The 1978 paper "A Dichromatic Framework for Balanced Trees" by Guibas and Sedgewick[1] in which the authors introduced red/black trees to the world, they discuss algorithms for bottom up 2-3 tree's, bottom up 2-3-4 tree's, and bottom up AVL tree's usin

Well, It appears January is the month of the Red/Black tree, because here I am with yet more Red/Black tree content! Since their introduction in 1978[1] the study of red/black trees generally focused on their isomorphism with 2-3-4 trees. And, while it

On my shelf I have books by no less than 7 different authors that contain sections on implementing Red/Black Tree's. Almost all of them begin with an introduction to 2-3-4 tree's. In addition, almost all of them detail algorith

Ah tries, the tree structure with a name that nobody can agree on how to pronounce. Oddly spelled name aside, Tries offer a convenient way to implement a collection of strings in a way which supports operations such as finding
