Worst-Case Optimal Tree Layout in External Memory
Consider laying out a fixed-topology binary tree of N nodes into external memory with block size B so as to minimize the worst-case number of block memory transfers required to traverse a path from the root to a node of depth D. We prove that the optimal number of memory transfers is Θ([D over lg(1+...
