\chapter{Segment trees revisited}

\index{segment tree}

A segment tree is a versatile data structure
that can be used in many different situations.
However, there are many topics related to segment trees
that we have not touched yet.
Now it is time to discuss some more advanced variants
of segment trees.

So far, we have implemented the operations
of a segment tree by walking \emph{from bottom to top}
in the tree.
For example, we have calculated the sum of 
elements in a range $[a,b]$
as follows (Chapter 9.3):

\begin{lstlisting}
int sum(int a, int b) {
    a += N; b += N;
    int s = 0;
    while (a <= b) {
        if (a%2 == 1) s += p[a++];
        if (b%2 == 0) s += p[b--];
        a /= 2; b /= 2;
    }
    return s;
}
\end{lstlisting}
However, in more advanced segment trees,
it is often needed to implement the operations
in another way, \emph{from top to bottom}.
Using this approach, the function becomes as follows:

\begin{lstlisting}
int sum(int a, int b, int k, int x, int y) {
    if (b < x || a > y) return 0;
    if (a <= x && y <= b) return p[k];
    int d = (x+y)/2;
    return sum(a,b,2*k,x,d) + sum(a,b,2*k+1,d+1,y);
}
\end{lstlisting}
Now we can calculate the sum of
elements in $[a,b]$ as follows:

\begin{lstlisting}
int s = sum(a, b, 1, 0, N-1);
\end{lstlisting}

\begin{samepage}
The parameter $k$ indicates the current position
in \texttt{p}.
Initially $k$ equals 1, because we begin
at the root of the segment tree.
The range $[x,y]$ corresponds to $k$
and is initially $[0,N-1]$.
When calculating the sum,
if $[x,y]$ is outside $[a,b]$,
the sum is 0,
and if $[x,y]$ is completely inside $[a,b]$,
the sum can be found in \texttt{p}.
If $[x,y]$ is partially inside $[a,b]$,
the search continues recursively to the
left and right half of $[x,y]$.
The left half is $[x,d]$
and the right half is $[d+1,y]$
where $d=\lfloor \frac{x+y}{2} \rfloor$.
\end{samepage}

The following picture shows how the search proceeds
when calculating the sum of elements in $[a,b]$.
The gray nodes indicate nodes where the recursion
stops and the sum can be found in \texttt{p}.

Also using this implementation,
operations take $O(\log n)$ time,
because the total number of visited nodes is $O(\log n)$.

\section{Lazy propagation}

\index{lazy propagation}
\index{lazy segment tree}

Using \key{lazy propagation}, we can build
a segment tree that supports both range updates
and range queries in $O(\log n)$ time.
The idea is to perform updates and queries
from top to bottom and perform updates
\emph{lazily} so that they are propagated
down the tree only when it is necessary.

In a lazy segment tree, nodes contain two types of
information.
Like in an ordinary segment tree,
each node contains the sum or some other value
related to the corresponding subarray.
In addition, the node may contain information
related to lazy updates, which has not been
propagated to its children.

There are two types of range updates:
each element in the range is either
\emph{increased} by some value
or \emph{assigned} some value.
Both operations can be implemented using
similar ideas, and it is even possible to construct
a tree that supports both operations at the same time.

\subsubsection{Lazy segment tree}

Let us consider an example where our goal is to
construct a segment tree that supports
two operations: increasing each element in
$[a,b]$ by $u$ and calculating the sum of
elements in $[a,b]$.

We will construct a tree where each node
contains two values $s/z$:
$s$ denotes the sum of elements in the range
and $z$ denotes the value of a lazy update,
which means that all elements in the range
should be increased by $z$.
In the following tree, $z=0$ for all nodes,
so there are no ongoing lazy updates.

When the elements in $[a,b]$ are increased by $u$,
we walk from the root towards the leaves
and modify the nodes in the tree as follows:
If the range $[x,y]$ of a node is
completely inside the range $[a,b]$,
we increase the $z$ value of the node by $u$ and stop.
If $[x,y]$ only partially belongs to $[a,b]$,
we increase the $s$ value of the node by $hu$,
where $h$ is the size of the intersection of $[a,b]$
and $[x,y]$, and continue our walk recursively in the tree.

For example, the following picture shows the tree after
increasing the elements in $[a,b]$ by 2:

We also calculate the sum of elements in a range $[a,b]$
by walking in the tree from top to bottom.
If the range $[x,y]$ of a node completely belongs
to $[a,b]$, we add the $s$ value of the node to the sum.
Otherwise, we continue the search recursively
downwards in the tree.

Both in updates and queries,
the value of a lazy update is always propagated
to the children of the node
before processing the node.
The idea is that updates will be propagated
downwards only when it is necessary,
which guarantees that the operations are always efficient.

