  2. Skip list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_list

    () operations, which force us to visit every node in ascending order (such as printing the entire list), provide the opportunity to perform a behind-the-scenes derandomization of the level structure of the skip-list in an optimal way, bringing the skip list to (⁡) search time. (Choose the level of the i'th finite node to be 1 plus the number ...

  3. Finger search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_search

    In a skip list, one can finger search for x from a node containing the element y by simply continuing the search from this point. Note that if x < y, then search proceeds backwards, and if x > y, then search proceeds forwards. The backwards case is symmetric to normal search in a skip list, but the forward case is actually more complex.

  4. Jump search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_search

    To find the exact position of the search key in the list a linear search is performed on the sublist L [(k-1)m, km]. The optimal value of m is √ n, where n is the length of the list L. Because both steps of the algorithm look at, at most, √ n items the algorithm runs in O(√ n) time. This is better than a linear search, but worse than a ...

  5. Skip graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_graph

    A skip graph is a distributed data structure based on skip lists designed to resemble a balanced search tree.They are one of several methods to implement a distributed hash table, which are used to locate resources stored in different locations across a network, given the name (or key) of the resource.

  6. Search data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_data_structure

    The simplest, most general, and least efficient search structure is merely an unordered sequential list of all the items. Locating the desired item in such a list, by the linear search method, inevitably requires a number of operations proportional to the number n of items, in the worst case as well as in the average case. Useful search data ...

  7. Boyer–Moore–Horspool algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore–Horspool...

    The best case is the same as for the Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm in big O notation, although the constant overhead of initialization and for each loop is less. The worst case behavior happens when the bad character skip is consistently low (with the lower limit of 1 byte movement) and a large portion of the needle matches the haystack.

  9. 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.
