Concurrency Control in Database Structures with Relaxed Balance

Summary: Separates rebalancing from updates in balanced search trees (B-trees, AVL) by performing rebalancing via local background processes, yielding relaxed-balance structures. Enables simple concurrency control: only a small constant number of nodes need locks at any time, without extra links or node copies. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
