		Robert Tarjan was awarded the ACM's Turing award, computer sciences closest equivalent to the Nobel Prize for his contibutions to the theory of algorithms.
		Until Tarjan used this approach to develop superior algorithms for a number of classical problems, the state of the art had been to limit the resources consumed by each step and bound total complexity by multipying the number of steps by the worst case resource consumption per step.
		Robert Tarjan (the author) has written many papers on efficient graph algorithms, and appears to be a pioneer in applying proofs of efficiency to graph algorithm.

		This paper is inspired by the observation that one can in fact achieve a 1 e ra tio against the best static object in hindsight for a wide range of data structure problems via weighted experts techniques from Machine Learning, if computational decision making costs are not considered.
		Online algorithms for lists have subsequently been well studied, with upper and lower bounds of 1.6 and 1.5 respectively, on the competitive ratio of randomized algorithms for this problem [AvW95, Tei93] The case of trees appears much harder: it is not known whether splay trees or il:....
		Using an amortized analysis, Sleator and Tarjan have shown that splay trees worst case time performance is at least competitive (within a constant factor) with that of any conventional binary tree, for a sufficiently long sequence of inputs.

	Splay tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For many non-uniform sequences of operations, splay trees perform better than other search trees, even when the specific pattern of the sequence is unknown.
		The splay tree was invented by Daniel Sleator and Robert Tarjan.
		In addition to the proven performance guarantees for splay trees there is an unproven conjecture of great interest from the original Sleator and Tarjan paper.
