Advanced Data Structures - Lecture Notes

Abstract:
This document provides an in-depth overview of advanced data structures, covering theoretical concepts,

1. Introduction
• Data structures are fundamental components for efficient algorithms.
• Advanced structures extend basic lists and arrays to optimize specific operations.
• This lecture focuses on trees, graphs, hash tables, and heaps.
2. Trees
2.1 Binary Search Trees (BST)
– Each node has at most two children (left and right).
– Left subtree values are less than the node; right subtree values are greater.
– Average operations: search, insert, delete in O(log n) time.

2.2 Balanced Trees (AVL, Red-Black)


– AVL trees maintain height balance factor at each node.
– Red-Black trees use color properties to ensure balance.
– Guarantee O(log n) worst-case time for operations.

3. Graphs
3.1 Representations
– Adjacency Matrix: O(V^2) space, fast edge lookup.
– Adjacency List: O(V + E) space, efficient for sparse graphs.

3.2 Traversal Algorithms


– Breadth-First Search (BFS): level-order, O(V + E).
– Depth-First Search (DFS): backtracking, O(V + E).
4. Hash Tables
• Use hash functions to map keys to buckets.
• Handle collisions via chaining or open addressing.
• Average O(1) search, insert, delete; worst-case O(n).

5. Heaps
• Binary Heap as priority queue: insert and extract-min in O(log n).
• Support for heapify operation in O(n).
• Used in algorithms like Dijkstra's and HeapSort.

6. Performance Analysis
• Time Complexity summary for all structures.
• Space trade-offs and practical considerations.
• Choosing the right structure for specific problems.
