This paper presents the space complexity analysis of the Binary Tree Roll algorithm. The space complexity is analyzed theoretically and the results are then confirmed empirically. The theoretical analysis consists of determining the amount of memory occupied during the execution of the algorithm and deriving functions of it, in terms of the number of nodes of the tree n, for the worst – and best-case scenarios. The empirical analysis of the space complexity consists of measuring the maximum and minimum amounts of memory occupied during the execution of the algorithm, for all binary tree topologies with the given number of nodes. The space complexity is shown, both theoretically and empirically, to be logarithmic in the best case and linear in the worst case, whereas its average case is shown to be dominantly logarithmic.
The availability of real-time data on the state of railway facilities and the state-of-the art technologies for data collection and analysis allow transition to the fourth generation maintenance. It is based on the prediction of the facility functional safety and dependability and the risk-oriented facility management. The article describes an approach to assessing the risks of hazardous facility failures using the latest digital data processing methods. The implementation of this approach will help set maintenance objectives and contribute to the efficient use of resources and the reduction of railway facility managers’ expenditures.
