Title
A tight lower bound for top-down skew heaps
Abstract
Previously, it was shown in a paper by Kaldewaij and Schoenmakers that for topdownskew heaps the amortized number of comparisons required for meld and delmin isupper bounded by log OE n, where n is the total size of the inputs to these operations andOE = (p5+1)=2 denotes the golden ratio. In this paper we present worst-case sequences ofoperations on top-down skew heaps in which each application of meld and delmin requiresapproximately log OE n comparisons. As the remaining heap...
