When repeatedly searching on a Depth-First or Breath-First Search fashion, some nodes are visited many times, as every search requires to start at the root. By providing a way to arrange the data in a different manner and using a hash table as the primary data structure, it is possible to get average lookup times of a path, from the root to any node in constant time, although a disadvantage arises when looking at the memory needs of the approach. We propose a structure called H-Tree created to reduce the time to extract a path from a rooted tree.
Index Terms:
Rooted tree, Huffman coding, path retrieval, hash table, depth-first search.
