A new idea to solve RMQ problem

Revision en4, by FeS2_qwq, 2024-08-16 09:42:29

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 $$$O(n\log^*n)$$$.This can be called Sqrt Tree Set Four Russia(I like to call it as Log Tree)

This is a very outstanding algorithm but it's not enough.To improve it,we can set up many data structure and the .We set $$$T(m,n)$$$ to be the complexity of the $$$m$$$-layer data structure.We build a Sqrt Tree with $$$B=T(m-1,n)$$$ and let it be the $$$m$$$-layer data structure.Between block and block we use the $$$m-1$$$-layer data structure to solve the problem and in a block we use next layer of this data structure,then,as Base Four Russian Multiple Sqrt Tree(BFRMST) I called,finish.

FeS2_qwq independently invented this algorithm.

hegm made suggestions for improvement.

Lumos_QwQ and zhaoyuebo tested the theoretical correctness of this algorithm.

ZM____ML and wjh2022 coding for it.

wang_freedom and zh1221_qwq provide some stronger datas.

You can find the algo Sqrt Tree on here.