The following picture shows how the tree changes
when we calculate the sum of elements in $[a,b]$.
The rectangle shows the nodes whose values change,
because a lazy update is propagated downwards,
which is necessary to calculate the sum in $[a,b]$.

\path[draw=red,thick,->,line width=2pt] (l) -- (g);

\draw [decoration={brace}, decorate, line width=0.5mm] (14,-0.25) -- (10,-0.25);

\draw[color=blue,thick] (8,1.5) rectangle (12,5.5);

\node at (10.5,-0.75) {$a$};
\node at (13.5,-0.75) {$b$};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}

Note that sometimes it is needed to combine lazy updates.
This happens when a node that already has a lazy update
is assigned another lazy update.
In this problem, it is easy to combine lazy updates,
because the combination of updates $z_1$ and $z_2$
corresponds to an update $z_1+z_2$.

\subsubsection{Polynomial update}

Lazy updates can be generalized so that it is
possible to update ranges using polynomials of the form
\[p(u) = t_k u^k + t_{k-1} u^{k-1} + \cdots + t_0.\]

In this case, the update for an element $i$
in the range $[a,b]$ is $p(i-a)$.
For example, adding $p(u)=u+1$
to $[a,b]$ means that the element at position $a$
is increased by 1, the element at position $a+1$
is increased by 2, and so on.

To support polynomial updates,
each node is assigned $k+2$ values,
where $k$ equals the degree of the polynomial.
The value $s$ is the sum of the elements in the range,
and the values $z_0,z_1,\ldots,z_k$ are the coefficients
of a polynomial that corresponds to a lazy update.

Now, the sum of elements in a range $[x,y]$ equals
\[s+\sum_{u=0}^{y-x} z_k u^k + z_{k-1} u^{k-1} + \cdots + z_0.\]

The value of such a sum
can be efficiently calculated using sum formulas.
For example, the term $z_0$ corresponds to the sum
$(y-x+1)z_0$, and the term $z_1 u$ corresponds to the sum
\[z_1(0+1+\cdots+y-x) = z_1 \frac{(y-x)(y-x+1)}{2} .\]

When propagating an update in the tree,
the indices of $p(u)$ change,
because in each range $[x,y]$,
the values are
calculated for $u=0,1,\ldots,y-x$.
However, this is not a problem, because
$p'(u)=p(u+h)$ is a polynomial
of equal degree as $p(u)$.
For example, if $p(u)=t_2 u^2+t_1 u-t_0$, then
\[p'(u)=t_2(u+h)^2+t_1(u+h)-t_0=t_2 u^2 + (2ht_2+t_1)u+t_2h^2+t_1h-t_0.\]

\section{Dynamic trees}

\index{dynamic segment tree}

An ordinary segment tree is static,
which means that each node has a fixed position
in the array and the tree requires
a fixed amount of memory.
However, if most nodes are not used,
memory is wasted.
In a \key{dynamic segment tree},
memory is allocated only for nodes that
are actually needed.

The nodes of a dynamic tree can be represented as structs:

\begin{lstlisting}
struct node {
    int s;
    int x, y;
    node *l, *r;
    node(int s, int x, int y) : s(s), x(x), y(y) {}
};
\end{lstlisting}
Here $s$ is the value of the node,
$[x,y]$ is the corresponding range,
and $l$ and $r$ point to the left
and right subtree.

After this, nodes can be created as follows:

\begin{lstlisting}
// create new node
node *u = new node(0, 0, 15);
// change value
u->s = 5;
\end{lstlisting}

\subsubsection{Sparse segment tree}

\index{sparse segment tree}

A dynamic segment tree is useful if
the underlying array is \emph{sparse}.
This means that the range $[0,N-1]$
of allowed indices is large,
but only a small portion of the indices are used
and most elements in the array are empty.
While an ordinary segment tree uses $O(N)$ memory,
a dynamic segment tree only requires $O(n \log N)$ memory,
where $n$ is the number of operations performed.

A \key{sparse segment tree} is initially empty
and its only node is $[0,N-1]$.
After updates, new nodes are added dynamically
when needed.
For example, if $N=16$ and the elements
in positions 3 and 10 have been modified,
the tree contains the following nodes:
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.9]
\scriptsize
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=35pt] (1) at (0,0) {$[0,15]$};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=35pt] (2) at (-4,-2) {$[0,7]$};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=35pt] (3) at (-6,-4) {$[0,3]$};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=35pt] (4) at (-4,-6) {$[2,3]$};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=35pt] (5) at (-2,-8) {$[3]$};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=35pt] (6) at (4,-2) {$[8,15]$};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=35pt] (7) at (2,-4) {$[8,11]$};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=35pt] (8) at (4,-6) {$[10,11]$};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=35pt] (9) at (2,-8) {$[10]$};

\path[draw,thick,->] (1) -- (2);
\path[draw,thick,->] (2) -- (3);
\path[draw,thick,->] (3) -- (4);
\path[draw,thick,->] (4) -- (5);

\path[draw,thick,->] (1) -- (6);
\path[draw,thick,->] (6) -- (7);
\path[draw,thick,->] (7) -- (8);
\path[draw,thick,->] (8) -- (9);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}

Any path from the root node to a leaf contains
$O(\log N)$ nodes,
so each operation adds at most $O(\log N)$
new nodes to the tree.
Thus, after $n$ operations, the tree contains
at most $O(n \log N)$ nodes.

