Deletion from a B+ Tree

Deleting an element on a B+ tree consists of three main events: searching the node where the key to be deleted exists, deleting the key and balancing the tree if required. Underflow is a situation when there is less number of keys in a node than the minimum number of keys it should hold.


Deletion Operation

Before going through the steps below, one must know these facts about a B+ tree of degree m.

  1. A node can have a maximum of m children. (i.e. 3)
  2. A node can contain a maximum of m - 1 keys. (i.e. 2)
  3. A node should have a minimum of ⌈m/2⌉ children. (i.e. 2)
  4. A node (except root node) should contain a minimum of ⌈m/2⌉ - 1 keys. (i.e. 1)

While deleting a key, we have to take care of the keys present in the internal nodes (i.e. indexes) as well because the values are redundant in a B+ tree. Search the key to be deleted then follow the following steps.

Case I

The key to be deleted is present only at the leaf node not in the indexes (or internal nodes). There are two cases for it:

  1. There is more than the minimum number of keys in the node. Simply delete the key.
    Delete a key from a B+tree
    Deleting 40 from B-tree
  2. There is an exact minimum number of keys in the node. Delete the key and borrow a key from the immediate sibling. Add the median key of the sibling node to the parent.
    Delete a key from a B+tree
    Deleting 5 from B-tree

Case II

The key to be deleted is present in the internal nodes as well. Then we have to remove them from the internal nodes as well. There are the following cases for this situation.

  1. If there is more than the minimum number of keys in the node, simply delete the key from the leaf node and delete the key from the internal node as well.
    Fill the empty space in the internal node with the inorder successor.
    Delete a key from a B+tree
    Deleting 45 from B-tree
  2. If there is an exact minimum number of keys in the node, then delete the key and borrow a key from its immediate sibling (through the parent).
    Fill the empty space created in the index (internal node) with the borrowed key.
    Delete a key from a B+tree
    Deleting 35 from B-tree
  3. This case is similar to Case II(1) but here, empty space is generated above the immediate parent node.
    After deleting the key, merge the empty space with its sibling.
    Fill the empty space in the grandparent node with the inorder successor.
    Delete a key from a B+tree
    Deleting 25 from B-tree

Case III

In this case, the height of the tree gets shrinked. It is a little complicated.Deleting 55 from the tree below leads to this condition. It can be understood in the illustrations below.

Deletion Complexity

Time complexity: Θ(t.logt n)

The complexity is dominated by Θ(logt n).

Short description
In this tutorial, you will learn about deletion operation on a B+ tree. Also, you will find working examples of deleting elements from a B+ tree in C, C++, Java and Python.
Algorithm type

Insertion on a B+ Tree

Inserting an element into a B+ tree consists of three main events: searching the appropriate leaf, inserting the element and balancing/splitting the tree.

Let us understand these events below.


Insertion Operation

Before inserting an element into a B+ tree, these properties must be kept in mind.

  • The root has at least two children.
  • Each node except root can have a maximum of m children and at least m/2 children.
  • Each node can contain a maximum of m - 1 keys and a minimum of ⌈m/2⌉ - 1 keys.

The following steps are followed for inserting an element.

  1. Since every element is inserted into the leaf node, go to the appropriate leaf node.
  2. Insert the key into the leaf node.

Case I

  1. If the leaf is not full, insert the key into the leaf node in increasing order.

Case II

  1. If the leaf is full, insert the key into the leaf node in increasing order and balance the tree in the following way.
  2. Break the node at m/2th position.
  3. Add m/2th key to the parent node as well.
  4. If the parent node is already full, follow steps 2 to 3.

Insertion Example

Let us understand the insertion operation with the illustrations below.

The elements to be inserted are 5,15, 25, 35, 45.

  1. Insert 5.
    Insert 5
    Insert 5
  2. Insert 15.
    Insert 15
    Insert 15
  3. Insert 25.
    Insert 25
    Insert 25
  4. Insert 35.
    Insert 35
    Insert 35
  5. Insert 45.
    Insert 45
    Insert 45

Insertion Complexity

Time complexity: Θ(t.logt n)

The complexity is dominated by Θ(logt n).

Short description
In this tutorial, you will learn about insertion operation on a B+ tree. Also, you will find working examples of inserting elements on a B+ tree in C, C++, Java and Python.
Algorithm type

B+ Tree

A B+ tree is an advanced form of a self-balancing tree in which all the values are present in the leaf level.

