  2. Binary heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_heap

    Example of a complete binary max-heap Example of a complete binary min heap. A binary heap is a heap data structure that takes the form of a binary tree. Binary heaps are a common way of implementing priority queues. [1]: 162–163 The binary heap was introduced by J. W. J. Williams in 1964 as a data structure for implementing heapsort. [2] A ...

  3. Heap (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_(data_structure)

    Example of a binary max-heap with node keys being integers between 1 and 100. In computer science, a heap is a tree-based data structure that satisfies the heap property: In a max heap, for any given node C, if P is the parent node of C, then the key (the value) of P is greater than or equal to the key of C.

  4. Heapsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heapsort

    The heapsort algorithm can be divided into two phases: heap construction, and heap extraction. The heap is an implicit data structure which takes no space beyond the array of objects to be sorted; the array is interpreted as a complete binary tree where each array element is a node and each node's parent and child links are defined by simple arithmetic on the array indexes.

  5. B-heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-heap

    In detail, a b-heap can be implemented in the following way. Poul-Henning Kamp [4] gives two options for the layout of the nodes: one in which two positions per page are wasted, but the strict binary structure of the tree is preserved, and another which uses the whole available space of the pages, but has the tree fail to expand for one level upon entering a new page (The nodes on that level ...

  6. Huffman coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding

    In computer science and information theory, a Huffman code is a particular type of optimal prefix code that is commonly used for lossless data compression.The process of finding or using such a code is Huffman coding, an algorithm developed by David A. Huffman while he was a Sc.D. student at MIT, and published in the 1952 paper "A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes".

  7. Prim's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prim's_algorithm

    Using a simple binary heap data structure, Prim's algorithm can now be shown to run in time O(|E| log |V|) where |E| is the number of edges and |V| is the number of vertices. Using a more sophisticated Fibonacci heap , this can be brought down to O (|E| + |V| log |V|), which is asymptotically faster when the graph is dense enough that |E| is ω ...

  8. d-ary heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-ary_heap

    The d-ary heap or d-heap is a priority queue data structure, a generalization of the binary heap in which the nodes have d children instead of 2. [1] [2] [3] Thus, a binary heap is a 2-heap, and a ternary heap is a 3-heap. According to Tarjan [2] and Jensen et al., [4] d-ary heaps were invented by Donald B. Johnson in 1975. [1]

  9. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    The induction proof for the claim is now complete, which will now lead to why Heap's Algorithm creates all permutations of array A. Once again we will prove by induction the correctness of Heap's Algorithm. Basis: Heap's Algorithm trivially permutes an array A of size 1 as outputting A is the one and only permutation of A.
