| contents | The tango tree is the first proven $O(\lg \lg n)$-competitive binary search tree (BST). We present the first ever experimental implementation of tango trees and compare the running time of the tango tree with the multi-splay tree and the splay tree on a variety of families of access sequences. We construct access sequences that are intended to test specific properties of BSTs. The results of the other experiments demonstrate the optimality of the splay tree and multi-splay tree on these accesses, while simultaneously demonstrating the tango trees inability to achieve optimality. We prove that the running time of tango trees on the sequential access is $Θ(n \lg \lg n)$, which provides insight into why the $Θ(\lg \lg n)$ slow down exists on many access sequences. Motivated by experimental results, we conduct a deeper analysis of the working set access on multi-splay trees, leading to new insights about multi-splay tree behavior. Finally, all of the experiments also reveal insights about large constants and lower order terms in the multi-splay tree, which make it less practical than the splay tree, even though its proven competitive bound is tighter. |
