My English is poor as a Chinese...
A few days ago I post an idea at a Chinese Online Judge named Luogu.This is my first idea created by myself to solve RMQ problem. Unfortunately it's Chinese.The basic idea is divide the array into $$$n^\frac{4}{7}$$$ part,each part has a length of $$$n^\frac{3}{7}$$$.We name it as a "big block".Then we divide each block into $$$n^\frac{2}{7}$$$ part,each part has a length of $$$n^\frac{1}{7}$$$.Thus it can has a time complexity of $$$O(n^\frac{7}{8})$$$.It is quicker than ST Table both in theory and practice.
And then I create second idea.AWAK there is a algo called Four Russian.It can solve RMQ problem at a time complexity $$$O(n\log\log n)$$$.We found when we finish initialization,we are actually solve an RMQ problem but a smaller scale.Then we use Four Russian to this smaller RMQ problem,and then our time complexity become $$$O(n\log\log\log n)$$$.And we do it again while $$$n\neq 1$$$,it can do it in a time complexity of $$$O(n\log^*n)$$$.
