  1. Leftist Trees Linked binary tree. Can do everything a heap can do and in the same asymptotic complexity. insert remove min (or max) initialize Can meld two leftist tree priority queues in O(log n) time.

  2. Extended Binary Trees Start with any binary tree and add an external node wherever there is an empty subtree. Result is an extended binary tree.

  3. A Binary Tree

  4. An Extended Binary Tree number of external nodes is n+1

  5. The Function s() For any node x in an extended binary tree, let s(x) be the length of a shortest path from x to an external node in the subtree rooted at x.

  6. s() Values Example

  7. 2 s() Values Example 2 1 2 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

  8. Properties Of s() If x is an external node, then s(x) = 0. Otherwise, s(x) = min {s(leftChild(x)), s(rightChild(x))} + 1

  9. Height Biased Leftist Trees A binary tree is a (height biased) leftist tree iff for every internal node x, s(leftChild(x)) >= s(rightChild(x))

  11. Leftist Trees – Property 1 In a leftist tree, the rightmost path is a shortest root to external node path and the length of this path is s(root).

  12. 2 A Leftist Tree 2 1 2 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Length of rightmost path is 2.

  13. Leftist Trees—Property 2 The number of internal nodes is at least 2s(root) - 1 Because levels 1 through s(root) have no external nodes.

  14. 2 A Leftist Tree 2 1 2 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Levels 1 and 2 have no external nodes.

  15. Leftist Trees—Property 3 Length of rightmost path is O(log n), where n is the number of (internal) nodes in a leftist tree. Property 2 => n >= 2s(root) – 1 => s(root) <= log2(n+1) Property 1 => length of rightmost path is s(root).

  16. Leftist Trees As Priority Queues • Min leftist tree … leftist tree that is a min tree. • Used as a min priority queue. • Max leftist tree … leftist tree that is a max tree. • Used as a max priority queue.

  19. 2 4 3 6 8 5 9 8 6 7 Put Operation put(7) Create a single node min leftist tree. Meld the two min leftist trees.

  20. 2 Remove Min 4 3 6 8 5 9 8 6 Remove the root.

  21. 2 4 3 6 8 5 9 8 6 Remove Min Remove the root. Meld the two subtrees.

  22. 4 3 6 8 5 6 9 8 6 Meld Two Min Leftist Trees Traverse only the rightmost paths so as to get logarithmic performance.

  23. 4 3 Meld Two Min Leftist Trees 6 8 5 6 9 8 6 Meld right subtree of tree with smaller root and all of other tree.

  24. 4 3 Meld Two Min Leftist Trees 6 8 5 6 9 8 6 Meld right subtree of tree with smaller root and all of other tree.

  25. 6 4 Meld Two Min Leftist Trees 6 8 8 6 Meld right subtree of tree with smaller root and all of other tree.

  26. 6 8 Meld Two Min Leftist Trees Meld right subtree of tree with smaller root and all of other tree. Right subtree of 6 is empty. So, result of melding right subtree of tree with smaller root and other tree is the other tree.

  27. 6 8 6 8 6 8 Meld Two Min Leftist Trees Make melded subtree right subtree of smaller root. Swap left and right subtrees if s(left) < s(right).

  28. 4 4 6 6 6 6 8 8 6 8 8 6 Meld Two Min Leftist Trees Make melded subtree right subtree of smaller root. Swap left and right subtree if s(left) < s(right).

  29. 3 5 4 6 6 9 8 6 8 Meld Two Min Leftist Trees Make melded subtree right subtree of smaller root. Swap left and right subtree if s(left) < s(right).

  30. 3 Meld Two Min Leftist Trees 4 5 6 6 9 8 6 8

  31. Initializing In O(n) Time Create nsingle-node min leftist trees and place them in a FIFO queue. Repeatedly remove two min leftist trees from the FIFO queue, meld them, and put the resulting min leftist tree into the FIFO queue. The process terminates when only 1 min leftist tree remains in the FIFO queue. Analysis is the same as for heap initialization.

  32. A x B R L Remove element in node pointed at by x. Arbitrary Remove x = root => remove min.

  33. A x B R L Arbitrary Remove, x != root p Make L right subtree of p. Adjust s and leftist property on path from p to root. Meld with R.

  34. Skew Heap • Similar to leftist tree • No s() values stored • Swap left and right subtrees of all nodes on rightmost path rather than just when s(l(x))< s(r(x)) • Amortized complexity of each operation is O(log n)
