Fast DecreaseKey Heaps with worst-case variants

Data Structures and Algorithms 2020-11-20 v2

Abstract

In the paper "Fast Fibonacci heaps with worst case extensions", we have described heaps with both Meld-DecreaseKey and DecreaseKey interfaces, allowing operations with guaranteed worst-case asymptotically optimal times. The paper was intended to concentrate on the DecreaseKey interface, but it could be hard to separate the two described data structures without careful reading. The current paper's goal is not to invent a novel data structure, but to describe a rather easy DecreaseKey version in a hopefully readable form. The paper is intended not to require reference to other papers.
