Abstract

We introduce a new updatable representation of binary trees. The structure requires the information theoretic minimum 2n + &Ogr;(n) bits and supports basic navigational operations in constant time and subtree size in &Ogr;(lg n). In contrast to the linear update costs of previously proposed succinct representations, our representation supports updates in &Ogr;(lg2 n) amortized time.
