Fibonacci heap

In computer science, a Fibonacci heap is a heap data structure consisting of a forest of trees. It has a better amortized running time than a binomial heap. Fibonacci heaps were developed by Michael L. Fredman and Robert E. Tarjan in 1984 and first published in a scientific journal in 1987. The name of Fibonacci heap comes from Fibonacci numbers which are used in the running time analysis. Operations insert, find minimum, decrease key, and merge ... more

  • 2-3 heap

    In computer science, a 2-3 heap is a data structure, a variation on the heap, designed by Tadao Takaoka in 1999. The structure is similar to the Fibonacci heap, and borrows from the 2-3 tree. Time costs for some common heap operations:
  • Soft heap

    In computer science, the soft heap, designed by Bernard Chazelle in 2000, is a variant on the simple heap data structure. By carefully "corrupting" (increasing) the keys of at most a certain fixed percentage of values in the heap, it is able to achieve amortized constant-time bounds for all five of...
  • Binomial heap

    In computer science, a binomial heap is a heap similar to a binary heap but also supports quickly merging two heaps. This is achieved by using a special tree structure. It is important as an implementation of the mergeable heap abstract data type (also called meldable heap), which is a priority...
  • D-ary heap

    The d-ary heap or d-heap is a generalization of the binary heap data structure whose non-leaf nodes have d children, instead of 2. Thus, a binary heap is a 2-heap. According to Jensen et al., d-ary heaps were invented by Johnson in 1975. Because the d-heap is shallower than a binary heap, it has...
