Download or read book Evolution of Random Search Trees written by Hosam M. Mahmoud and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1992 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While several excellent books have been written on algorithms and their analysis, remarkably few have been dedicated to the probabilistic analysis of algorithms. This graduate text/professional reference fills that gap and brings together material that is scattered over tens of publications. Its unifying theme is the study of some classes of random search trees suitable for use as data structures with a behavior of random growth that is almost as good as balanced trees.
