Abstract
Very recently a new data structure, called a min-max heap, was presented for implementing the double-ended priority queue. A min-max heap onn keys is constructed inO(n) time; the minimum and maximum keys are found in constant time, and the operations of deleting the minimum, deleting the maximum and inserting a new key into the heap are performed inO(logn) time. In addition, the data structure can be stored implicitly, i.e. in an array ofn elements without using any additional pointers.
