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:
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
