An AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree. In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property. Figures 1-4 illus
AVL和红黑树性能对比，有详细的测试数据。AVL和红黑树都是平衡树。

在计算机科学中，AVL树是最先发明的自平衡二叉查找树。在AVL树中任何节点的两个子树的高度最大差别为1，所以它也被称为高度平衡树。增加和删除可能需要通过一次或多次树旋转来重新平衡这个树。AVL树得名于它的发明者G. M. Adelson-Velsky和E. M. Landis，他们在1962年的论文《An algorithm for the organization of information》中发表了它。
