Example 2.1: Restructuring a Non-Binary Tree by Adding a Single Leaf In this example, we explore a non-binary tree where each node can have up to four children (m = 4), closely mirroring a simplified real-world scenario of Patricia-Merkle trees in the Ethereum blockchain. Let's assume the initial state of the tree is as shown in Figure 11.a, similar to the previous example. Also, let the newly added leaves and their probability distributions follow the pattern established in Example 1. These changes in probabilities are summarized in Table 5, which also lists the number of alternatives and the unique discrepancy value (1). Figures 21-30 depict the corresponding tree graphs. . The calculations of discrepancies in Table 5 show that the configuration of the restructured trees tends towards optimality by minimizing the average path length. Now, let's demonstrate the algorithm's operation in the mode of swapping positions between pairs of nodes, as in Example 1.1.
