  1. DCO20105 Data structures and algorithms • Lecture 9: More on BST • Removal of a BST • Some advanced balanced BST trees (AVL trees):234 tree, Red-Black tree -- By Rossella Lau

  2. Re-visit on BST • A BST is a tree where all the values of the left sub-tree are less than the root and all the values of the right sub-tree are greater than the root • It supports O(log n) execution time for both search and insert in optimal cases when the BST has high density • The worst execution time may be O(n) when the BST is sparse

  3. Some facts of a BST • A binary search tree’s in-order traversal sequence is a sort order  insertion to a BST can also be treated as a tree sort method and this is another O(n log n) sort algorithm • The minimum value of a BST is on the left most leaf • BSTNode<T> cur = root; // assume size()>=1 • while (cur->left) cur = cur->left; • Return cur->item; • The maximum value of a BST is on the right most leaf

  4. BST removal • Removing a node from a BST should maintain the resulting tree to be a tree as a BST • It cannot have three children • left sub-tree < root < right sub-tree • Should consider different situations of a node (or a sub-tree) • A leaf • A node with a single child • A full node, which has two children

  6. bool BSTree<T>::remove (T const & target) { BSTNode<T> *& contentAt (find (target)); if (! contentAt ) return false; BSTNode<T> *forDelete (contenAt); if (contentAt->isLeaf()) contentAt = 0; forDelete->left = forDelete->right = 0; delete forDelete; countNodes--; return true; } bool BSTNode<T>::isLeaf(void) {return !left && !right;} The algorithm for deletion of a leaf

  7. 90 50 50 87 95 28 28 75 35 35 87 95 40 40 90 Deletion of an item which has one child • Delete 75: When the item is found, put its only child at its place

  8. bool BSTree<T>::remove (T const & target) { BSTNode<T> *& contentAt (find (target)); if (! contentAt ) return false; BSTNode<T> *forDelete (contenAt); if (!contentAt->isLeaf() && // with single !contentAt->isFull() ) // child contentAt = contentAt->left ? contentAt->left : contentAt->right; forDelete->left = forDelete->right = 0; delete forDelete; countNodes--; return true; } bool BSTNode<T>::isFull(void) {return left && right; } The algorithm for deletion of single child node

  10. BSTNode<T> *& BSTree<T>::prepareRemoval( BSTNode<T> *& contentAt) { if (contentAt->isFull()) { BSTNode *& succ ( successor ( contentAt) ); swap ( succ->getItem(), contentAt->getItem() ); return succ; } else return contentAt; } bool BSTree<T>::remove (T const & target) {BSTNode<T> *& contentAt (find (target)); if (! contentAt ) return false; BSTNode<T> *& forDelete(prepareRemoval(contentAt)); BSTNode<T> *realDelete (forDelete); …… // deletion of a leaf or a single child’s parent } The algorithm for deletion of an internal node

  11. BSTNode<T> *& BSTree<T>::successor (BSTNode<T> const *p) { // Assume that the input node (p) has two children BSTNode<T> *it (const_cast<BSTNode<T>*> (p)); if (it->right->left) { // successor at the // left-most right subTree it = it->right; while (it->left->left) it= it->left; return it->left; } else //successor is the right child return it->right; } The algorithm for finding an inorder successor

  12. Notes on const_cast • C++ supports the following type cast operators: • const_cast to cast away constant attribute • In the previous example, p is passed as a pointer pointing to a constant object. • However, it tries to traverse p’s children and the compiler would not allow it to have updated operation it=itnext; • To allow it to traverse its children, const_cast is needed to temporarily cast away the constant attributes of p • static_cast the new way to do former type cast • Former way: doubleResult = (double) intA / intB; • C++: doubleResult = static_cast<double> (intA) / intB; • Other two which are not encouraged: • dynamic_cast, reinterpret_cast

  13. Exercises on BST removal • BST removal: • Ford’s exercise: 10:26: delete 30, 80, 25; 10:32 • Other BST removal related functions • find a predecessor

  14. Complexity for remove() • The main logic for delete() is still find(). However, it requires a function successor() to search an in-order successor. successor() should have a complexity less than or equal to find(), therefore, the big O function of delete() is still the same as find() remove() is similar to find() and has the same complexity as find()

  15. Balanced Binary Tree • To solve the problem of a "linear" BST and maintain an optimal complexity, the problem becomes how to maintain a balanced binary tree • A balanced binary tree is also called an AVL tree • It was discovered by two Russian mathematicians: Adel'son-Vel'skii and Landis • First, the height is defined as the depth of the tree • Then, a balanced binary tree is a binary tree in which the heights of the two sub-trees of every node never differ by more than 1.

  16. A J B C K L D E F M N O P G H Q R S T AVL tree Non AVL tree Examples of AVL BST and non-AVL BST

  17. Efficiency concerns on an AVL BST • There are efficient algorithms to maintain a binary tree as an AVL tree • Insert/remove a node into/from an AVL tree and resulting an AVL tree at O(1) (without searching) • Fords: Supplementary in the book web site • Goodrich et al.: Chapter 9 • Collins: Chapter 9 • It requires more information, the height of a node • With an AVL BST, it can always have an optimal search process on a BST

  18. B-Tree • A node storing only one item is not efficient especially considering I/O is based on “blocks” and a block usually stores about 512 bytes • B-Tree is an extension of a balanced binary tree • When saying a binary tree of order n, it means that the tree allows a node to have n children and stores n-1 items • Searching on a B-tree involves only the number of level block I/O when treating each node as an I/O block and searching within a node which has items stored in a vector that can apply binary search

  19. A • 367 • B C • 103 • 218 • •492 •661•815•912 • 17 87 119 165 198 245 272 330 408 435 524 602 686 770 799 832 871 956 968 975 991 D E F G H I J K A sample B-Tree of Order 5

  20. Searching on a B-Tree • Search for 832 1. Getting block A, linear or binary search on the key values, 815 > 367 go to block C along the right pointer of 367 2. Getting block C, 832 is in between 815 and 912  go to block J along the pointer between 815 and 912 3. Getting block J, search for 832  found! • Search for 65 Getting block A, then B, and D, 65 does not exist in D  not found!

  21. 2-3-4 Tree • A special case of a B-Tree is 2-3-4 tree, B-tree of order 4, in which a node can have up to four children and stores 3 items • Ford’s slides: Chapter 12: 10-15 • Ford’s exercises: Chapter 12: 26(b) • Draw the 2-3-4 tree built when you insert the keys from E A S Y Q U T I O N into an initially empty tree.

  22. Red-Black Tree • To implement a B-Tree is complicated and to implement a 2-3-4 tree is easier but still complicated • Using a Red-black tree to implement (represent) a 2-3-4 tree is easier • Red-black tree is a binary tree • The root is BLACK • A RED parent never has a RED child • Every path from the root to an empty sub-tree has the same number of BLACK nodes • It is closed to a balanced tree and easier to be constructed • Ford’s slides: 12:16-17; exercises: 12:26(c)

  23. Summary • Construction of a BST is also a sorting method which is at O(n logn) for optimal cases • The in-order successor/predecessor of an interior node must be either a leaf or a node with single child • To erase a node from a BST can be categorized as two cases: to delete a leaf and a node with single child • To solve the worst case of a BST, constructing a BST should assure that it is a balanced BST (AVL) • An extension of a BST is a B-Tree and a special case is 2-3-4 tree • Using a Red-Black tree to implement/represent a 2-3-4 tree greatly reduces the complexity
