Abstract

This work is a formalisation of the Randomised Binary Search Trees introduced by Martínez and Roura, including definitions and correctness proofs.

Like randomised treaps, they are a probabilistic data structure that behaves exactly as if elements were inserted into a non-balancing BST in random order. However, unlike treaps, they only use discrete probability distributions, but their use of randomness is more complicated.
