Abstract: Two algorithms for inserting a random element into a random heap are shown to be optimal (in
the sense that they use the least number of comparisons on the average among all comparison-based
algorithms) for di#erent values of n under a uniform model.
Key words. Heaps, Hu#man coding scheme, expectedly optimal algorithms.
