Summary of Running Times
| Common Operations | Effect | Unsorted Linked List | Self-balancing binary search tree | Binary heap | Binomial heap | Fibonacci heap | Brodal queue | Pairing heap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| insert(data,key) | Adds data to the queue, tagged with key | O(1) | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(1) | O(1) | O(1) |
| findMin -> key,data | Returns key,data corresponding to min-value key | O(n) | O(log n) or O(1) (**) | O(1) | O(log n) | O(1) | O(1) | O(1) |
| deleteMin | Deletes data corresponding to min-value key | O(n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n)* | O(log n) | O(log n)* |
| delete(node) | Deletes data corresponding to given key, given a pointer to the node being deleted | O(1) | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n)* | O(log n) | O(log n)* |
| decreaseKey(node) | Decreases the key of a node, given a pointer to the node being modified | O(1) | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(1)* | O(1) | Unknown but bounded: * |
| merge(heap1,heap2) -> heap3 | Merges two heaps into a third | O(1) | O(m log(n+m)) | O(m + n) | O(log n)*** | O(1) | O(1) | O(1) |
(*)Amortized time
(**)With trivial modification to store an additional pointer to the minimum element
(***)Where n is the size of the larger heap

Famous quotes containing the words summary, running and/or times:
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
““Would you—be good enough—” Alice panted out, after running a little further, “to stop a minute—just to get—one’s breath again?”
“I’m good enough,” the King said, “only I’m not strong enough. You see, a minute goes by so fearfully quick. You might as well try to stop a Bandersnatch!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Times of heroism are generally times of terror, but the day never shines in which this element may not work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
