*i. introduction to fibonacci heaps*

fibonacci heaps are a sophisticated heap data structure renowned for their excellent amortized time complexity, particularly in scenarios involving frequent `decrease-key` operations. they're often used in algorithms like dijkstra's shortest path and prim's minimum spanning tree, where these operations are critical.

*why fibonacci heaps?*

traditional binary heaps (or even d-ary heaps) offer good performance for basic heap operations like `insert`, `minimum`, and `extract-min`. however, their performance degrades when you need to frequently decrease the value of a key already in the heap.

*binary/d-ary heaps:* `insert`, `minimum`: o(1) amortized, `extract-min`: o(log n), `decrease-key`: o(log n)
*fibonacci heaps:* `insert`, `minimum`: o(1) amortized, `extract-min`: o(log n) amortized, `decrease-key`: o(1) amortized

that o(1) amortized `decrease-key` is the key selling point. amortized analysis means that while some operations might take longer than o(1), the average cost over a sequence of operations is o(1).

*key features & concepts*

1. *structure:* fibonacci heaps are a collection of heap-ordered trees. unlike binomial heaps, the trees don't have a rigid structure requirement.

2. *heap-ordered:* for each node, its key is less than or equal to the key of its children. this ensures that the minimum node in the entire heap is always at the root of one of the trees.

3. *minimum pointer:* the heap maintains a pointer (`min`) to the node with the smallest key among all the roots of the trees. this makes finding the minimum element very fast (o(1)).

4. *marking:* each node has a `mark` bit. this is used to track whether a node has lost a child since it last became the child of another node. marking is crucial for t ...
