Title
Bonsai: a compact representation of trees
Abstract
This paper shows how trees can be stored in a very compact form, called `Bonsai", using hashtables. A method is described that is suitable for large trees that grow monotonically within apredefined maximum size limit. Using it, pointers in any tree can be represented within 6 +log 2 nbits per node where n is the maximum number of children a node can have. We first describe ageneral way of storing trees in hash tables, and then introduce the idea of compact hashing whichunderlies the Bonsai ...
