Chapter 14 Red–Black Trees and Splay Trees | 14.37
Splay trees do not require balance or height information and hence are easier to implement. Splay trees are
cheaper to AVL trees over long sequences of retrievals. is is shown using the techniques of amortized analy-
sis. It is an analysis over a sequence of operations, among them the expensive operations are averaged over less
expensive operations. If O(n) is the time complexity of one access then for the sequence of m operations the
amortized analysis of access in a splay tree is O(m·log n).
14.4.1 SPLAY ROTATIONS
All the operations performed on a splay tree are the same as that of on a ...
