Abstract

This is a survey on randomized data structures. I discuss here how randomization helps the design of efficient data structures, with guarantees for expected performance. I will describe the skip lists by W. Pugh and the randomized BSTs by S. Roura and myself, their algorithms and their analysis - which, indeed, must be probabilistic.
