  2. Doubly linked list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_linked_list

    The first and last nodes of a doubly linked list for all practical applications are immediately accessible (i.e., accessible without traversal, and usually called head and tail) and therefore allow traversal of the list from the beginning or end of the list, respectively: e.g., traversing the list from beginning to end, or from end to beginning, in a search of the list for a node with specific ...

  3. Double-ended queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-ended_queue

    A double-ended queue is represented as a sextuple (len_front, front, tail_front, len_rear, rear, tail_rear) where front is a linked list which contains the front of the queue of length len_front. Similarly, rear is a linked list which represents the reverse of the rear of the queue, of length len_rear.

  4. Linked list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_list

    A doubly linked list whose nodes contain three fields: an integer value, the link forward to the next node, and the link backward to the previous node. A technique known as XOR-linking allows a doubly linked list to be implemented using a single link field in each node. However, this technique requires the ability to do bit operations on ...

  5. Queap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queap

    The doubly linked list, L, is used for a series of insert and locate-min operations. The queap keeps a pointer to the minimum element stored in the list. To add element x to list l, the element x is added to the end of the list and a bit variable in element x is set to one. This operation is done to determine if the element is either in the ...

  6. Queue (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_(abstract_data_type)

    A doubly linked list has O(1) insertion and deletion at both ends, so it is a natural choice for queues. A regular singly linked list only has efficient insertion and deletion at one end. However, a small modification—keeping a pointer to the last node in addition to the first one—will enable it to implement an efficient queue. A deque ...

  7. Sentinel node - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_node

    Linked list implementations, especially one of a circular, doubly-linked list, can be simplified remarkably using a sentinel node to demarcate the beginning and end of the list. The list starts out with a single node, the sentinel node which has the next and previous pointers point to itself. This condition determines if the list is empty.

  8. Linked data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_data_structure

    Linked list can be singly, doubly or multiply linked and can either be linear or circular. Basic properties. Objects, called nodes, are linked in a linear sequence. A reference to the first node of the list is always kept. This is called the 'head' or 'front'. [3]

  9. Non-blocking linked list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_linked_list

    A non-blocking linked list is an example of non-blocking data structures designed to implement a linked list in shared memory using synchronization primitives: Compare-and-swap; Fetch-and-add; Load-link/store-conditional; Several strategies for implementing non-blocking lists have been suggested.