Note that if all indices of the elements
are known at the beginning of the algorithm,
a dynamic segment tree is not needed,
but we can use an ordinary segment tree with
index compression (Chapter 9.4).
However, this is not possible if the indices
are generated during the algorithm.

\subsubsection{Persistent segment tree}

\index{persistent segment tree}

Using a dynamic implementation,
it is also possible to create a
\key{persistent segment tree} that stores
the \emph{modification history} of the tree.
In such an implementation, we can
efficiently access
all versions of the tree that have
existed during the algorithm.

When the modification history is available,
we can perform queries in any previous tree
like in an ordinary segment tree, because the
full structure of each tree is stored.
We can also create new trees based on previous
trees and modify them independently.

Consider the following sequence of updates,
where red nodes change
and other nodes remain the same:

\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.8]
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (1a) at (3,0) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (2a) at (2,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (3a) at (4,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (4a) at (1.5,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (5a) at (2.5,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (6a) at (3.5,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (7a) at (4.5,-2) {};
\path[draw,thick,->] (1a) -- (2a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (1a) -- (3a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (2a) -- (4a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (2a) -- (5a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (3a) -- (6a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (3a) -- (7a);

\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (1b) at (3+5,0) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (2b) at (2+5,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (3b) at (4+5,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (4b) at (1.5+5,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (5b) at (2.5+5,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (6b) at (3.5+5,-2) {};

\path[draw,thick,->] (2b) -- (5b);
\path[draw,thick,->] (3b) -- (6b);
\path[draw,thick,->] (3b) -- (7b);

\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (1c) at (3+10,0) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (2c) at (2+10,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (3c) at (4+10,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (4c) at (1.5+10,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (5c) at (2.5+10,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (6c) at (3.5+10,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (7c) at (4.5+10,-2) {};
\path[draw,thick,->] (1c) -- (2c);
\path[draw,thick,->] (1c) -- (3c);
\path[draw,thick,->] (2c) -- (4c);
\path[draw,thick,->] (2c) -- (5c);
\path[draw,thick,->] (3c) -- (6c);
\path[draw,thick,->] (3c) -- (7c);

\node at (3,-3) {step 1};
\node at (3+5,-3) {step 2};
\node at (3+10,-3) {step 3};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
After each update, most nodes in the tree
remain the same,
so an efficient way to store the modification history
is to represent each tree in the history as a combination
of new nodes and subtrees of previous trees.
In this example, the modification history can be
stored as follows:
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.8]
\path[use as bounding box] (0, 1) rectangle (16, -3.5);

\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (1a) at (3,0) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (2a) at (2,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (3a) at (4,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (4a) at (1.5,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (5a) at (2.5,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (6a) at (3.5,-2) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt] (7a) at (4.5,-2) {};
\path[draw,thick,->] (1a) -- (2a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (1a) -- (3a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (2a) -- (4a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (2a) -- (5a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (3a) -- (6a);
\path[draw,thick,->] (3a) -- (7a);

\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (1b) at (3+5,0) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (2b) at (2+5,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (5b) at (2.5+5,-2) {};
\path[draw,thick,->] (1b) -- (2b);

\draw[thick,->] (1b) .. controls (3+5+2,0-1) and (3+5,2.5) .. (3a);

\draw[thick,->] (2b) .. controls (2+5-0.5,-1-0.5) and (2,4.5) .. (4a);


\path[draw,thick,->] (2b) -- (5b);

\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (1c) at (3+10,0) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (3c) at (4+10,-1) {};
\node[draw, circle,minimum size=13pt,fill=red] (7c) at (4.5+10,-2) {};
\path[draw,thick,->] (1c) -- (2b);
\path[draw,thick,->] (1c) -- (3c);

\draw[thick,->] (3c) .. controls (2.5+5,-3) and (3.5,-3) .. (6a);

\path[draw,thick,->] (3c) -- (7c);

\node at (3,-3) {step 1};
\node at (3+5,-3) {step 2};
\node at (3+10,-3) {step 3};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}

The structure of each previous tree can be
reconstructed by following the pointers
starting at the corresponding root node.
Since each operation during the algorithm
adds only $O(\log N)$ new nodes to the tree,
it is possible to store the full modification history of the tree.

