Abstract

Binary search trees are an important technique for organizing large files, because they are efficient for both random and sequential access of records, and for modification of a file. Because of this, they have received a great deal of attention in recent years, and their properties are now better understood than those of most other file organization methods. This paper surveys the main results which have been obtained.
