It turns out that there are some special situations where a

if anyone knows the proper name for these type of trees and of

algorithms for them.

I call them search trees. The most common form in computer science is
balanced search trees, where the maximum depth is O(log n). In natural
science, you can often accelerate computations by not balancing the tree.

An example of this is given at the end of chapter 3 of OCaml for Scientists.
