The simulated link strategy for representing trees, particularly binary trees, in arrays allows for contiguous allocation of array positions regardless of the completeness of the tree. This means that even if the tree is not complete (i.e., not all levels of the tree are fully filled), the strategy can still allocate positions for all nodes in a contiguous block of memory. This is in contrast to the actual physical links in a linked representation, where the physical layout of nodes does not need to be contiguous and can vary widely depending on the tree's structure.
