This paper presents a new kind of self-balancing ternary search trie that uses a randomized balancing strategy adapted from Aragon and Seidel's randomized binary search trees ("treaps"). After any sequence of insertions and deletions of…

We suggest a new non-recursive algorithm for constructing a binary search tree given an array of numbers. The algorithm has $O(N)$ time and $O(1)$ memory complexity if the given array of $N$ numbers is sorted. The resulting tree is of…

Weight-balanced trees are a popular form of self-balancing binary search trees. Their popularity is due to desirable guarantees, for example regarding the required work to balance annotated trees. While usual weight-balanced trees perform…

We introduce the zip tree, a form of randomized binary search tree that integrates previous ideas into one practical, performant, and pleasant-to-implement package. A zip tree is a binary search tree in which each node has a numeric rank…

The induction of additional randomness in parallel and sequential ensemble methods has proven to be worthwhile in many aspects. In this manuscript, we propose and examine a novel random tree depth injection approach suitable for sequential…

Frequent tree mining asks us to enumerate tree patterns that occur frequently in a database of rooted trees. This problem is motivated by tree-structured data in bioinformatics, such as glycans and pseudoknot-free RNA secondary structures.…

We study a generalized binary search problem on the line and general trees. On the line (e.g., a sorted array), binary search finds a target node in $O(\log n)$ queries in the worst case, where $n$ is the number of nodes. In situations with…

An optimal binary search tree for an access sequence on elements is a static tree that minimizes the total search cost. Constructing perfectly optimal binary search trees is expensive so the most efficient algorithms construct almost…

Containment-based trees encompass various handy structures such as B+-trees, R-trees and M-trees. They are widely used to build data indexes, range-queryable overlays, publish/subscribe systems both in centralized and distributed contexts.…

In this paper we generalize the definition of "Search Trees" (ST) to enable reference values other than the key of prior inserted nodes. The idea builds on the assumption an $n$-node AVL (or Red-Black) requires to assure $O(\log_2n)$…

We study learning-augmented binary search trees (BSTs) via Treaps with carefully designed priorities. The result is a simple search tree in which the depth of each item $x$ is determined by its predicted weight $w_x$. Specifically, each…

Tree-structured LSTM is promising way to consider long-distance interaction over hierarchies. However, there have been few research efforts on the hyperparameter tuning of the construction and traversal of tree-structured LSTM. To name a…

Recombining trinomial trees are a workhorse for modeling discrete-event systems in option pricing, logistics, and feedback control. Because each node stores a state-dependent quantity, a depth-$D$ tree naively yields $\mathcal{O}(3^{D})$…

Tackling simulation optimization problems with non-convex objective functions remains a fundamental challenge in operations research. In this paper, we propose a class of random search algorithms, called Regular Tree Search, which…

This paper presents the first implementation of a search tree data structure in an asynchronous shared-memory system that provides a wait-free algorithm for executing range queries on the tree, in addition to non-blocking algorithms for…

Data augmentation is widely used for training a neural network given little labeled data. A common practice of augmentation training is applying a composition of multiple transformations sequentially to the data. Existing augmentation…

We investigate the distribution of the depth of a node containing a specific key or, equivalently, the number of steps needed to retrieve an item stored in a randomly grown binary search tree. Using a representation in terms of mixed and…

Spanning trees of low average stretch on the non-tree edges, as introduced by Alon et al. [SICOMP 1995], are a natural graph-theoretic object. In recent years, they have found significant applications in solvers for symmetric diagonally…

The Subtree Isomorphism problem asks whether a given tree is contained in another given tree. The problem is of fundamental importance and has been studied since the 1960s. For some variants, e.g., ordered trees, near-linear time algorithms…

We give the first non-trivial fully dynamic probabilistic tree embedding algorithm for weighted graphs undergoing edge insertions and deletions. We obtain a trade-off between amortized update time and expected stretch against an oblivious…
