On the sequential access theorem and deque conjecture for splay trees

We give a new, simple proof for the sequential access theorem for splay trees. For an n-node splay tree, our bound on the number of rotations is 4:5n, with a smaller constant than the bound of 10:8n concluded by Tarjan. We extend our proof to prove the deque conjecture for output-restricted deques. Our proofs provide additional insights into the workings of splay trees. c © 2004 Elsevier B.V. A...

Dynamic Optimality and Multi-Splay Trees1

The Dynamic Optimality Conjecture [ST85] states that splay trees are competitive (with a constant competitive factor) among the class of all binary search tree (BST) algorithms. Despite 20 years of research this conjecture is still unresolved. Recently Demaine et al. [DHIP04] suggested searching for alternative algorithms which have small, but non-constant competitive factors. They proposed tan...

A Study on Splay Trees

We study the dynamic optimality conjecture, which predicts that splay trees are a form of universally efficient binary search tree, for any access sequence. We reduce this claim to a regular access bound, which seems plausible and might be easier to prove. This approach may be useful to establish dynamic optimality.

The landscape of bounds for binary search trees

Binary search trees (BSTs) with rotations can adapt to various kinds of structure in search sequences, achieving amortized access times substantially better than the Θ(logn) worst-case guarantee. Classical examples of structural properties include static optimality, sequential access, working set, key-independent optimality, and dynamic finger, all of which are now known to be achieved by the t...

Finger Search on Balanced Search Trees

This thesis introduces the concept of a heterogeneous decomposition of a balanced search tree and apply it to the following problems: • How can finger search be implemented without changing the representation of a Red-Black Tree, such as introducing extra storage to the nodes? (Answer: Any degree-balanced search tree can support finger search without modification in its representation by mainta...
