We start by reiterating through commonly used search trees, explaining basic ideas behind their self-balancing and bounding the height in the worst-case scenario. Then we state used terminology and explain the rank-balanced tree. Given a rank-balanced tree, we can delve into the details behind the representation of previously shown self-balancing binary search trees using rank and the WAVL rule gives us a new self-balancing binary search tree. For the WAVL, we provide pseudocode and explain operations used for rebalancing, including diagrams. Later on, we will discuss different heuristics that can be used for rebalancing and implementing the visualization of the operations on the WAVL tree.

This chapter will briefly discuss the properties and fundamental ideas behind the most used self-balancing search trees in standard libraries to give an idea about current options and how WAVL fits among them.
\section{Red-black Trees}
\section{Red-black trees}
As mentioned previously, red-black trees are among the most popular implementations in standard libraries. As always, we have a binary search tree, and then each node is given \textit{red} or \textit{black} colour. A red-black tree is kept balanced by enforcing the following set of rules~\cite{rbtree}:

\chapter{Rank-balanced Trees}
\chapter{Rank-Balanced Trees}
In comparison to nodes in binary search trees, nodes in rank-balanced trees contain one more piece of information, and that is \textit{rank}. Each type of tree that can be implemented using this representation, e.g. red-black, 2-3-4, AVL or WAVL, has a specific set of rules that ensure the resulting tree is balanced.

\section{Height boundaries}
We have described in \autoref{chap:sb-bst} other common self-balanced binary search trees to be able to draw analogies and explain differences between them. Given the boundaries of height for red-black and AVL tree, we can safely assume that the AVL is more strict with regards to the self-balancing than the red-black tree. Let us show how does WAVL fit among them. \textit{Haeupler et al.} present following bounds~\cite{wavl}:

\section{Insertion into the Weak AVL Tree}
\section{Insertion into the weak AVL tree}
Inserting values into WAVL tree is equivalent to inserting values into regular binary-search tree followed up by rebalancing that ensures rank rules hold. This part can be clearly seen in \autoref{algorithm:wavl:insert}. We can also see there two early returns, one of them happens during insertion into the empty tree and other during insertion of duplicate key, which we do not allow.

Here we can see, once again, an interesting pattern. When comparing to the algorithm described above, using the rank representation, we do not need to worry about changing the signs and updating the heights, since by rotating combined with demotion and promotion of the ranks, we are effectively updating the height (represented via rank) of the affected nodes. This observation could be used in \autoref{algorithm:avl:deleteFixNode} and \autoref{algorithm:avl:deleteRotate} where we turned to manual updating of ranks to show the difference.

\section{Testing and Validation}
\section{Testing and validation}
From the beginning we have employed the techniques of property-based testing (done manually during C\# implementation and uses Hypothesis~\cite{hypothesis} for Python implementation). The elementary requirement for testing and validation of implemented algorithms was a \textbf{correct} \texttt{is\_correct\_node} method that validates properties of a specific rank-balanced tree and a good set of invariants. List of set invariants follows:
