We study a wide generalization of two classical problems, the Huffman Tree and Alphabetic Tree Problem. We assume that the cost caused by the ith leaf is fi(di), where di is its d...
We investigate code trees and search trees with cost functions that increase exponentially with the depth in the tree. While corresponding coding theorems have been considered in ...
Let P = {p(i)} be a measure of strictly positive probabilities on the set of nonnegative integers. Although the countable number of inputs prevents usage of the Huffman algorithm, ...
The decision tree is one of the most fundamental ing abstractions. A commonly used type of decision tree is the alphabetic binary tree, which uses (without loss of generality) &quo...
A commonly used type of search tree is the alphabetic binary tree, which uses (without loss of generality) "less than" versus "greater than or equal to" tests ...
