Competitive Online Search Trees on Trees [PDF]

open access: yesACM Transactions on Algorithms, 2020
We consider the design of adaptive data structures for searching elements of a tree-structured space. We use a natural generalization of the rotation-based online binary search tree model in which the underlying search space is the set of vertices of a tree. This model is based on a simple structure for decomposing graphs, previously known
