  • This paper studies the empirical behaviour of the p-AVL tree, a probabilistic variant of the AVL tree in which each imbalance is repaired with probability $p$. This gives an exact continuous interpolation from $p = 0$, which recovers the BST endpoint, to $p = 1$, which recovers the standard AVL tree. Across random-order insertion experiments, we track rotations per node, total imbalance events, average depth, average height, and a global imbalance statistic $σ$. The main empirical result is that even small nonzero p already causes a strong structural change. The goal here is empirical rather than fully theoretical: to document the behaviour of the p-AVL family clearly and identify the main patterns.
