This unsorted tree has non-unique values (e.g., the value 2 existing in different nodes, not in a single node only) and is non-binary (only up to two children nodes per parent node in a binary tree). The root node at the top (with the value 2 here), has no parent as it is the highest in the tree hierarchy.
A link/cut tree is a data structure for representing a forest, a set of rooted trees, and offers the following operations: Add a tree consisting of a single node to the forest. Given a node in one of the trees, disconnect it (and its subtree) from the tree of which it is part. Attach a node to another node as its child.
A perfect binary tree is a binary tree in which all interior nodes have two children and all leaves have the same depth or same level (the level of a node defined as the number of edges or links from the root node to a node). [18] A perfect binary tree is a full binary tree.
Cartesian trees are defined using binary trees, which are a form of rooted tree. To construct the Cartesian tree for a given sequence of distinct numbers, set its root to be the minimum number in the sequence, [1] and recursively construct its left and right subtrees from the subsequences before and after this number, respectively. As a base ...
To form a binary tree from an arbitrary k-ary tree by this method, the root of the original tree is made the root of the binary tree. Then, starting with the root, each node's leftmost child in the original tree is made its left child in the binary tree, and its nearest sibling to the right in the original tree is made its right child in the ...
In computer science, tree traversal (also known as tree search and walking the tree) is a form of graph traversal and refers to the process of visiting (e.g. retrieving, updating, or deleting) each node in a tree data structure, exactly once. Such traversals are classified by the order in which the nodes are visited.
The B-tree uses all of the ideas described above. In particular, a B-tree: keeps keys in sorted order for sequential traversing; uses a hierarchical index to minimize the number of disk reads; uses partially full blocks to speed up insertions and deletions; keeps the index balanced with a recursive algorithm
Fig. 1: A binary search tree of size 9 and depth 3, with 8 at the root. In computer science, a binary search tree (BST), also called an ordered or sorted binary tree, is a rooted binary tree data structure with the key of each internal node being greater than all the keys in the respective node's left subtree and less than the ones in its right subtree.
