Performance
All of the following operations work in O(log n) time on a binomial heap with n elements:
- Insert a new element to the heap
- Find the element with minimum key
- Delete the element with minimum key from the heap
- Decrease key of a given element
- Delete given element from the heap
- Merge two given heaps to one heap
Finding the element with minimum key can also be done in O(1) by using an additional pointer to the minimum.

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“To vote is like the payment of a debt—a duty never to be neglected, if its performance is possible.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“O world, world! thus is the poor agent despised. O traitors and bawds, how earnestly are you set a-work, and how ill requited! Why should our endeavour be so loved, and the performance so loathed?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