An important concept to be understood before learning B+ tree is multilevel indexing. In multilevel indexing, the index of indices is created as in figure below. It makes accessing the data easier and faster.

Properties of a B+ Tree

  1. All leaves are at the same level.
  2. The root has at least two children.
  3. Each node except root can have a maximum of m children and at least m/2 children.
  4. Each node can contain a maximum of m - 1 keys and a minimum of ⌈m/2⌉ - 1 keys.

Comparison between a B-tree and a B+ Tree

The data pointers are present only at the leaf nodes on a B+ tree whereas the data pointers are present in the internal, leaf or root nodes on a B-tree.

The leaves are not connected with each other on a B-tree whereas they are connected on a B+ tree.

Operations on a B+ tree are faster than on a B-tree.


The following steps are followed to search for data in a B+ Tree of order m. Let the data to be searched be k.

  1. Start from the root node. Compare k with the keys at the root node [k1, k2, k3,......km - 1.
  2. If k < k1, go to the left child of the root node.
  3. Else if k == k1, compare k2. If k < k2, k lies between k1 and k2. So, search in the left child of k2.
  4. If k > k2, go for k3, k4,...km-1 as in steps 2 and 3.
  5. Repeat the above steps until a leaf node is reached.
  6. If k exists in the leaf node, return true else return false.

Searching Example on a B+ Tree

Let us search k = 45 on the following B+ tree.

B+ tree
B+ tree
  1. Compare k with the root node.
    B+ tree search
    k is not found at the root
  2. Since k > 25, go to the right child.
    B+ tree search
    Go to right of the root
  3. Compare k with 35. Since k > 30, compare k with 45.
    B+ tree search
    k not found
  4. Since k ≥ 45, so go to the right child.
    B+ tree search
    go to the right
  5. k is found.
    B+ tree search
    k is found

Search Complexity

Time Complexity

If linear search is implemented inside a node, then total complexity is Θ(logt n).

If binary search is used, then total complexity is Θ(log2t.logt n).


B+ Tree Applications

  • Multilevel Indexing
  • Faster operations on the tree (insertion, deletion, search)
  • Database indexing
Short description
In this tutorial, you will learn what a B+ tree is. Also, you will find working examples of searching operation on a B+ tree in C, C++, Java and Python.
Algorithm type

Deletion from a B-tree

Deleting an element on a B-tree consists of three main events: searching the node where the key to be deleted exists, deleting the key and balancing the tree if required.

While deleting a tree, a condition called underflow may occur. Underflow occurs when a node contains less than the minimum number of keys it should hold.

The terms to be understood before studying deletion operation are:

  1. Inorder Predecessor
    The largest key on the left child of a node is called its inorder predecessor.
  2. Inorder Successor
    The smallest key on the right child of a node is called its inorder successor.

Deletion Operation

Before going through the steps below, one must know these facts about a B tree of degree m.

  1. A node can have a maximum of m children. (i.e. 3)
  2. A node can contain a maximum of m - 1 keys. (i.e. 2)
  3. A node should have a minimum of ⌈m/2⌉ children. (i.e. 2)
  4. A node (except root node) should contain a minimum of ⌈m/2⌉ - 1 keys. (i.e. 1)

There are three main cases for deletion operation in a B tree.

Case I

The key to be deleted lies in the leaf. There are two cases for it.

  1. The deletion of the key does not violate the property of the minimum number of keys a node should hold.

    In the tree below, deleting 32 does not violate the above properties.
    Delete a key from a B-tree
    Deleting a leaf key (32) from B-tree
  2. The deletion of the key violates the property of the minimum number of keys a node should hold. In this case, we borrow a key from its immediate neighboring sibling node in the order of left to right.

    First, visit the immediate left sibling. If the left sibling node has more than a minimum number of keys, then borrow a key from this node.

    Else, check to borrow from the immediate right sibling node.

    In the tree below, deleting 31 results in the above condition. Let us borrow a key from the left sibling node.
    Delete a key from a B-tree
    Deleting a leaf key (31)
    If both the immediate sibling nodes already have a minimum number of keys, then merge the node with either the left sibling node or the right sibling node. This merging is done through the parent node.

    Deleting 30 results in the above case.
     
    Delete a key from a B-tree
    Delete a leaf key (30)

Case II

If the key to be deleted lies in the internal node, the following cases occur.

