Balanced search trees are widely used in computer science to efficiently maintain dynamic ordered data. To support efficient set operations (e.g., union, intersection, difference) using trees, the join-based framework is widely studied.…
Ordered set (and map) is one of the most used data type. In addition to standard set operations, like insert, delete and contains, it can provide set-set operations such as union, intersection, and difference. Each of these set-set…

The "ordered set" abstract data type with operations "insert", "erase", "find", "min", "max", "next" and "prev" is ubiquitous in computer science. It is usually implemented with red-black trees, $B$-trees, or $B^+$-trees. We present our…
