In [[computer science]], an '''AVL tree''' (Adelson-Velskii and Landis' tree, named after the inventors) is a [[self-balancing binary search tree]]. It was the first such [[data structure]] to be invented.<ref>[[Robert Sedgewick (computer scientist)|Robert Sedgewick]], ''Algorithms'', Addison-Wesley, 1983, ISBN 0-201-06672-6, page 199, chapter 15: Balanced Trees.</ref> In an AVL tree, the [[tree height|heights]] of the two [[child node|child]] subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property. Lookup, insertion, and deletion all take [[big O notation|O]](log ''n'') time in both the average and worst cases, where ''n'' is the number of nodes in the tree prior to the operation. Insertions and deletions may require the tree to be rebalanced by one or more [[tree rotation]]s.
 
The AVL tree is named after its two [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] inventors, [[Georgii Adelson-Velskii|G. M. Adelson-Velskii]] and [[Yevgeniy Landis|E. M. Landis]], who published it in their 1962 paper "An algorithm for the organization of information".<ref>{{cite journal|last=Adelson-Velskii|first=G.|coauthors=E.

Ricci in ''Soviet Math. Doklady'', 3:1259&ndash;1263, 1962.</ref>
 
AVL trees are often compared with [[red-black tree]]s because both support the same set of operations and take [[big O notation|O]](log ''n'') time for the basic operations.  For lookup-intensive applications, AVL trees are faster than red-black trees because they are more rigidly balanced.<ref>{{cite web|last = Pfaff|first = Ben|title = Performance Analysis of BSTs in System Software| publisher = [[Stanford university|Stanford University]]|date=June 2004|url = http://www.stanford.edu/~blp/papers/libavl.pdf|format = PDF}}</ref> Similar to red-black trees, AVL trees are height-balanced. Both are in general not [[Weight-balanced tree|weight-balanced]] nor μ-balanced for any <math>\scriptstyle \mu\leq\tfrac12</math>;<ref>[http://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/421/avl-trees-are-not-weight-balanced AVL trees are not weight-balanced? (meaning: AVL trees are not μ-balanced?)] <br>Thereby: A Binary Tree is called <math>\mu</math>-balanced, with <math>0 \le\mu\leq\tfrac12</math>, if for every node <math>N</math>, the inequality
: <math>\tfrac12-\mu\le\tfrac{|N_l|}{|N|+1}\le \tfrac12+\mu</math>
holds and <math>\mu</math> is minimal with this property. <math>|N|</math> is the number of nodes below the tree with <math>N</math> as root (including the root) and <math>N_l</math> is the left child node of <math>N</math>.</ref> that is, sibling nodes can have hugely differing numbers of descendants.
 
==Operations==
[[File:BinaryTreeRotations.svg|thumb|300px|Tree rotations]]
Basic operations of an AVL tree involve carrying out the same actions as would be carried out on an unbalanced [[binary search tree]], but modifications are followed by zero or more operations called [[tree rotation]]s, which help to restore the height balance of the subtrees.
 
===Searching===
Once a node has been found in a balanced tree, the ''next'' or ''previous'' nodes can be explored in [[amortized complexity|amortized]] constant time. Some instances of exploring these "nearby" nodes require traversing up to 2×log(''n'') links (particularly when moving from the rightmost leaf of the root's left sub tree to the leftmost leaf of the root's right sub tree; in the example AVL tree, moving from node 14 to the ''next but one'' node 19 takes 4 steps). However, exploring all ''n'' nodes of the tree in this manner would use each link exactly twice: one traversal to enter the sub tree rooted at that node, another to leave that node's sub tree after having explored it. And since there are ''n''−1 links in any tree, the amortized cost is found to be 2×(''n''−1)/''n'', or approximately 2.
 
===Insertion===
[[File:AVL Tree Rebalancing.svg|thumb|350px|Pictorial description of how rotations cause rebalancing tree, and then retracing one's steps toward the root updating the balance factor of the nodes. The numbered circles represent the nodes being balanced. The lettered triangles represent subtrees which are themselves balanced BSTs. A blue number next to a node denotes possible balance factors.]]
 
After inserting a node, it is necessary to check each of the node's ancestors for consistency with the rules of AVL. The balance factor is calculated as follows: balanceFactor = height(left subtree) - height(right subtree). For each node checked, if the balance factor remains −1, 0, or +1 then no rotations are necessary. However, if balance factor becomes less than -1 or greater than +1, the subtree rooted at this node is unbalanced. If insertions are performed serially, after each insertion, at most one of the following cases needs to be resolved to restore the entire tree to the rules of AVL.
 
Let us first assume the balance factor a node L is 2 (as opposed to the other possible unbalaced value -2). This case is depicted in the left column of the illustration with L=5. We then look at the left subtree (the larger one) with root P. If this subtree does not lean to the right - i.e. P has balance factor 0 or 1 - we can rotate the whole tree to the right to get a balanced tree. This is labelled as the "Left Left Case" in the illustration with P=4. If the subtree does lean to the right - i.e. P has balance factor -1 - we first rotate the subtree to the left and end up the previous case. The second case is labelled as "Left Right Case" with P=5 in the illustration.
 
If the balance factor of the node L is -2 (this case is depicted in the right column of the illustration L=3) we can mirror the above algorithm. I.e. if the root P of the right subtree has balance factor 0 or 1 we can rotate the whole tree to the left to get a balanced tree. This is labelled as the "Right Right Case" in the illustration with P=4. If the root P of the right subtree has balance factor -1 we can rotate the subtree to the right to end up in the "Right Right Case".
 
