Weight-balanced Tree

Weight-balanced Tree

A weight-balanced binary tree is a binary tree which is balanced based on knowledge of the probabilities of searching for each individual node. Within each subtree, the node with the highest weight appears at the root. This can result in more efficient searching performance.

Construction of such a tree is similar to that of a Treap, but node weights are chosen randomly in the latter.

Famous quotes containing the word tree:

    I have come to the conclusion that the closer people are to what may be called the front lines of government ... the easier it is to see the immediate underbrush, the individual tree trunks of the moment, and to forget the nobility the usefulness and the wide extent of the forest itself.... They forget that politics after all is only an instrument through which to achieve Government.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
