3. 3 Order of Leaves in a Tree Usually we do not specify the child order in a (rooted) tree –When you lay down a tree on the plane there are many ways to do this so that the leaf orders are different How many different ways can you order the leaves of a tree? In some data structure it is important to specify certain child orders for certain nodes

4. 4 The consecutive ones property (COP) COP : Can one permute the columns of a (0,1)-matrix such that the 1’s in each row are consecutive? One application is in the representation of the matrix, e.g. when you send the matrix through the Internet –Need only to give the “start” and “end” positions of the 1’s for each row, and the column order –O(m+n) space instead of O(mn) for a (m x n) – matrix.

5. 5 PQ-Trees There are many column permutations satisfying the COP One can use a PQ-tree to record all feasible permutations of the column indices –Children order of a P-node can be arbitrary –Children order of a Q-node can only be inverted

7. 7 Linear time algorithm on PQ-trees [1974] Booth and Lueker presented a linear time algorithm for the COP test based on PQ-trees PQ-tree can also be used to yield a linear time algorithm for interval graph recognition and planar graph recognition.

8. 8 Operations on PQ-trees Initially, there is a root P-node with all columns as leaves. Rows are considered one by one. Every time a new row comes in, we need to modify the current PQ-trees so that the columns with 1’s in this row are consecutive. At the end of the iteration, obtain a PQ- tree representing all feasible permutations for rows considered so far.

9. 9 Booth and Lueker’s PQ-Tree algorithm At each iteration consider a new row coming in. It is a bottom-up approach consisting of two stages: –1. Node labelingNode labeling The leaves of the incoming row are labeled full, all the other leaves are empty. the remaining nodes are labeled as follows. empty : all of its children are empty full : all of its children are full partial : neither full nor empty –2. Tree modificationTree modification

10. 10 1. Node labeling (bottom-up) The first time a node u becomes partial or full report to its parent. The first time a node u gets a partial or full child label u partial. The first time all children of a node u become full label u full.

11. 11 2. Tree modification Need to modify the current tree so that all the incoming columns can be arranged consecutively. There is no need to do anything for full subtrees Modify the subtree of every partial node –At each iteration, modify the subtree T of a partial node starting from the lowest level of the tree The purpose is to ensure all full subtrees of T can be arranged consecutively. The subtree modification is based on 9 templates of subtree structures.

13. 13 Template operations Change the children order so that full nodes become consecutive. Perform this in a bottom-up fashion At each stage, there are 9 templates to check altogether –These templates are, in some sense, minimized.

14. 14 Templates P 0 & P 1....... P0P0 P1P1

15. 15... Template P2 for ROOT (T,S) when it is a P-node

16. 16 Q-templates for partial nodes other than the root If the root is the only partial node, use template P2 in the last slide (so the root remains as a P-node). Otherwise, we use Q-node to represent a partial node during the operation so that the Q-templates can be adopted correctly.

17. 17... Template P3 for a singly partial P- node which is not ROOT (T,S) Even though this Q-node has only two children, we still make it a Q-node to facilitate later Q-template operations

18. 18... Template P4 for ROOT(T,S) when it is a P-node with one partial child...

19. 19 Template P5 for a singly partial P-node, other than ROOT(T,S), with one partial child...

21. 21 Templates Q 0 & Q 1 Similar to P 0 and P 1

22. 22... Template Q2 for a singly partial Q- node

23. 23 Template Q3 for a double partial Q- node...

24. 24 Time complexity of the original PQ-tree operations Because of the frequent change of parent children relations, we can only keep parent pointers for two “end” nodes of each Q-node. This analysis of O(m+n) time is quite involved –Booth & Lueker used amortized analysis to argue that it takes constant time at every iteration. Details will be given later when we discuss the complexity of PC-tree operations.

26. 26 Circular Ones Property (CLOP) Does there exist a column order such that either –the 1’s in each row are consecutive or –the 0’s in each row are consecutive This would be easy to see if you wrap around the column indices in a circle.

27. 27 PC-Trees A PC-tree is an un-rooted tree with two types of nodes P and C. Neighbors of a P-node can be permuted arbitrarily (Note that here we did not say “children” because there is no specific root). Neighbors of a C-node obey a clockwise order, which can only be inverted.

35. 35 Objective: Find a path that separates the full subtrees from the empty onesObjective: Find a path that separates the full subtrees from the empty ones –Sufficient to find the two end nodes of this path A rooting of a PC-tree is to assign a node as the root and redirect all parent-child relationsA rooting of a PC-tree is to assign a node as the root and redirect all parent-child relations Terminal NodeTerminal Node –A partial node whose children are either empty or full relative to some rooting Our approach: Finding a separating path empty full

36. 36 Key observations There are at most two terminal nodes –There is a unique tree path between these two nodes Full children of C-nodes on the path can be correctly flipped to one side, and empty ones to the other side

37. 37 The unique terminal path between two terminal nodes u, u’ (I) um u' empty full Flippable C-node R What if node u is a C-node? Case 1. u, u’ and R are not on a path

38. 38 The unique terminal path between two terminal nodes u, u’ (II) u u' R empty full Case 2. u, u’ and R are on a path

39. 39 Forbidden structures on PC-trees Whenever you have such a collection of subtrees, the matrix does not satisfy the CLOP (and hence, does not satisfy the COP). –Why? 1, 3, 5 have to be next to each other. –WLOG, assume the order is 135 where 3 is between 1 and 5. But then, there is no place for 4, which needs to be to the left or right of 3.345612 Where 1, 3, 5 are distinct and consecutive

53. 53 An example for a PC-tree operation equivalent to a template conversion

54. 54 Complexity Analysis Want to show the cost is proportional to the # of 1’s in the row (i.e. # of full leaves). There is a catch here: for each C-node, we cannot afford to have a parent pointer for each child due to frequent pointer change in path splitting. –Can only keep parent pointer for two “end” nodes –Keep a cycle for each C-node as a double linked list –Internal node of the cycle find parent through neighbors! virtual real

55. 55 The cost of node labeling Easy for P-node; for each internal node of a C-node, inform its two neighbors when it becomes full or partial. –Since full children of a C-node must be consecutive, it is easy to check at the end whether this C-node is full or partial –In case none of the two end nodes are full, this C- node is the LCA. Nothing else needs to be done (similar to the case that the LCA is full)

56. 56 The cost of path splitting (I) Instead of connecting the new C-node to each of its child, go around the boundary of the C-node to form its cycle. C P P C C 154278 6 3 P P 154278 6 3 Each P-node that has both a full subtree and an empty subtree is duplicated

57. 57 Path splitting and the new C-node The terminal path The new C-node Cost = path traversal + # of P-node duplication

58. 58 The cost of path splitting (II) Each P-node that has both full subtrees and empty subtrees need to be duplicated –The # of new P-nodes added at each iteration  # of full subtrees Need to worry about the cost of traversing through empty P-nodes

59. 59 A potential problem: what if a cycle contains very few full nodes? The cost of forming this cycle (traversing through empty P-nodes in the cycle) is not proportional to the number of full nodes. u u'

60. 60 Charging the Traversal of empty P-nodes separately Every time an empty P-node is traversed in forming a cycle, its two neighboring tree edges become cycle links Once a tree edge becomes a cycle link, it remains as a link. –Each tree edge can be converted to a link at most once!

62. 62 Final observations (I) At every iteration, we determine a unique path that separates the tree into “two parts” (for circular ones, the root is immaterial).

63. 63 Final observations (II) The two terminal nodes actually give the two “cuts” in terms of the column partition (when the new row is placed into the current partition).
