• Heap-order property– parent’s key is less than

children’s keys

– result: minimum is always at the top

• Structure property– complete tree with fringe

nodes packed to the left

– result: depth is always O(log n); next open location always known

percolateDown(1,

Heap[size+1]);

Heap[newPos] =

Heap[size + 1];

Performance of Binary Heap

• In practice: binary heaps much simpler to code, lower constant factor overhead

Changing Priorities

• In many applications the priority of an object in a priority queue may change over time– if a job has been sitting in the printer queue for a long

time increase its priority– unix “renice”– Alon’s story

• Must have some (separate) way of find the position in the queue of the object to change (e.g. a hash table)

Other Priority Queue Operations

• decreaseKey – given the position of an object in the queue, reduce its priority

value

• increaseKey– given the position of an an object in the queue, increase its priority

value

• remove– given the position of an object in the queue, remove it

• buildHeap– given a set of items, build a heap

DecreaseKey, IncreaseKey, and Remove

void decreaseKey(int pos, int delta){

temp = Heap[pos] - delta;

newPos = percolateUp(pos, temp);

Heap[newPos] = temp;

}

void increaseKey(int pos, int delta) {

temp = Heap[pos] + delta;

newPos = percolateDown(pos, temp);

Heap[newPos] = temp;

}

void remove(int pos) { percolateUp(pos, NEG_INF_VAL); deleteMin();}

Complexity of Build Heap• Note: size of a perfect binary tree doubles (+1)

with each additional layer• At most n/4 percolate down 1 level

at most n/8 percolate down 2 levelsat most n/16 percolate down 3 levels…

Thinking about Heaps

• Observations– finding a child/parent index is a multiply/divide by two

– operations jump widely through the heap

– each operation looks at only two new nodes

– inserts are at least as common as deleteMins

• Realities– division and multiplication by powers of two are fast

– looking at one new piece of data terrible in a cache line

– with huge data sets, disk accesses dominate

Solution: d-Heaps

• Each node has d children• Still representable by array• Good choices for d:

– optimize performance based on # of inserts/removes

– choose a power of two for efficiency

– fit one set of children on a memory page/disk block

What do d-heaps remind us of???

New Operation: Merge

Given two heaps, merge them into one heap– first attempt: insert each element of the smaller heap

into the larger.

runtime:

– second attempt: concatenate heaps’ arrays and run buildHeap.

runtime:

How about O(log n) time?

Now, just percolate down!

Note: we just gave up the nice structural property on binary heaps!

Need some other kind of balance condition…

Leftist Heaps

• Idea:

make it so that all the work you have to do in maintaining a heap is in one small part

• Leftist heap:– almost all nodes are on the left

– all the merging work is on the right

the null path length (npl) of a node is the number of nodes between it and a null in the tree

Random Definition:Null Path Length

• npl(null) = -1• npl(leaf) = 0• npl(single-child node) = 0

Leftist Heap Properties

• Heap-order property– parent’s priority value is to childrens’ priority values

– result: minimum element is at the root

• Leftist property– null path length of left subtree is npl of right subtree

– result: tree is at least as “heavy” on the left as the right

Are leftist trees complete? Balanced?

every subtree of a leftist tree is leftist, comrade!

Right Path in a Leftist Tree is Short• If the right path has length

at least r, the tree has at least 2r - 1 nodes

• Proof by inductionBasis: r = 1. Tree has at least one node: 21 - 1 = 1

Inductive step: assume true for r’ < r. The right subtree has a right path of at least r - 1 nodes, so it has at least 2r - 1 - 1 nodes. The left subtree must also have a right path of at least r - 1 (otherwise, there is a null path of r - 3, less than the right subtree). Again, the left has 2r - 1 - 1 nodes. All told then, there are at least:

2r - 1 - 1 + 2r - 1 - 1 + 1 = 2r - 1

• So, a leftist tree with at least n nodes has a right path of at most log n nodes

Merging Two Leftist Heaps

• merge(T1,T2) returns one leftist heap containing all elements of the two (distinct) leftist heaps T1 and T2

R’ = Merge(R1, T2)

a

R’ L1

npl(R’) > npl(L1)

constant work at each merge; recursively traverse RIGHT right path of each tree; total work = O(log n)

Operations on Leftist Heaps• merge with two trees of total size n: O(log n)• insert with heap size n: O(log n)

– pretend node is a size 1 leftist heap– insert by merging original heap with one node heap

• deleteMin with heap size n: O(log n)– remove and return root– merge left and right subtrees

Skew Heaps• Problems with leftist heaps

– extra storage for npl

– two pass merge (with stack!)

– extra complexity/logic to maintain and check npl

• Solution: skew heaps– blind adjusting version of leftist heaps

– amortized time for merge, insert, and deleteMin is O(log n)

– worst case time for all three is O(n)

– merge always switches children when fixing right path

– iterative method has only one pass

What do skew heaps remind us of?
