As computer architectures continue to evolve, data structures which were once considered well suited for one task may shift to become more applicable for a different task. One example of this is the family of balanced search tree's known as B-Trees. B-
In my previous post I went over one possible scheme for an Object structure suitable for implementing dynamic typing in an interpreter. Tha
The Skip List, introduced in 1990 by Pugh[1] is an interesting data structure. Skip lists came in to being as an evolution of the humble linked list. Indeed, skip lists have been described as "linked lists with a fast lane", which is certainly true, bu
The 1978 paper "A Dichromatic Framework for Balanced Trees" by Guibas and Sedgewick[1] in which the authors introduced red/black trees to the world, they discuss algorithms for bottom up 2-3 tree's, bottom up 2-3-4 tree's, and bottom up AVL tree's usin
Well, It appears January is the month of the Red/Black tree, because here I am with yet more Red/Black tree content! Since their introduction in 1978[1] the study of red/black trees generally focused on their isomorphism with 2-3-4 trees. And, while it
