....search engines, and reliability ratings for internet sites. ffl The core of job schedulers in operating systems for thread or process management, and event schedulers in production and simulation applications are priority queues. Heaps are ideally suited to implement sequential priority queues [33]. A heap is a binary tree with the property that the values stored at any node are always greater than or equal to values stored at both child nodes (if they exist) All levels, except the last, are completely filled. Several parallel priority queues, such as calendar queues, have been proposed ....

Also, the keys can be suitable permuted for obtaining the heap of Williams and Floyd (1964) thus permitting to identify the current maximum key in constant time and supporting insertions and deletions of individual keys in O(log n) time [26, 10]. Indeed, sorted arrays and heaps are well known examples of dictionaries.

....model, in order to sort and array of n elements, an algorithm must perform at least n log n n log e comparisons in the worst case. For the number of moves the lower bound in the worst case is #3 2n# [MR96] An in place algorithm uses O(1) auxiliary memory cells. The well known Heapsort [Wil64] was the first in place sorting algorithm performing O(n log n) comparisons in the worst case. The number of element moves is O(n log n) and so it is not optimal. On the other hand, the classical selection sort and the algorithm of Munro and Raman [MR92] are in place and perform O(n) data moves ....

Every node other than the root satisfies that its key is greater than or equal to the key at its parent. Heap ordered trees have been widely studied and are the basic structure of many priority queues [156, 42, 150, 44]. In this section we utilize heap ordered trees to construct two data structures, the heap tree and the colored heap tree, that are useful in our application of finding pairs with lower bounded gap but might also have applications elsewhere.

Delete(Q; e) Deletes element e from priority queue Q provided that it is known where e is stored in Q (priority queues do not support the searching for an element) The implementation of priority queues is a classical problem in data structures.

In the amortised sense, 11] the best performance is achieved by binomial heaps [12] They support Delete and DeleteMin in amortised time O(log n) and all other operations in amortised constant time.

The standard heap described by Williams [18] can be modified to use fingers by adding a dictionary that stores the position in the heap for each element. The heap solution (heap in Table 1) even works if the maximum duration is unbounded and it only needs O(N) space. The model used is the pointer machine model [11] Van Emde Boas et al. ....

....queue abstract data type in the heap data structure. One way to present the heap sort algorithm is to show that we can construct a heap storing n keys (or keyelement pairs) in O(n log n) time by means of n successive insertion operations, each taking O(log n) time, starting from an empty heap [14]. However, if all the keys to be stored in the heap are known in advance, there is an alternative bottom up construction method, which runs in O(n) time [6] This is a more efficient construction algorithm that can be included as one of the constructors in a Heap class. Bottom up heap ....

....order of the tasks on the various priority queues remains unchanged. Therefore, a priority queue data structure that allows the actual key values to change relative to one another without requiring the data structure to be updated is most appropriate for dynamic priority scheduling, e.g. a heap [40]. While such a data structure may resolve the priority queue synchronization problem, it does not address the problem that the task priority values may be continually changing. One scheme to solve the shifting priorities problem is to assign priority values that do not need to change when new ....
