| Abstract | We show how to support the finger search operation on degree-balanced search trees in a space-efficient manner that retains a worst-case time bound of O(log d), where d is the difference in rank between successive search targets. While most existing tree-based designs allocate linear extra storage in the nodes (e.g., for side links and parent pointers), our design maintains a compact auxiliary data structure called the "hand" during the lifetime of the tree and imposes no other storage requirement within the tree.The hand requires O(log n) space for an n-node tree and has a relatively simple structure. It can be updated synchronously during insertions and deletions with time proportional to the number of structural changes in the tree. The auxiliary nature of the hand also makes it possible to introduce finger searches into any existing implementation without modifying the underlying data representation (e.g., any implementation of Red-Black trees can be used). Together these factors make finger searches more appealing in practice.Our design also yields a simple yet optimal in-order walk algorithm with worst-case O(1) work per increment (again without any extra storage requirement in the nodes), and we believe our algorithm can be used in database applications when the overall performance is very sensitive to retrieval latency. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
