Soft Heap and Soft Sequence Heaps: Properties and Applications
Explore the properties and applications of Soft Heap and Soft Sequence Heaps, discussing how corruption handling and selection functions are optimized in these data structures. The concept of car-pooling and the simplification of heap operations are highlighted, along with references to relevant research works and improvements in efficiency over traditional heap structures.

Soft Heap Soft heap properties EXTRACTMIN can increase values (corruptions) Returns new corruptions ?N corrupted elements in soft heap, 0 ? , N = # insertions Heap EXTRACTMIN value value Car-pooling equal values = lowest intersected line 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 2 1 1 time time 5 4 1 2 1 3 2 3 4 5 5 4 1 2 1 2 3 3 4 2 5 4 New corruptions (created by EXTRACTMIN) INSERT(x) EXTRACTMIN() (other operations not discussed in this talk MAKEHEAP, MELD, FINDMIN, DELETE)

Application of Soft Heaps O(n) Selection function select(A, k) if k = 1 then return min(A) Q = softheap(1/3) for a A do Q.INSERT(a) for i = 1 to |A|/3 do x = Q.EXTRACTMIN() small, large = partition(A, x) ifk |small| then return select(small, k) return select(large, k - |small|) ? 3,2 ? Pivot x has rank in (x is the increased value) 3 T(n) T(2n/3) + O(n) Chazelle JACM00
Application of Soft Heaps O(k) Heap Selection function select(root, k) S = {root} Q = softheap(1/4) Q.INSERT(root) for i = 1 to k - 1 do (e, C) = Q.EXTRACTMIN() if e not corrupted then C = C {e} for e C do Q.INSERT(e.left) Q.INSERT(e.right) S = S {e.left, e.right} return select(S, k) 3 42 4 11 Q 6 42 12 14 19 24 15 16 uncorrupted boundary Kaplan, Kozma, Zamir, Zwick SOSA19
Sequence heap properties Sorted lists, each list a rank Two lists rank r merge, rank r+1 Rank r list 2rvalues N INSERT rank log N Sequence Heaps rank 0 INSERT 2 15 INSERT(x) Create rank 0 list containing x while two list have equal rank do merge the two lists 1 2 15 13 25 2 1 7 10 12 2 13 15 25 EXTRACTMIN EXTRAXTMIN() Find list with smallest head element e Remove and return e 3 1 2 7 10 12 13 15 25 4 3 4 5 7 9 11 14 16 17 18 19 20
Sequence heap properties Sorted lists, each list a rank Prune every 2ndelement of a new list of even rank > log1 x pruned { x } C(x) added to C(y) where y successor of x Rank r list size 1 Soft Sequence Heap ? 3 3 10 14 15 20 24 2r 12 6 ? 3 4 7 18 19 21 23 merge INSERT(x) Create rank 0 list containing x while two list have equal rank r do merge the two lists if r even and r > log 1/ then prune list 13 16 4 3 4 7 10 14 15 18 19 20 21 23 24 pruned values (corruptions) 4 10 12 15 13 19 6 21 16 C(18) EXTRAXTMIN() Find list with smallest head element e if |C(x)| = 0 then Remove and return e else Remove and return an element from C(e)
Each non-pruned element has a corruption set C(e) and witness-set W(e) x C(e) x e x W(e) x e x corrupted x C(e ) for some e and x W(e ) for any e When EXTRACTMIN removes e, W(e) is reported as corrupted Suffix-min pointers and witness sets rank 0 15 Suffix-min 1 12 14 e e e 2 3 20 24 C(e ) W(e ) C(e) W(e) C(e ) W(e ) prune 6 6 3 4 7 18 19 21 23 e e e 16 16 13 W(7) witness-set 13 C(e ) { e } C(e) W(e ) C(e ) W(e ) { e } W(e)
Analysis Partial order of bounded width
Open Problems I/O & cache oblivious soft heaps with O(B) soft heap operations take O(1) I/Os ? Other applications of soft heaps ? Are Soft Heaps simpler ?
