Abstract

AbstractThe algorithm proposed by Chang and lyengar to perfectly balance binary search trees has been modified to not only balance but also thread binary search trees. Threads are constructed in the same sequence as normal pointers during the balancing process. No extra workspace is necessary, and the running time is also linear for the modified algorithm. Such produced tree structure has minimal average path length for fast information retrieval, and threads to facilitate more flexible and efficient traversing schemes. Maintenance and manipulation of the data structure are discussed and relevant algorithms given.
