An Approximation Algorithm for Binary Searching in Trees
We consider the problem of computing efficient strategies for searching in trees. As a generalization of the classical binary search for ordered lists, suppose one wishes to find...

Generalization of Binary Search: Searching in Trees and Forest-Like Partial Orders
We extend the binary search technique to searching in trees. We consider two models of queries: questions about vertices and questions about edges. We present a general approach t...

Approximating Optimal Binary Decision Trees
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....

Efficient Reorganization of Binary Search Trees
We consider the problem of maintaining a binary search tree (BST) that minimizes the average access cost needed to satisfy randomly generated requests. We analyze scenarios in whi...

Subtree Sizes in Recursive Trees and Binary Search Trees: Berry-Esseen Bounds and Poisson Approximations
We study the number of subtrees on the fringe of random recursive trees and random binary search trees whose limit law is known to be either normal or Poisson or degenerate depend...
