弱ヒープソートで配列を並び替える
弱ヒープソートを使用する
弱ヒープソート (weak-heap sort) は、配列を弱ヒープ(weak heap)に整えたあと、根(最大値)と末尾を入れ替えてヒープを縮めていく整列である。
手順はヒープソートと同じだが、二分ヒープより緩い順序条件と、左右の子の役割を示す逆ビット(reverse bit)を使う点が異なる。
弱ヒープを二分木としてみると次を満たし、この記事では根が最大となる最大ヒープ形となるように構築する。
- 根は左の子を持たない(右の子だけを持つ)。
- 各節点の値は、その右部分木に属するすべての値以上である(左の子側=兄弟列には直接の大小を課さない)。
- 葉は最下層かそのひとつ上にだけ現れる(完全二分木と同じ配置)。
配列表現では、節点 i の逆ビット r[i] が「左の子」と「右の子」のどちらを 2i / 2i+1 に割り当てるかを決める。r[i] = 0 なら左の子は 2i、右の子は 2i+1、r[i] = 1 なら入れ替わる。根(i = 0)は常に右の子 1 だけを見る。
多分岐ヒープとしてみると、右の子は「最初の子」、左の子は「次の兄弟」に対応し、二項ヒープの木を 1 本の不完全木にまとめた形になる。ある節点 j の多分岐上の親を区別祖先(distinguished ancestor)と呼び、ヒープ条件は「区別祖先の値が j の値以上」に落ちる。
- 構築: 逆ビットをすべて 0 にし、末尾から 1 まで各節点
jをその区別祖先と 結合 する。結合は 1 回の比較で、子の方が大きければ交換し、子側の逆ビットを反転する。全体でちょうどn - 1回の比較で弱ヒープになる。 - 抽出: 根とヒープ末尾を交換して最大値を確定する。
- 沈降: 新しい根について、右部分木の左背骨を葉まで下り、そこから親へ遡りながら根と結合を繰り返す。二分ヒープの沈降が各段で最大 2 比較なのに対し、弱ヒープでは高さぶんの比較で足りる。
- 反復: ヒープ長が 2 になるまで手順 2〜3 を繰り返し、最後に残った 2 要素を入れ替えて昇順を完成する。
procedure distinguished_ancestor(r, j)
while (j & 1) = r[j >> 1]
j = j >> 1
return j >> 1
procedure join(A, r, i, j) // i は区別祖先、最大ヒープ
if A[i] < A[j] then
flip r[j]
swap A[i], A[j]
procedure weak_heap_sort(A)
n = length(A)
r[0..n) = 0
for j from n - 1 down to 1
join(A, r, distinguished_ancestor(r, j), j)
for end from n - 1 down to 2
swap A[0], A[end]
x = 1 // 根の右の子
while 2 * x + r[x] < end // 右部分木の左背骨を下る
x = 2 * x + r[x]
while x > 0
join(A, r, 0, x)
x = x >> 1
swap A[0], A[1]
最悪時間計算量は \(O(n \log n)\) である。構築は n - 1 比較、抽出フェーズの比較回数はおよそ \(n \lceil \log_2 n \rceil\) 前後に抑えられ、通常のヒープソート(沈降で最大約 2 n log n 比較)より比較が少なくなりやすい。
逆ビットに \(O(n)\) ビットの追加領域が要る(厳密なインプレースではない)。等値の扱いは結合時の規約依存で、不安定である。
類似アルゴリズムとの相違点
ヒープソートは親子両方にヒープ条件を課し、沈降で最大 2 比較/段を使う。弱ヒープは右部分木だけに大小を課し、逆ビットで左右を入れ替えられるため、沈降の比較回数をおよそ半分に近づけられる。
二項ヒープソートは次数の異なる二項木の森として合併する。完全な弱ヒープ(要素数 2^k)は単一の二項木と同型だが、弱ヒープは不完全な 1 本の木のまま扱う。
トーナメントソートや敗者木ソートは比較結果を木に蓄えて最小を繰り返し取り出す方式で、配列上の弱ヒープ構築+末尾確定とは手順が異なる。
