Treaps

  • Cartesian Tree: A tree with two keys in every node, such that the tree forms a BST on one key and a Heap on the other.
  • Treap: A cartesian tree where the heap keys are random

Treap

This is a valid Treap, with two keys per node. The orange set of keys forms a BST and the green set forms a Min-Heap

Treap

Same Treap which tracks number of nodes in the sub-tree in each node

What Else Can I Do With Treaps?

Treaps can be used to represent "dynamic arrays":

Get Element at Index

Delete Element at Index

Insert Element at Index

Range Min/Max/Sum

Reverse Sub-Array

Transplant Sub-Array

Split Array / Merge Two Arrays

etc.

Main Treap Operations

Merge(Treap_1, Treap_2): This takes in two treaps, such that all BST values in Treap_1 are less than all BST values in Treap_2, and combines them.

 

Split(Treap, v): Creates two treaps from the input Treap, such that all values in one treap are <= v, and all the values in the other are > v

Implicit Treap

Treaps where the BST value is not explicitly stored

Allows the dynamic array operations discussed before

Relies on the fact there's a unique labelling for a BST with N nodes for labels in [1, N]

An array with N elements has unique indices

Implicit Treap

Allow us to represent an array, with modification operations like:

insert/delete an element at any index

append an array to another

split an array into two

reverse a subarray

transplant a subarray

...

Implicit Treap

Allow us to represent an array, with read operations like:

get element at index

get sum/min/max of values for indices in [l, r]

get k-th smallest value in [l, r]

When arrays A and B are merged to yield C, you can still perform any of the read-operations on all of A, B and C.
