Chapter 16 — Amortized Analysis

This is the canonical CLRS fourth-edition chapter guide during the migration period.

Current source

Sections 16.1--16.4 are native fourth-edition sections (the aggregate, accounting, and potential-method framework; the stack and counter examples; and the dynamic-tables development), imported directly from Section 16.1, Section 16.2, and Section 16.4. Declarations retain the legacy CLRS.Chapter17 namespace during the compatibility period; the third-edition-numbered imports CLRSLean.Chapter_17 and CLRSLean.Chapter_17.Section_17_* forward to these sources.

Implementation details

The supporting implementation pages remain available outside the main sidebar:

Coverage boundary

The native sections supply the fourth-edition amortized-analysis facade (§16.1 aggregate analysis, §16.2 the accounting method, §16.3 the potential method, §16.4 dynamic tables). §16.4 includes the sharper load-factor potential with constant ≤ 3 insert/delete amortized bounds and the interleaved insert/delete trace amortized analysis (≤ 3n total cost from the empty table). The namespace migration CLRS.Chapter17CLRS.Chapter16 is tracked chapter by chapter.

See docs/clrs-fourth-edition-map.csv for the section-level mapping and docs/migrations/clrs4.md for compatibility and deprecation policy.
