{{Heap Running Times}} provides time complexity information for operations across different types of heaps.

Usage

edit
{{Heap Running Times |mode = min}}

where

mode
optional parameter. If present and set to "max", present information for max heap; otherwise present for min heap

Examples

edit

Here are time complexities[1] of various heap data structures. The abbreviation am. indicates that the given complexity is amortized, otherwise it is a worst-case complexity. For the meaning of "O(f)" and "Θ(f)" see Big O notation. Names of operations assume a min-heap.

  1. ^ make-heap is the operation of building a heap from a sequence of n unsorted elements. It can be done in Θ(n) time whenever meld runs in O(log n) time (where both complexities can be amortized).[2][3] Another algorithm achieves Θ(n) for binary heaps.[4]
  2. ^ a b c For persistent heaps (not supporting decrease-key), a generic transformation reduces the cost of meld to that of insert, while the new cost of delete-min is the sum of the old costs of delete-min and meld.[7] Here, it makes meld run in Θ(1) time (amortized, if the cost of insert is) while delete-min still runs in O(log n). Applied to skew binomial heaps, it yields Brodal-Okasaki queues, persistent heaps with optimal worst-case complexities.[6]
  3. ^ Lower bound of [10] upper bound of [11]
  4. ^ a b Brodal queues and strict Fibonacci heaps achieve optimal worst-case complexities for heaps. They were first described as imperative data structures. The Brodal-Okasaki queue is a persistent data structure achieving the same optimum, except that decrease-key is not supported.
