A Splay Tree is a self-adjusting binary search tree that optimizes access to frequently used elements by moving them closer to the root through rotations. This results in efficient operations with an amortized time complexity of O(log n).
For a detailed explanation of how Splay Trees work, including the splaying process and its benefits. please go inside the PDF above.
- Efficient Access: Moves frequently accessed elements closer to the root.
- Operations: Search, insert, delete with O(log n) amortized time.
- Ideal For: Scenarios where certain elements are accessed more often.