\section{Data structures}

Instead of single values, nodes in a segment tree
can also contain data structures that maintain information
about the corresponding ranges.
In such a tree, the operations take
$O(f(n) \log n)$ time, where $f(n)$ is
the time needed for processing a single node during an operation.

As an example, consider a segment tree that
supports queries of the form
''how many times does an element $x$ appear
in the range $[a,b]$?''
For example, the element 1 appears three times
in the following range:

\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.7]
\fill[lightgray] (1,0) rectangle (6,1);
\draw (0,0) grid (8,1);

\node[anchor=center] at (0.5, 0.5) {3};
\node[anchor=center] at (1.5, 0.5) {1};
\node[anchor=center] at (2.5, 0.5) {2};
\node[anchor=center] at (3.5, 0.5) {3};
\node[anchor=center] at (4.5, 0.5) {1};
\node[anchor=center] at (5.5, 0.5) {1};
\node[anchor=center] at (6.5, 0.5) {1};
\node[anchor=center] at (7.5, 0.5) {2};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}

The idea is to build a segment tree
where each node is assigned a data structure
that gives the number of any element $x$
in the corresponding range.
Using such a segment tree,
the answer to a query can be calculated
by combining the results from the nodes
that belong to the range.

For example, the following segment tree
corresponds to the above array:
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.7]

\node[draw, rectangle] (a) at (1,2.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{r}

1 \\
\end{tabular}};
\node[draw, rectangle] (e) at (9,2.5)
{

\begin{tabular}{r}

\hline
1 \\
\end{tabular}};
\node[draw, rectangle] (f) at (11,2.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{r}
1 \\
\hline
1 \\
\end{tabular}};
\node[draw, rectangle] (g) at (13,2.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{r}

\hline
1 \\
\end{tabular}};
\node[draw, rectangle] (h) at (15,2.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{r}
2 \\
\hline
1 \\
\end{tabular}};

\node[draw, rectangle] (i) at (2,4.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{rr}
1 & 3 \\
\hline
1 & 1 \\
\end{tabular}};
\path[draw,thick,-] (i) -- (a);
\path[draw,thick,-] (i) -- (b);
\node[draw, rectangle] (j) at (6,4.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{rr}
2 & 3 \\
\hline
1 & 1 \\
\end{tabular}};
\path[draw,thick,-] (j) -- (c);
\path[draw,thick,-] (j) -- (d);
\node[draw, rectangle] (k) at (10,4.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{r}
1 \\
\hline
2 \\
\end{tabular}};
\path[draw,thick,-] (k) -- (e);
\path[draw,thick,-] (k) -- (f);
\node[draw, rectangle] (l) at (14,4.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{rr}
1 & 2 \\
\hline
1 & 1 \\
\end{tabular}};
\path[draw,thick,-] (l) -- (g);
\path[draw,thick,-] (l) -- (h);

\node[draw, rectangle] (m) at (4,6.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
1 & 1 & 2 \\
\end{tabular}};
\path[draw,thick,-] (m) -- (i);
\path[draw,thick,-] (m) -- (j);
\node[draw, rectangle] (n) at (12,6.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{rr}
1 & 2 \\
\hline
3 & 1 \\
\end{tabular}};
\path[draw,thick,-] (n) -- (k);
\path[draw,thick,-] (n) -- (l);

\node[draw, rectangle] (o) at (8,8.5)
{
\footnotesize
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
4 & 2 & 2 \\
\end{tabular}};
\path[draw,thick,-] (o) -- (m);
\path[draw,thick,-] (o) -- (n);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}

We can build the tree so
that each node contains a \texttt{map} structure.
In this case, the time needed for processing each
node is $O(\log n)$, so the total time complexity
of a query is $O(\log^2 n)$.
The tree uses $O(n \log n)$ memory,
because there are $O(\log n)$ levels
and each level contains
$O(n)$ elements.

\section{Two-dimensionality}

\index{two-dimensional segment tree}

A \key{two-dimensional segment tree} supports
queries related to rectangular subarrays
of a two-dimensional array.
Such a tree can be implemented as
nested segment trees: a big tree corresponds to the
rows in the array, and each node contains a small tree
that corresponds to a column.

For example, in the array
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.7]
\draw (0,0) grid (4,4);

\node[anchor=center] at (0.5, 0.5) {8};
\node[anchor=center] at (1.5, 0.5) {5};

\node[anchor=center] at (2.5, 3.5) {1};
\node[anchor=center] at (3.5, 3.5) {6};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
the sum of any subarray
can be calculated
from the following segment tree:

The operations in a two-dimensional segment tree
take $O(\log^2 n)$ time, because the big tree
and each small tree consist of $O(\log n)$ levels.
The tree requires $O(n^2)$ memory, because each
small tree contains $O(n)$ values.
