Chapter Chapter 12 in Tree Balance Indices, 2023, pp 133-141 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract One of the oldest and most widely applied imbalance indices is (next to the Sackin index) the Colless index, which is defined as the sum of the balance values (absolute differences in the sizes of the subtrees rooted at the two children of an inner vertex) of the inner vertices of a rooted binary tree.
