Skip Lists: A Probabilistic Alternative to Balanced Trees
rees can be used for representing abstract data types such as dictionaries and ordered lists. They work well when the elements are inserted in a random order. Some sequences of ope...

Exploring the duality between skip lists and binary search trees
Although skip lists were introduced as an alternative to balanced binary search trees (BSTs), we show that the skip list can be interpreted as a type of randomly-balanced BST whos...

Balanced Search Trees Made Simple
Abstract. As a contribution to the recent debate on simple implementations of dictionaries, we present new maintenancealgorithms for balanced trees. In terms of code simplicity, ou...

Skip Tree Graph: a Distributed and Balanced Search Tree for Peer-to-Peer Networks
Abstract—Skip Tree Graph is a novel, distributed, data structure for peer-to-peer systems that supports exact-match and order-based queries such as range queries efficiently. It...

Dynamic optimality for skip lists and B-trees
Sleator and Tarjan [39] conjectured that splay trees are dynamically optimal binary search trees (BST). In this context, we study the skip list data structure introduced by Pugh [...
