  2. Outline • Definitions. • Reduction from LCA to RMQ. • Trivial Solutions for RMQ • Faster solution for sub-problem of RMQ. • Solution for general RMQ.

  3. LCA - Lowest Common Ancestor LCAT(u,v) The LCA of nodes u and v in a tree T is the shared ancestor of u and v that is located farthest from the root. v u

  4. RMQ - Range Minimum Query RMQA(i,j) For indices i and j between 1 and n, query RMQA(i,j) returns the index of the smallest element in the sub array A[i…j]. A[8] A[0] A[1] A[2] A[3] A[4] A[5] A[6] A[7] A[9] 0 1 2 34 7 19 10 12 13 16 RMQA(3,7) = 4

  6. LCA - Trivial Algorithm • For each pair of vertices, follow both paths toward the root until the first shared vertex is found. Complexity =

  7. Reduction From LCA to RMQ • If there is an -time solution for RMQ, then there is an -time solution for LCA. • The reduction - We build three array from the input tree T. 1. E[1,…,2n-1] stores the nodes visited in an Euler Tour of T. 2. L[1,…,2n-1], where L[i] is the level of E[i] in T. 3. R[1,…,n], where R[i] is the index of the first occurrence of the node i in the array E.

  8. Example 0 1 4 5 6 7 9 2 3 8 E: 0 1 2 1 3 1 0 4 0 5 6 5 7 8 7 5 9 5 0 L: 0 1 2 1 2 1 0 1 0 1 2 1 2 3 2 1 2 1 0 R: 0 1 2 4 7 9 10 12 13 16

  9. Computing LCAT(u,v) • The nodes in the Euler Tour between the first visits to u and to v are E[R[u],…,R[v]]. • The shallowest node is at index RMQL(R[u],R[v]). • The node E[RMQL(R[u],R[v])] is LCAT(u,v).

  10. Example - LCAT(6,9) 0 1 4 5 6 7 9 2 3 8 E[10,…,16] E: 0 1 2 1 3 1 0 4 0 5 6 5 7 8 7 5 9 5 0 L: 0 1 2 1 2 1 0 1 0 1 2 1 2 3 2 1 2 1 0 R: 0 1 2 4 7 9 10 12 13 16 RMQL(10,16) = 11 LCAT(6,9) = E[11]=5 R[6] R[9]

  12. Naive Solutions for RMQ • From now on, we will focus on the RMQ problem. • Computing the RMQ for every pair of indices - • Trivial dynamic programming -

  14. ST Algorithm for RMQ Cont. Arbitrary RMQ(i,j) Query • Time: O(1). • ST Algorithm Complexity: j i 2kelements an a1 ... ... 2kelements

  15. RMQ Solution A’[2n/logn] A’[0] A’[i] A’: block min value … ... B[2n/logn] B[0] B[i] B : block min index … ... ... ... ... ... ... A

  16. RMQ Solution Cont. • Size(A’) = 2n / logn. • ST_Preprocessing(A’) • ST(A’)=

  17. RMQ Solution Cont. Arbitrary RMQ(i,j) Query • We should compute the following values: 1. The minimum from i to the end of its block. 2. The minimum of all the blocks in between i’s block and j’s block. 3. The minimum from the beginning of j’s block to j. A[j] A[i] ... 1 2 3

  18. RMQ Solution Cont. ST Preprocessing of a block Per Block All Blocks A[j] A[i] ... 1 2 3
