  • Heaps a Heap Is a Complete Binary Tree. a Max-Heap Is A
    Heaps Heaps 1 A heap is a complete binary tree. A max-heap is a complete binary tree in which the value in each internal node is greater than or equal to the values in the children of that node. A min-heap is defined similarly. 97 Mapping the elements of 93 84 a heap into an array is trivial: if a node is stored at 90 79 83 81 index k, then its left child is stored at index 42 55 73 21 83 2k+1 and its right child at index 2k+2 01234567891011 97 93 84 90 79 83 81 42 55 73 21 83 CS@VT Data Structures & Algorithms ©2000-2009 McQuain Building a Heap Heaps 2 The fact that a heap is a complete binary tree allows it to be efficiently represented using a simple array. Given an array of N values, a heap containing those values can be built, in situ, by simply “sifting” each internal node down to its proper location: - start with the last 73 73 internal node * - swap the current 74 81 74 * 93 internal node with its larger child, if 79 90 93 79 90 81 necessary - then follow the swapped node down 73 * 93 - continue until all * internal nodes are 90 93 90 73 done 79 74 81 79 74 81 CS@VT Data Structures & Algorithms ©2000-2009 McQuain Heap Class Interface Heaps 3 We will consider a somewhat minimal maxheap class: public class BinaryHeap<T extends Comparable<? super T>> { private static final int DEFCAP = 10; // default array size private int size; // # elems in array private T [] elems; // array of elems public BinaryHeap() { .

  • Assignment 3: Kdtree ______Due June 4, 11:59 PM
    CS106L Handout #04 Spring 2014 May 15, 2014 Assignment 3: KDTree _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Due June 4, 11:59 PM Over the past seven weeks, we've explored a wide array of STL container classes. You've seen the linear vector and deque, along with the associative map and set. One property common to all these containers is that they are exact. An element is either in a set or it isn't. A value either ap- pears at a particular position in a vector or it does not. For most applications, this is exactly what we want. However, in some cases we may be interested not in the question “is X in this container,” but rather “what value in the container is X most similar to?” Queries of this sort often arise in data mining, machine learning, and computational geometry. In this assignment, you will implement a special data structure called a kd-tree (short for “k-dimensional tree”) that efficiently supports this operation. At a high level, a kd-tree is a generalization of a binary search tree that stores points in k-dimen- sional space. That is, you could use a kd-tree to store a collection of points in the Cartesian plane, in three-dimensional space, etc. You could also use a kd-tree to store biometric data, for example, by representing the data as an ordered tuple, perhaps (height, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol). However, a kd-tree cannot be used to store collections of other data types, such as strings. Also note that while it's possible to build a kd-tree to hold data of any dimension, all of the data stored in a kd-tree must have the same dimension.

  • Splay Trees Last Changed: January 28, 2017
    15-451/651: Design & Analysis of Algorithms January 26, 2017 Lecture #4: Splay Trees last changed: January 28, 2017 In today's lecture, we will discuss: • binary search trees in general • definition of splay trees • analysis of splay trees The analysis of splay trees uses the potential function approach we discussed in the previous lecture. It seems to be required. 1 Binary Search Trees These lecture notes assume that you have seen binary search trees (BSTs) before. They do not contain much expository or backtround material on the basics of BSTs. Binary search trees is a class of data structures where: 1. Each node stores a piece of data 2. Each node has two pointers to two other binary search trees 3. The overall structure of the pointers is a tree (there's a root, it's acyclic, and every node is reachable from the root.) Binary search trees are a way to store and update a set of items, where there is an ordering on the items. I know this is rather vague. But there is not a precise way to define the gamut of applications of search trees. In general, there are two classes of applications. Those where each item has a key value from a totally ordered universe, and those where the tree is used as an efficient way to represent an ordered list of items. Some applications of binary search trees: • Storing a set of names, and being able to lookup based on a prefix of the name. (Used in internet routers.) • Storing a path in a graph, and being able to reverse any subsection of the path in O(log n) time.
