  1. AVL Trees

  2. Binary Tree Issue • One major problem with the binary trees we have discussed thus far: • they can become extremely unbalanced • this will lead to long search times • in the worst case scenario, inserts are done in order • this leads to a linked list structure • possible O(n) performance • this is not likely but it’s performance will tend to be worse than O(log n)

  3. Binary Tree Issue BinaryTree tree = new BinaryTree(); tree.insert(A); tree.insert(C); tree.insert(F); tree.insert(M); tree.insert(Z); root A C F M Z

  4. Balanced Tree • In a perfectly balanced tree • all leaves are at one level • each non-leaf node has two children root M E S C J O W • Worst case search time is log n

  5. AVL Tree • AVL tree definition • a binary tree in which the maximum difference in the height of any node’s right and left sub-trees is 1 (called the balance factor) • balance factor = height(right) – height(left) • AVL trees are usually not perfectly balanced • however, the biggest difference in any two branch lengths will be no more than one level

  6. AVL Tree -1 0 0 0 -1 1 0 0 0 0 AVL Tree AVL Tree

  7. AVL Tree Node • Very similar to regular binary tree node • must add a balance factor field • For this discussion, we will consider the key field to also be the data • this will make things look slightly simpler • they will be confusing enough as it is 

  8. Searching AVL Trees • Searching an AVL tree is exactly the same as searching a regular binary tree • all descendants to the right of a node are greater than the node • all descendants to the left of a node are less than the node

  9. Inserting in AVL Tree • Insertion is similar to regular binary tree • keep going left (or right) in the tree until a null child is reached • insert a new node in this position • an inserted node is always a leaf to start with • Major difference from binary tree • must check if any of the sub-trees in the tree have become too unbalanced • search from inserted node to root looking for any node with a balance factor of ±2

  10. Inserting in AVL Tree • A few points about tree inserts • the insert will be done recursively • the insert call will return true if the height of the sub-tree has changed • since we are doing an insert, the height of the sub-tree can only increase • if insert() returns true, balance factor of current node needs to be adjusted • balance factor = height(right) – height(left) • left sub-tree increases, balance factor decreases by 1 • right sub-tree increases, balance factor increases by 1 • if balance factor equals ±2 for any node, the sub-tree must be rebalanced

  11. Inserting in AVL Tree M(-1) M(0) insert(V) E(1) P(0) E(1) P(1) J(0) J(0) V(0) M(-1) M(-2) insert(L) E(1) P(0) E(-2) P(0) J(0) J(1) L(0) This tree needs to be fixed!

  12. Re-Balancing a Tree • To check if a tree needs to be rebalanced • start at the parent of the inserted node and journey up the tree to the root • if a node’s balance factor becomes ±2 need to do a rotation in the sub-tree rooted at the node • once sub-tree has been re-balanced, guaranteed that the rest of the tree is balanced as well • can just return false from the insert() method • 4 possible cases for re-balancing • only 2 of them need to be considered • other 2 are identical but in the opposite direction

  13. Re-Balancing a Tree • Case 1 • a node, N, has a balance factor of 2 • this means it’s right sub-tree is too long • inserted node was placed in the right sub-tree of N’s right child, Nright • N’s right child have a balance factor of 1 • to balance this tree, need to replace N with it’s right child and make N the left child of Nright

  14. Case 1 M(1) M(2) insert(Z) E(0) R(1) E(0) R(2) V(0) V(1) rotate(R, V) Z(0) M(1) E(0) V(0) R(0) Z(0)

  15. Re-Balancing a Tree • Case 2 • a node, N, has a balance factor of 2 • this means it’s right sub-tree is too long • inserted node was placed in the left sub-tree of N’s right child, Nright • N’s right child have a balance factor of -1 • to balance this tree takes two steps • replace Nright with its left child, Ngrandchild • replace N with it’s grandchild, Ngrandchild

  16. Case 2 M(1) M(2) insert(T) E(0) R(1) E(0) R(2) V(0) V(-1) rotate(V, T) M(2) T(0) E(0) R(2) M(1) rotate(T, R) T(1) E(0) T(0) V(0) R(0) V(0)

  17. Rotate Left V(0) R(2) X(1) V(1) R(0) N(0) rotateLeft(R) X(1) N(0) T(0) Z(0) T(0) Z(0)
