Jazz-rock band Soft Heap was formed in January 1978 by four musicians, two of them being ex-members of Soft Machine: indeed, Hugh Hopper and Elton Dean had worked together in Soft Machine, while Alan Gowen and Pip Pyle had worked together in the band National Health.
A simple variant of a priority queue, called a soft heap, is introduced. The data structure supports the usual operations: insert, delete, meld, and findmin. Its novelty is to beat the logarithmic bound on the complexity of a heap in a comparison-based model.

Sep 30, 2014 · The soft heap is almost exclusively of theoretical interest. The reason it's nice in theory is that the runtime of n insertions and n deletions from a soft heap can be O(n) - faster than O(n log n) - if ε is chosen correctly. Originally, soft heaps were used as a building block in a fast algorithm for building minimum spanning trees.
Soft Heap. Jazz-rock band formed in January 1978 by ex members of Soft Machine. "Soft" being an obvious reference to their past band, and "Heap" being the 4 initial letters of the musicians' first name : H ugh, E lton, A lan, and P ip. The band's direction was very jazzy and improvisational.
Chazelle used soft heaps in several applications, including a faster deterministic minimum-spanning-tree algorithm and a new deterministic linear-time selection algorithm. We give a simplified implementation of soft heaps that uses less space and avoids Chazelle's dismantling operations.
