public interface LowestCommonAncestorOffline

An algorithm for computing the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two vertices in a tree, offline.

Given a rooted tree, the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two vertices u and v is the lowest vertex (farthest to root) that has both u and v as descendants. The offline version of this problem is given a tree and a set of pairs of vertices, find the LCA of each pair. There are also the static and online versions of this problem.

Use newInstance() to get a default implementation of this interface.

Method Details

findLowestCommonAncestors

<V,
E> LowestCommonAncestorOffline.Result<V,E> findLowestCommonAncestors(Graph<V,E> tree,
 V root,
 LowestCommonAncestorOffline.Queries<V,E> queries)

Find the lowest common ancestors of the given queries.

If g is IntGraph, the returned object is LowestCommonAncestorOffline.IResult.

Type Parameters:

V - the vertices type

E - the edges type

Parameters:

tree - the tree

root - the root of the tree

queries - the queries

Returns:

the lowest common ancestors of the given queries

newInstance

static LowestCommonAncestorOffline newInstance()

Create a new offline LCA algorithm object.

This is the recommended way to instantiate a new LowestCommonAncestorOffline object.

Returns:

a default implementation of LowestCommonAncestorOffline
