Abstract

We develop a new class of weight balanced binary search trees called β-balanced binary search trees (β-BBSTs). β-BBSTs are designed to have reduced internal path length. As a result, they are expected to exhibit good search time characteristics. Individual search, insert, and delete operations in an n node β-BBST take O( log n) time for [Formula: see text]. Experimental results comparing the performance of β-BBSTs, WB(α) trees, AVL-trees, red/black trees, treaps, deterministic skip lists and skip lists are presented. Two simplified versions of, β-BBSTs are also developed.
