We consider the problem of maintaining a set of n integers in the range 0.2w–1 under the operations of insertion, deletion, predecessor queries, minimum queries and maximum queries on a unit cost RAM with word size w bits. Let f (n) be an arbitrary nondecreasing smooth function satisfying n \leqslant f(n) \leqslant Ö{log n} Unknown control sequence '\leqslant'. A data structure is presented supporting insertions and deletions in worst case O(f(n)) time, predecessor queries in worst case O((logn)/f(n)) time and minimum and maximum queries in worst case constant time. The required space is O(n2w ) for an arbitrary constant > 0. The RAM operations used are addition, arbitrary left and right bit shifts and bit-wise boolean operations. The data structure is the first supporting predecessor queries in worst case O(log n/log log n) time while having worst case O(log log n) update time.
