The document discusses operations on heaps and leftist trees. Key points include: - Heaps can be used to implement priority queues, with operations like MAX-HEAPIFY, BUILD-MAX-HEAP, and HEAPSORT taking O(log n) time on average. - Leftist trees are a type of self-balancing binary search tree that supports priority queue operations like insertion and deletion in O(log n) time. - Leftist trees have properties like shortest root-to-leaf paths being O(log n) that allow them to efficiently support priority queue operations through melding of subtrees.