  1. The internal node, which is deleted, is replaced by an inorder predecessor if the left child has more than the minimum number of keys.
    Deleting an internal node
    Deleting an internal node (33)
  2. The internal node, which is deleted, is replaced by an inorder successor if the right child has more than the minimum number of keys.
  3. If either child has exactly a minimum number of keys then, merge the left and the right children.

    Deleting an internal node (30)
    After merging if the parent node has less than the minimum number of keys then, look for the siblings as in Case I.

Case III

In this case, the height of the tree shrinks. If the target key lies in an internal node, and the deletion of the key leads to a fewer number of keys in the node (i.e. less than the minimum required), then look for the inorder predecessor and the inorder successor. If both the children contain a minimum number of keys then, borrowing cannot take place. This leads to Case II(3) i.e. merging the children.

Again, look for the sibling to borrow a key. But, if the sibling also has only a minimum number of keys then, merge the node with the sibling along with the parent. Arrange the children accordingly (increasing order).

Short description
In this tutorial, you will learn how to delete a key from a b-tree. Also, you will find working examples of deleting keys from a B-tree in C, C++, Java and Python.
Algorithm type

Insertion into a B-tree

Inserting an element on a B-tree consists of two events: searching the appropriate node to insert the element and splitting the node if required.Insertion operation always takes place in the bottom-up approach.

Let us understand these events below.


Insertion Operation

  1. If the tree is empty, allocate a root node and insert the key.
  2. Update the allowed number of keys in the node.
  3. Search the appropriate node for insertion.
  4. If the node is full, follow the steps below.
  5. Insert the elements in increasing order.
  6. Now, there are elements greater than its limit. So, split at the median.
  7. Push the median key upwards and make the left keys as a left child and the right keys as a right child.
  8. If the node is not full, follow the steps below.
  9. Insert the node in increasing order.

Insertion Example

Let us understand the insertion operation with the illustrations below.

The elements to be inserted are 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 20, 17.

Short description
In this tutorial, you will learn how to insert a key into a btree. Also, you will find working examples of inserting keys into a B-tree in C, C++, Java and Python.
Algorithm type

B-tree

B-tree is a special type of self-balancing search tree in which each node can contain more than one key and can have more than two children. It is a generalized form of the binary search tree.

It is also known as a height-balanced m-way tree.

B-tree example
B-tree

Why do you need a B-tree data structure?

The need for B-tree arose with the rise in the need for lesser time in accessing physical storage media like a hard disk. The secondary storage devices are slower with a larger capacity. There was a need for such types of data structures that minimize the disk access.

Other data structures such as a binary search tree, avl tree, red-black tree, etc can store only one key in one node. If you have to store a large number of keys, then the height of such trees becomes very large, and the access time increases.

However, B-tree can store many keys in a single node and can have multiple child nodes. This decreases the height significantly allowing faster disk accesses.


B-tree Properties

  1. For each node x, the keys are stored in increasing order.
  2. In each node, there is a boolean value x.leaf which is true if x is a leaf.
  3. If n is the order of the tree, each internal node can contain at most n - 1 keys along with a pointer to each child.
  4. Each node except root can have at most n children and at least n/2 children.
  5. All leaves have the same depth (i.e. height-h of the tree).
  6. The root has at least 2 children and contains a minimum of 1 key.
  7. If n ≥ 1, then for any n-key B-tree of height h and minimum degree t ≥ 2, h ≥ logt (n+1)/2.

Operations on a B-tree

Searching an element in a B-tree

Searching for an element in a B-tree is the generalized form of searching an element in a Binary Search Tree. The following steps are followed.

  1. Starting from the root node, compare k with the first key of the node.
    If k = the first key of the node, return the node and the index.
  2. If k.leaf = true, return NULL (i.e. not found).
  3. If k < the first key of the root node, search the left child of this key recursively.
  4. If there is more than one key in the current node and k > the first key, compare k with the next key in the node.
    If k < next key, search the left child of this key (ie. k lies in between the first and the second keys).
    Else, search the right child of the key.
  5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until the leaf is reached.

