Abstract

We present a method that maintains a balanced binary search tree without using any tree balance criterion at all, with the ultimate aim of maximum simplicity. In fact, our method is highly intuitive, and we only need to add minimal extra code and a simple partial-rebuilding algorithm to a naive binary search tree. Our method will be suitable as a highly simple and short solution when amortized logarithmic costs are enough.
