            <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-ary_heap" target="_top">D-ary heaps</a>
            are a generalization of binary heap with each non-leaf node having N
            children. For a low arity, the height of the heap is larger, but the
            number of comparisons to find the largest child node is bigger. D-ary
            heaps are implemented as container adaptors based on a <code class="literal">std::vector</code>.
          </p>
<p>
            The data structure can be configured as mutable. This is achieved by
            storing the values inside a std::list.

            are node-base heaps, that are implemented as a set of binomial trees
            of piecewise different order. The most important heap operations have
            a worst-case complexity of O(log n). In contrast to d-ary heaps, binomial
            heaps can also be merged in O(log n).

            are node-base heaps, that are implemented as a forest of heap-ordered
            trees. They provide better amortized performance than binomial heaps.
            Except <code class="literal">pop()</code> and <code class="literal">erase()</code>, the most

            are self-adjusting node-based heaps. Although design and implementation
            are rather simple, the complexity analysis is yet unsolved. For details,
