Compare the running time of both algorithms for sorted, reverse-ordered, and
random inputs.
6.13 Each deleteMin operation uses 2 logN comparisons in the worst case.
a. Propose a scheme so that the deleteMin operation uses only logN + log logN +
O(1) comparisons between elements. This need not imply less data movement.
b. Extend your scheme in part (
a) so that only logN + log log logN + O(1)
comparisons are performed.
c. How far can you take this idea?
d. Do the savings in comparisons compensate for the increased complexity of your algorithm? -
