged on levels such that the tree cost is minimum. For the purpose of a better presentation of optimal binary search trees, we will consider “extended binary search trees”, which have the keys stored at their internal nodes. Suppose “n” keys k1, k2, ... , k n are stored at the internal nodes of a binary search tre...