Searching Example

  1. Let us search key k = 17 in the tree below of degree 3.
    B-tree
    B-tree
  2. k is not found in the root so, compare it with the root key.
    Not found on the root node
    k is not found on the root node
  3. Since k > 11, go to the right child of the root node.
    Go to the right subtree
    Go to the right subtree
  4. Compare k with 16. Since k > 16, compare k with the next key 18.
    Compare with the keys from left to right
    Compare with the keys from left to right
  5. Since k < 18, k lies between 16 and 18. Search in the right child of 16 or the left child of 18.
    k lies in between 16 and 18
    k lies in between 16 and 18
  6. k is found.
    k is found
    k is found

Algorithm for Searching an Element

BtreeSearch(x, k)
 i = 1
 while i ≤ n[x] and k ≥ keyi[x]        // n[x] means number of keys in x node
    do i = i + 1
if i  n[x] and k = keyi[x]
    then return (x, i)
if leaf [x]
    then return NIL
else
    return BtreeSearch(ci[x], k)

Balanced Binary Tree

A balanced binary tree, also referred to as a height-balanced binary tree, is defined as a binary tree in which the height of the left and right subtree of any node differ by not more than 1.

To learn more about the height of a tree/node, visit Tree Data Structure. Following are the conditions for a height-balanced binary tree:

  1. difference between the left and the right subtree for any node is not more than one
  2. the left subtree is balanced
  3. the right subtree is balanced

Complete Binary Tree

A complete binary tree is a binary tree in which all the levels are completely filled except possibly the lowest one, which is filled from the left.

A complete binary tree is just like a full binary tree, but with two major differences

  1. All the leaf elements must lean towards the left.
  2. The last leaf element might not have a right sibling i.e. a complete binary tree doesn't have to be a full binary tree.

How a Complete Binary Tree is Created?

  1. Select the first element of the list to be the root node. (no. of elements on level-I: 1)
    Complete binary tree creation
    Select the first element as root
  2. Put the second element as a left child of the root node and the third element as the right child. (no. of elements on level-II: 2)
    Complete binary tree creation
    12 as a left child and 9 as a right child
  3. Put the next two elements as children of the left node of the second level. Again, put the next two elements as children of the right node of the second level (no. of elements on level-III: 4) elements).
  4. Keep repeating until you reach the last element.

Relationship between array indexes and tree element

A complete binary tree has an interesting property that we can use to find the children and parents of any node.

If the index of any element in the array is i, the element in the index 2i+1 will become the left child and element in 2i+2 index will become the right child. Also, the parent of any element at index i is given by the lower bound of (i-1)/2.

Let's test it out,

Left child of 1 (index 0)
= element in (2*0+1) index 
= element in 1 index 
= 12


Right child of 1
= element in (2*0+2) index
= element in 2 index 
= 9

Similarly,
Left child of 12 (index 1)
= element in (2*1+1) index
= element in 3 index
= 5

Right child of 12
= element in (2*1+2) index
= element in 4 index
= 6

Let us also confirm that the rules hold for finding parent of any node

Parent of 9 (position 2) 
= (2-1)/2 
= ½ 
= 0.5
~ 0 index 
= 1

Parent of 12 (position 1) 
= (1-1)/2 
= 0 index 
= 1

Understanding this mapping of array indexes to tree positions is critical to understanding how the Heap Data Structure works and how it is used to implement Heap Sort.

Perfect Binary Tree

A perfect binary tree is a type of binary tree in which every internal node has exactly two child nodes and all the leaf nodes are at the same level.

Perfect Binary Tree
Perfect Binary Tree

All the internal nodes have a degree of 2.

Recursively, a perfect binary tree can be defined as:

  1. If a single node has no children, it is a perfect binary tree of height h = 0,
  2. If a node has h > 0, it is a perfect binary tree if both of its subtrees are of height h - 1 and are non-overlapping.

Perfect Binary Tree Theorems

  1. A perfect binary tree of height h has 2h + 1 – 1 node.
  2. A perfect binary tree with n nodes has height log(n + 1) – 1 = Θ(ln(n)).
  3. A perfect binary tree of height h has 2h leaf nodes.
  4. The average depth of a node in a perfect binary tree is Θ(ln(n)).

Full Binary Tree

A full Binary tree is a special type of binary tree in which every parent node/internal node has either two or no children.

It is also known as a proper binary tree.

Full Binary Tree

Full Binary Tree Theorems

Let, i = the number of internal nodes
       n = be the total number of nodes
       l = number of leaves
      λ = number of levels
  1. The number of leaves is i + 1.
  2. The total number of nodes is 2i + 1.
  3. The number of internal nodes is (n – 1) / 2.
  4. The number of leaves is (n + 1) / 2.
  5. The total number of nodes is 2l – 1.
  6. The number of internal nodes is l – 1.
  7. The number of leaves is at most 2λ - 1.
