Reading:
Chapter 20 in MAW. See also 6.7 and 6.8.

We want to simulate a chain of events Ei. Each event Ei is associated with a time ti.
No problem: sort the times, and run through them in order.
t1 < t2 < t3 < ... < tn
But what if an event can cause the creation of some new events in the future?
A Simulation
![Page 4: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We can still sort the original events by time, but not the additional ones: we don't yet know what/when they are. We need to be able to dynamically - insert an event into a data structure, and - extract the next event.
And, of course, the operations should be cheap.
A Simulation
![Page 5: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Suppose a robot wants to cross a street. No jaywalking, it can only move straight forward or backward.
Maximum speed of the robot is c.
Cars are coming from either side, but the robot has complete information about when and where they cross your line.
Problem: Find a way for the robot to get across without getting hit.
An Example: Street Crossing
![Page 6: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How do we model the given information?
In space-time a car is just a rectangular box.
Movement of the robot is constrained to a light-cone.
More Street Crossing

space
![Page 7: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hugging an obstacle (not that unrealistic, just inflate the obstacles to account for safety buffer).
More Street Crossing
![Page 8: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Note how obstacles may be “fused” together.
A Death Trap
![Page 9: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The times when obstacles appear/disappear are clearly events.
But there are more: The times when the robot touches an obstacle.
Or when the light cones from both ends of a disappearing obstacle meet.
Note that these events have to be computed as we go along, there is no way to compute them all at the outset.
Street Crossing
![Page 10: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Note how the first event happens before the first obstacle arrives! We need to go backwards in time, starting at the end of the last obstacle.
Time Travel
![Page 11: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How does this translate into a data structure?
What are the crucial operations?
What would be a simple (not necessarily efficient) implementation?
Where is room for improvement?
Towards An Algorithm
![Page 12: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Priority Queue Interface
Crucial Operations
insertfind-mindelete-min
Think about just inserting times (real numbers), but in reality there is associated information.
![Page 13: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Some Applications
Event simulations
Shortest path computation
Huffman coding
Sorting (sort of)
Not a universal data structure (like hash tables) but irreplaceable in some cases.
![Page 14: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PQ Interface
Requires total order on the elements of the universe.
Could be done with any traversable container: just run through and find the min.
We would like much better performance.
Binary search trees come to mind: min element is in the leftmost position.

A Serious Proof
Define PBT by structural induction:
- nil is a PBT and H(nil) = 0- (a,L,R) is a PBT whenever L and R are PBTs and H(L) = H(R).Moreover, H( (a,L,R) ) = H(L) + 1.
size(nil) = 0size( (a,L,R) ) = size(L) + size(R) + 1.
Then size(T) = 2H(T) -1.

Implementing PriorityQueues with Binary Heaps
![Page 39: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Binary heaps: the invariant
• Representation invariants1. Structure property
•Complete binary tree (i.e. the elements of the heap are stored in positions 1…size of the array)
2. Heap order property•Parent keys less than children keys
![Page 40: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Heaps
• Representation invariant1. Structure property
•Complete binary tree • Hence: efficient compact representation
2. Heap order property•Parent keys less than children keys• Hence: rapid insert, findMin, and deleteMin
• O(log(N)) for insert and deleteMin• O(1) for findMin
![Page 41: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The heap order property
• Each parent is less than each of its children.
• Hence: Root is less than every other node. (obvious proof by induction)

Operating with heaps
Representation invariant:
• All methods must: 1. Produce complete binary trees2. Guarantee the heap order property
• All methods may assume1. The tree is initially complete binary2. The heap order property holds
![Page 43: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Constructor method
• All methods must: 1. Produce complete binary trees
•Trivially true
2. Guarantee the heap order property•Also trivially true
• This is the base case
![Page 44: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
findMin ()
• The codepublic boolean isEmpty() { return size == 0;
}public Comparable findMin() { if(isEmpty()) return null; return heap[1]; }
• Does not change the tree Trivially preserves the invariant
![Page 45: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

2. Percolate the hole up the tree until the

percolateDown(int hole)
private void percolateDown( int hole ){ int child = hole; Comparable tmp = heap[hole]; for( ; hole*2 <= size; hole=child ) { child = hole * 2;
if(child!=size && heap[child+1].compareTo(heap[child]) < 0) child++;
if(array[child].compareTo(tmp) < 0) heap[hole] = heap[child]; else break; } heap[hole] = tmp;}
Is there a right child?
Bubble up if smaller than tmp
Initially 1
Select smaller child
Finally, place the orphan
Start at left child
Exit loop if not bubbling

deleteMin ()
• Observe that both components of the representation invariant are preserved by deleteMin.1. Completeness
• The last cell ( heap[size] ) is vacated, providing the value to percolate down.
• This assures that the tree remains complete.

buildHeap()
• Start with complete (unordered) tree
• Starting from bottom, repeatedly call percolateDown()
Void buildHeap () { for (int i = size/2; i>0; i--) percolateDown(i);}

buildHeap() performance
• At each iteration, have to do work proportional to the height of the current node
• Therefore, total running time is bounded by the sum of the heights of all of the nodes

(Representation invariant)
• What must always be true of the data structure when an operation completes.
• Theorem: Suppose each constructor assures the representation
invariant is initially correct.
Suppose each method preserves the representation invariant, assuming it is true initially.
Then the representation invariant will always be true at the completion of each method.

Heapsort
• Obviously we can use a priority queue to sort . . . just insert all the keys then do repeated deleteMins
• However we can take advantage of the fact that the heap always uses the first part of the array to do this with no extra space.
• This is called heapsort.
![Page 75: Priority Queues and Heaps](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56814689550346895db3ac3a/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Heapsort
• Reverse the sense of the heap order (largest at the root)
• Start from position 0 in the array (children are 2i+1 and 2i+2)
• Call it percDown(a, i, len)
Public static void heapsort(Comparable[] a) {
for(int i = a.length/2; i>=0; i--)
percDown(a, i, a.length);
for (int j = a.length-1; j>0; j--) {
swapReferences(a, 0, j);
percDown(a, 0, j);
}
}
