Performance
All of the following operations work in O(log n) time on a binomial heap with n elements:
- Insert a new element to the heap
- Find the element with minimum key
- Delete the element with minimum key from the heap
- Decrease key of a given element
- Delete given element from the heap
- Merge two given heaps to one heap
Finding the element with minimum key can also be done in O(1) by using an additional pointer to the minimum.

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“Just as the performance of the vilest and most wicked deeds requires spirit and talent, so even the greatest demand a certain insensitivity which under other circumstances we would call stupidity.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
