Abstract
A method for obtaining a balanced digital tree structure. The digital tree structure including a first vertical oriented digital tree structure that is susceptible to unbalanced structure of blocks due to modify transactions. The first digital tree including blocks, each, accommodating a plurality of nodes and links originating from the nodes. The method includes the step of constructing few vertical oriented digital tree structure levels. The tress are arranged such that from blocks of a tree in a given level, it is possible to access horizontally all the blocks of the next level, according to a common key value of the accessed block, whereby a balanced horizontal oriented digital tree structure is obtained.
