Detailed Description

template<typename Key, class Compare = Aleph::less<Key>>
struct Aleph::Rand_Tree< Key, Compare >

Randomized binary sarch tree.

This class implements a randomized binary search tree. It is shown that this type of tree always is equivalent to a classic binary search tree built from a random insertion sequence. Consequently, all the operations of this tree are $O(\lg n)$ expected case, independentely of insertion order and of removals are interleaved with insertions.

The principle of this tree is balancing by taking random decisions whose probabilities guarantee that each node will have a chance of $1/n$ for becoming the root of the tree.

In addition, these trees support select() and position() operations. That is, their keys can be accessed according to their inorder position and logarithmic time. This allows to treat the tree as if it was an array.

This tree type is unbeatable when there are splits and and especially joins operations on very large and independent data sets. Other tree types perform the join of independent data sets in $O(n \lg m)$, where $n$ and $m$ are the size of two data sets, while the randomized approach takes $O(\max(\lg n, \lg m))$.

The class internally uses the gsl random number generator of GSL - GNU Scientific Library. By default, the Mersene twister is used and the seed is taken from system time.

Member Function Documentation

◆ find_position()

std::pair<long, Node*> Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::find_position ( const Key &  key)
inlinenoexceptinherited

Find the inorder position of a key in the tree.

find_position(key) determines the inorder position that has or had key in the tree. Themethod return a tuple with a position and a node pointer.

If key is found then its inorder position is returned along with a pointer to the node containing it.

Otherwise, the the tuple returns the position that would have key if this was in the tree and the parent node that the key would had. At this regard, there are three cases:

  1. if key is lesser than the minimum key of tree, then first is -1 and the node is one with the smallest key.
  2. If key is greater than the maximum key in the tree, then first is the number of keys and the node is one with the maximum key in the tree.
  3. For any other case, first is the inorder position that would have key if this was in the tree and second is the node whose key is inmediataly greater than key.
Parameters
[in]keyto be searched
Returns
a pair with the inorder position and and related node

◆ get_compare()

Compare& Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::get_compare ( )
inlinenoexceptinherited

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

◆ insert()

Node* Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::insert ( Node *  p)
inlinenoexceptinherited

Insert a node in the tree

Parameters
[in]ppointer to the node to insert
Returns
if p->get_key() is not in the tree, then the pointer p is returned (it was inserted); othewise, nullptr is returned

◆ insert_dup()

Node* Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::insert_dup ( Node *  p)
inlinenoexceptinherited

Insert a node in the tree.

This method does not fail. It always inserts.

Parameters
[in]ppointer to the node to insert
Returns
the p pointer

◆ join()

void Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::join ( Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode, Key, Compare > &  t,
Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode, Key, Compare > &  dup 
)
inlinenoexceptinherited

Join this with t filtering the duplicated keys

join(t, dup) produces a random tree result of join of this and t. The resulting tree is stored in this.

Nodes containing duplicated keys are inserted in the randomized tree dup. The nodes could belong to any of two trees

Parameters
[in]tramdomized tree to join with this
[out]dupramdomized tree where nodes containing duplicated keys are inserted

◆ join_dup()

void Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::join_dup ( Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode, Key, Compare > &  t)
inlinenoexceptinherited

Join this with t independently of the presence of duplicated keys

join(t) produces a random tree result of join of this and t. The resulting tree is stored in this.

Parameters
[in]tramdomized tree to join with this keys are inserted

◆ join_exclusive()

void Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::join_exclusive ( Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode, Key, Compare > &  t)
inlinenoexceptinherited

Join exclusive of this with t

Exclusive means that all the keys of this are lesser than all the keys of t. This knowlege allows a more effcient way for joining that when the keys ranks are overlapped. However, use very carefully because the algorithm does not perform any check and the result would be incorrect.

Parameters
[in]tramdomized tree to exclusively join with this keys are inserted

◆ position()

std::pair<long, Node*> Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::position ( const Key &  key)
inlinenoexceptinherited

Compute the inorder position of a key

Parameters
[in]keyto be searched
Returns
a tuple with the position of key and a pointer to the node containing it. If key is not in the tree, then first the first value is -1.

◆ remove()

Node* Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::remove ( const Key &  key)
inlinenoexceptinherited

Remove a key from the tree

Parameters
[in]keyto remove
Returns
a valid pointer to the removed node if key was found in the tree, nullptr otherwise

◆ remove_pos()

Node* Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::remove_pos ( const size_t  i)
inlinenoexceptinherited

Remove the key at inorder position i

Parameters
[in]iinorder position to be removed
Returns
a valid pointer to the removed node
Exceptions

◆ search_or_insert()

Node* Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::search_or_insert ( Node *  p)
inlinenoexceptinherited

search_or_insert(p) searches in the tree the key KEY(p). If this key is found, then a pointer to the node containing it is returned. Otherwise, p is inserted.

Parameters
[in]pnode containing a key to be searched and eventually inserted
Returns
if the key contained in p is found, then a pointer to the containing key in the tree is returned. Otherwise, p is inserted and returned

◆ select()

Node* Aleph::Gen_Rand_Tree< RandNode , Key, Compare >::select ( const size_t  i) const
inlineinherited

Return the i-th node in inorder sense

Parameters
