Study Notes

Binary Search Tree (BST) Recovery

  • The primary purpose of recovering a BST is to ensure its structural integrity after modifications.
  • Deletion operation can lead to the need for recovering a BST.
  • The binary search property must be maintained after a node deletion in a BST.

In-order Traversal

  • In-order traversal of a BST produces nodes in sorted order.
  • In-order traversal algorithm can be used for recovering a BST after a deletion.

Node Deletion and Recovery

  • The simplest case to handle when recovering a BST after a deletion is a node with no children.
  • When a node with two children is deleted from a BST, the node's right child is typically chosen as its replacement.

Steps in BST Recovery

  • Finding the node to be deleted is a step in recovering a BST.
  • Deleting the node is a step in recovering a BST.
  • Reorganizing the tree to maintain the binary search property is a step in recovering a BST.

Data Structure for Tracking Parent Nodes

  • A stack is a data structure commonly used for tracking parent nodes during BST recovery.

Post-Recovery Operations

  • Performing a rebalancing operation like AVL or Red-Black tree rotations is necessary to ensure the tree is balanced after recovering a BST following a deletion.
