binomial heap

A heap made of a forest of binomial trees with the heap property numbered k=0, 1, 2, ..., n, each containing either 0 or 2k nodes. Each tree is formed by linking two of its predecessors, by joining one at the root of the other. The operations of insert a value, decrease a value, delete a value, and merge or join (meld) two queues take O(log n) time. The find minimum operation is a constant Θ(1).
