weight-balanced trees
Weight-balanced trees are a type of binary search tree in which the height of the left and right subtrees differ by at most a constant factor. This balance ensures efficient search and insertion operations, improving overall performance. Weight-balanced trees prioritize balancing based on the total number of nodes in the subtree rather than specific node values, which allows for more flexibility. By maintaining this balance, weight-balanced trees prevent degeneration into linked lists and ensure logarithmic time complexity for essential operations.
