A polynomial time algorithm is developed for computing an upper bound for the rotation distance of binary trees and equivalently for the diagonal-flip distance of convex polygons ...
Restricted rotation distance between pairs of rooted binary trees measures differences in tree shape and is related to rotation distance. In restricted rotation distance, the rota...
Abstract. Rotation distance quantifies the difference in shape between two rooted binary trees of the same size by counting the minimum number of elementary changes needed to tra...
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...
Splay trees, a form of self-adjusting binary tree, were introduced by Sleator and Tarjan in the early 1980s. Their main use is to store ordered lists. The idea is to keep the tree...
