    Study Notes

    Binary Search Trees

    • A self-balancing binary search tree automatically keeps its height small.
    • The defined height for height-balanced binary trees is O(log n), where n is the number of items.

    Height-Balanced Binary Trees

    • The minimum height of a binary tree with n nodes is O(log n).
    • A binary tree with height h can contain a maximum of 2^h - 1 nodes.

    Self-Balancing Trees

    • AVL trees are an example of a self-balancing tree that guarantees a logarithmic height in the number of items.
    • Splay trees are an example of a self-balancing tree that is not guaranteed to have a logarithmic height in the number of items.

    Abstract Data Structures

    • Self-balancing binary search trees can provide efficient implementations for abstract data structures such as sets, multisets, and ordered dictionaries.

    Insertion and Deletion

    • When items are inserted in sorted key order in a binary search tree, the tree can become unbalanced.
    • The time complexity for lookup, insertion, and removal in a self-balancing BST containing n items is O(log n).

    Disadvantages and Extensions

    • A disadvantage of self-balancing BSTs compared to hash tables is that they can be slower and more complex to implement.
    • By extending self-balancing BSTs, it is possible to efficiently record additional information or perform new operations, such as range queries or nearest neighbor searches.

    Additional Space Requirement

    • The additional space requirement for maintaining a BST with minimum height is O(n).