The whole algorithm looks like this:
 
  if (balance_factor(L) == 2) { //The left column
    let P=left_child(L)
    if (balance factor(P) == -1) { //The "Left Right Case"
      rotate_left(P) //reduce to "Left Left Case"
    }
    //Left Left Case
    rotate_right(L);
  } else { // balance_factor(L) == -2, the right column
    let P=right_child(L)
    if (balance factor(P) == 1) { //The "Right Left Case"
      rotate_right(P) //reduce to "Right Right Case"
    }
    //Right Right Case
    rotate_left(L);
  }
 
The names of the cases refer to the portion of the tree that is reduced in height.
 
In order to restore the balance factors of all nodes, first observe that all nodes requiring correction lie along the path used during the initial insertion. If the above procedure is applied to nodes along this path, starting from the bottom (i.e. the node furthest away from the root), then every node in the tree will again have a balance factor of -1, 0, or 1.
 
===Deletion===
Let''' node X''' be the node with the value we need to delete, and let''' node Y''' be a node in the tree we need to find to take node X's place, and let '''node Z''' be the actual node we take out of the tree.
 
Steps to consider when deleting a node in an AVL tree are the following:
# If '''node X''' is a leaf or has only one child, skip to step 5. (node Z will be node X)
# Otherwise, determine '''node Y''' by finding the largest node in '''node X'''<nowiki/>'s left sub tree (in-order predecessor) or the smallest in its right sub tree (in-order successor).
# Replace '''node X''' with '''node Y''' (remember, tree structure doesn't change here, only the values). In this step,''' node X''' is essentially deleted when its internal values were overwritten with '''node Y'''<nowiki/>'s.
# Choose '''node Z''' to be the old '''node Y'''.
# Attach '''node Z'''<nowiki/>'s subtree to its parent (if it has a subtree). If '''node Z'''<nowiki/>'s parent is null, update root. (node Z is currently root)
# Delete '''node Z'''.
#  Retrace the path back up the tree (starting with node Z's parent) to the root, adjusting the balance factors as needed.
As with all binary trees, a node's in-order successor is the left-most child of its right subtree, and a node's in-order predecessor is the right-most child of its left subtree. In either case, this node will have zero or one children. Delete it according to one of the two simpler cases above.
[[File:binary search tree delete.svg|thumb|640px|center|Deleting a node with two children from a binary search tree using the inorder predecessor (rightmost node in the left subtree, labelled '''6''').]]
 
In addition to the balancing described above for insertions, if the balance factor for the tree is 2 and that of the left subtree is 0, a right rotation must be performed on P.  The mirror of this case is also necessary.
 
The retracing can stop if the balance factor becomes −1 or +1 indicating that the height of that subtree has remained unchanged.
If the balance factor becomes 0 then the height of the subtree has decreased by one and the retracing needs to continue.
If the balance factor becomes −2 or +2 then the subtree is unbalanced and needs to be rotated to fix it.
If the rotation leaves the subtree's balance factor at 0 then the retracing towards the root must continue since the height of this subtree has decreased by one.
This is in contrast to an insertion where a rotation resulting in a balance factor of 0 indicated that the subtree's height has remained unchanged.
 
The time required is O(log ''n'') for lookup, plus a maximum of O(log ''n'') rotations on the way back to the root, so the operation can be completed in O(log ''n'') time.
 
==Comparison to other structures==
Both AVL trees and red-black trees are self-balancing binary search trees and they are very similar mathematically.<ref>In fact, each AVL tree can be colored red-black.</ref> The operations to balance the trees are different, but both occur on the average in O(1) with maximum in O(log ''n''). The real difference between the two is the limiting height.

No matter what anybody states, whenever struggling to get rid of fat, the body must burn more calories than it takes in. Portion size is regarded as the largest culprits concerning weight reduction and many folks don't wish to be bothered with weighing foods and counting calories.

Train hard to burn fat promptly. That means, getting onto the greatest cardio workout, and best strength training system like Turbulence Training - this might be a combination of High Intensity Interval Training and calorie burn calculator Multi Movement Strength Training to turbo charge a metabolism. Ramping up your exercise intensity is regarded as the greatest ways to get rid of body fat inside no time!

This really is one of my favorite cardiovascular escapades. I like to go cycling in nature plus reap the bike exercise benefits. If you do not have the usual bicycle, then you are able to equally use the stationary cycle at house too. Varying the speed and resistance might assist to heighten intensity of the exercise.

Naturally, you can burn a considerable amount of extra calories training with light weights however, we have to absolutely extend the length calories burned calculator of the kind of training. Curling 5 pound dumbbells for 4 sets of 20 reps plus chit-chatting for 20 minutes inside the gym is not going to burn various extra calories.

You're more probably to stick with your walking routine in the event you merely make it part of the daily routine. Then, with a proper, nutritious diet, you'll also begin losing fat as if by magic. We won't have to be anxious about motivation, since walking is not all that strenuous, plus you'll be satisfied at how better you calories burned calculator feel. As we walk more and notice changes, you'll need to do more or grow the amount of strength of your walks. If you are confident to do more - go for it. Try strolling quicker or, if you're feeling truly confident, we may jog. After which, just the sky's a limit.

Considering this, the answer appears clear: receive oneself outdoors for a 30-minute run six occasions a week, and youll burn an additional 3200 calories a week. If you keep the diet the same, that signifies youll be losing about a pound every week (to get rid of one pound we have to burn 3500 more calories than you take in). Naturally, just starting a running program is easier said than done. If you are overweight or from form, even running a mile could feel impossible.

Walking is still the top form of exercise for fat loss and research supports its several advantages. To be effective for weight loss, beginners should discover a way to cut 300 calories a day from their diet and burn an extra 200 net calories, equal to regarding 4.5 miles of walking a day. That could enable them to well lose 1 pound a week.
