Abstract

Binomial heaps are data structures implemented as a collection of binomial trees, (A binomial tree of order K can be constructed from two trees of order (K-1)). They can implement several methods: Min, Insert, Union, ExtractMin, DecreaseKey and Delete. Fibonacci heaps are similar to binomial heaps,howevere it figured that they had a better performance in what regards the amortized analysis, These methods have a cost of O(1) except for ExtractMin and Delete (O(lg n)) Fibonacci heaps are used to improve the cost of Dijikstra and Prim. We implemented first the algorithms of Binomial and Fibonacci. We then used ExtractMin of fibonacci so as to implement Prim and Dijikstra. We have made a bonus algorithm , Kruskal who is also a "Minimum Spanning Tree" algorithm.

Binomial heap

In computer science, a binomial heap is a data structure that acts as a priority queue but also allows pairs of heaps to be merged. It is important as an implementation of the mergeable heap abstract data type (also called meldable heap), which is a priority queue supporting merge operation. It is implemented as a heap similar to a binary heap but using a special tree structure that is different from the complete binary trees used by binary heaps. Binomial heaps were invented in 1978 by Jean Vuillemin.

Heap (data structure)

In computer science, a heap is a specialized tree-based data structure that satisfies the heap property: In a max heap, for any given node C, if P is a parent node of C, then the key (the value) of P is greater than or equal to the key of C. In a min heap, the key of P is less than or equal to the key of C. The node at the "top" of the heap (with no parents) is called the root node. The heap is one maximally efficient implementation of an abstract data type called a priority queue, and in fact, priority queues are often referred to as "heaps", regardless of how they may be implemented.

Fibonacci heap

In computer science, a Fibonacci heap is a data structure for priority queue operations, consisting of a collection of heap-ordered trees. It has a better amortized running time than many other priority queue data structures including the binary heap and binomial heap. Michael L. Fredman and Robert E. Tarjan developed Fibonacci heaps in 1984 and published them in a scientific journal in 1987. Fibonacci heaps are named after the Fibonacci numbers, which are used in their running time analysis.
