Each deleteMin operation uses 2 logN comparisons in the worst case.

a. Propose a scheme so that the deleteMin operation uses only logN + log logN + O(1) comparisons between elements. This need not imply less data movement.


b. Extend your scheme in part (a) so that only logN + log log logN + O(1) comparisons are performed.


c. How far can you take this idea?


d. Do the savings in comparisons compensate for the increased complexity of your algorithm?
