Computer notes - Analysis of Union
- 1. Class No.30 Data Structures http://ecomputernotes.com
- 2. Running Time Analysis Union is clearly a constant time operation. Running time of find ( i ) is proportional to the height of the tree containing node i . This can be proportional to n in the worst case (but not always) Goal: Modify union to ensure that heights stay small http://ecomputernotes.com

- 11. Analysis of Union by Size If unions are done by weight (size), the depth of any element is never greater than log 2 n . http://ecomputernotes.com
- 12. Analysis of Union by Size Intuitive Proof: Initially, every element is at depth zero. When its depth increases as a result of a union operation (it’s in the smaller tree), it is placed in a tree that becomes at least twice as large as before (union of two equal size trees). How often can each union be done? -- log 2 n times, because after at most log 2 n unions, the tree will contain all n elements. http://ecomputernotes.com
- 13. Union by Height Alternative to union-by-size strategy: maintain heights, During union, make a tree with smaller height a subtree of the other. Details are left as an exercise. http://ecomputernotes.com
- 14. Sprucing up Find So far we have tried to optimize union . Can we optimize find ? Yes, using path compression (or compaction). http://ecomputernotes.com
- 15. Sprucing up Find During find ( i ), as we traverse the path from i to root, update parent entries for all these nodes to the root. This reduces the heights of all these nodes. Pay now, and reap benefits later! Subsequent find may do less work http://ecomputernotes.com

- 24. Timing with Optimization Theorem: A sequence of m union and find operations, n of which are find operations, can be performed on a disjoint-set forest with union by rank (weight or height) and path compression in worst case time proportional to ( m ( n )) ( n ) is the inverse Ackermann’s function which grows extremely slowly. For all practical puposes, ( n ) 4. Union-find is essentially proportional to m for a sequence of m operations, linear in m . http://ecomputernotes.com
