  2. Binary heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_heap

    Contents. Binary 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 heapsort.

  3. Heap (data structure) - Wikipedia

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

    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 a parent node of C, then the key (the value) of P is greater than or equal to the key of C. In a min heap, the key of P is less than or equal to the key of C. [1] The node at the "top" of the heap (with no ...

  4. Binomial heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_heap

    Decrease-key. Θ (log n) O (log n) Merge. Θ (log n) O (log n) In computer science, a binomial heap is a data structure that acts as a priority queue. It is an example of a mergeable heap (also called meldable heap), as it supports merging two heaps in logarithmic time. It is implemented as a heap similar to a binary heap but using a special ...

  5. Priority queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_queue

    STL also has utility functions for manipulating another random-access container as a binary max-heap. The Boost libraries also have an implementation in the library heap. Python's heapq module implements a binary min-heap on top of a list. Java's library contains a PriorityQueue class, which implements a min-priority-queue as a binary heap.

  6. Double-ended priority queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-ended_priority_queue

    In computer science, a double-ended priority queue (DEPQ)[1] or double-ended heap[2] is a data structure similar to a priority queue or heap, but allows for efficient removal of both the maximum and minimum, according to some ordering on the keys (items) stored in the structure. Every element in a DEPQ has a priority or value.

  7. Pairing heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing_heap

    insert: create a new heap for the inserted element and meld into the original heap. decrease-key (optional): remove the subtree rooted at the key to be decreased, replace the key with a smaller key, then meld the result back into the heap. delete-min: remove the root and do repeated melds of its subtrees until one tree remains. Various merging ...

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
