Priority-queue. R-tree. Simple example of an R-tree for 2D rectangles Visualization of an R*-tree for 3D cubes using ELKI R-trees are tree data structures used for spatial access methods, i.e., for indexing multi-dimensional information such as geographical coordinates, rectangles or polygons. The R-tree was proposed by Antonin Guttman in 1984[1] and has found significant use in both theoretical and applied contexts.[2] A common real-world usage for an R-tree might be to store spatial objects such as restaurant locations or the polygons that typical maps are made of: streets, buildings, outlines of lakes, coastlines, etc. and then find answers quickly to queries such as "Find all museums within 2 km of my current location", "retrieve all road segments within 2 km of my location" (to display them in a navigation system) or "find the nearest gas station" (although not taking roads into account).

Segment tree. A segment tree for a set I of n intervals uses O(n log n) storage and can be built in O(n log n) time.

Segment tree

Segment trees support searching for all the intervals that contain a query point in O(log n + k), k being the number of retrieved intervals or segments.[1] Applications of the segment tree are in the areas of computational geometry, and geographic information systems. The segment tree can be generalized to higher dimension spaces as well. Structure description[edit] B+ tree. A simple B+ tree example linking the keys 1–7 to data values d1-d7.

B+ tree

The linked list (red) allows rapid in-order traversal. A B+ tree is an n-ary tree with a variable but often large number of children per node. A B+ tree consists of a root, internal nodes and leaves. The root may be either a leaf or a node with two or more children.[2] A B+ tree can be viewed as a B-tree in which each node contains only keys (not key-value pairs), and to which an additional level is added at the bottom with linked leaves. Overview[edit] The order, or branching factor, b of a B+ tree measures the capacity of nodes (i.e., the number of children nodes) for internal nodes in the tree.

MIT’s Introduction to Algorithms, Lecture 11: Augmenting Data St

" In this post I will review lecture eleven, which is on the topic of Augmenting Data Structures. There are some programming situations that can be perfectly solved with standard data structures such as a linked lists, hash tables, or binary search trees. Many others require a dash of creativity. Only in rare situations will you need to create an entirely new type of data structure, though. More often, it will suffice to augment (to modify) an existing data structure by storing additional information in it. This lecture discusses two data structures that are constructed by augmenting red-black trees (see the previous post on red-black trees). The first part of the lecture describes a data structure that supports general order-statistic operations on a dynamic set. The lecture continues with general methodology of how to augment a data structure. 1. You're welcome to watch lecture eleven: MIT’s Introduction to Algorithms, Lectures 9 and 10: Search Tree.

MIT’s Introduction to Algorithms, Lectures 9 and 10: Search Tree

" In this post I will review lectures nine and ten, which are on the topic of Search Trees. Search tree data structures provide many dynamic-set operations such as search, insert, delete, minimum element, maximum element and others. The complexity of these operations is proportional to the height of the tree. The better we can balance the tree, the faster they will be. Lectures nine and ten discuss two such structures. Lecture nine discusses randomly built binary search trees. Eternally Confuzzled - Red Black Tree Tutorial. By Julienne WalkerLicense: Public Domain Welcome back!

Eternally Confuzzled - Red Black Tree Tutorial

Or if this is your first experience with my tutorials, get ready for a good time. But first, why another red black tree tutorial? Anyone who searches for red black trees on Google will be rewarded with a slew of resources that include tutorials, general descriptions, Java applets, papers, libraries, and power point presentations. This is good, but not good enough. Well guys, I'm not that smart. When it comes to red black trees, there is only one widely accepted resource: “Introduction to Algorithms” by Cormen, Leiserson, and Rivest, affectionately known as CLR. I learned red black trees the hard way. This tutorial will cover both the non-recursive top-down and recursive bottom-up algorithms for red black insertion and deletion, as well as provide full C source code for all variations described. Concept Basic binary search trees are simple data structures that boast O(log N) search, insertion, and deletion.

Finally, the rotations.
