AVL Trees with Relaxed Balance.

Kim S. Larsen.
Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 61(3): 508-522, 2000.

The idea of relaxed balance is to uncouple the rebalancing in search trees from the updating in order to speed up request processing in main-memory databases. In this paper, we describe a relaxed version of AVL trees. We prove that each update gives rise to at most a logarithmic number of rebalancing operations, and that the number of rebalancing operations in the semi-dynamic case is amortized constant.

The same as the publisher's version, when the publisher permits. Otherwise, the author's last version before the publisher's copyright; this is often exactly the same, but sometimes fonts, page numbers, figure numbers, etc. are different. It may also be a full version. However, it is safe to read this version, and at the same time cite the official version, as long as references to concrete locations, numbered theorems, etc. inside the article are avoided.
