%% Ordered Sets implemented as General Balanced Trees
%%
%% Copyright (C) 1999-2001 Richard Carlsson
%%
%% An implementation of ordered sets using Prof. Arne Andersson's
%% General Balanced Trees. This can be much more efficient than using
%% ordered lists, for larger sets, but depends on the application. See
%% notes below for details.
%% ---------------------------------------------------------------------
%% Notes:
%%
%% The complexity on set operations is bounded by either O(|S|) or O(|T|
%% * log(|S|)), where S is the largest given set, depending on which is
%% fastest for any particular function call. For operating on sets of
%% almost equal size, this implementation is about 3 times slower than
%% using ordered-list sets directly. For sets of very different sizes,
%% however, this solution can be arbitrarily much faster; in practical
%% cases, often between 10 and 100 times. This implementation is
%% particularly suited for ackumulating elements a few at a time,
%% building up a large set (more than 100-200 elements), and repeatedly
%% testing for membership in the current set.
%%
%% As with normal tree structures, lookup (membership testing),
%% insertion and deletion have logarithmic complexity.
%%
%% Operations:
%%
%% - empty(): returns empty set.
%%
%%   Alias: new(), for compatibility with `sets'.
%%
%% - is_empty(S): returns 'true' if S is an empty set, and 'false'
%%   otherwise.
%%
%% - size(S): returns the number of nodes in the set as an integer.
%%   Returns 0 (zero) if the set is empty.
%%
%% - singleton(X): returns a set containing only the element X.
%%
%% - is_member(X, S): returns `true' if element X is a member of set S,
%%   and `false' otherwise.
%%
%%   Alias: is_element(), for compatibility with `sets'.
%%
%% - insert(X, S): inserts element X into set S; returns the new set.
%%   *Assumes that the element is not present in S.*
%%
%% - add(X, S): adds element X to set S; returns the new set. If X is
%%   already an element in S, nothing is changed.
%%
%%   Alias: add_element(), for compatibility with `sets'.
%%
%% - delete(X, S): removes element X from set S; returns new set.
%%   Assumes that the element exists in the set.
%%
%% - delete_any(X, S): removes key X from set S if the key is present
%%   in the set, otherwise does nothing; returns new set.
%%
%%   Alias: del_element(), for compatibility with `sets'.
%%
%% - balance(S): rebalances the tree representation of S. Note that this
%%   is rarely necessary, but may be motivated when a large number of
%%   elements have been deleted from the tree without further
%%   insertions. Rebalancing could then be forced in order to minimise
%%   lookup times, since deletion only does not rebalance the tree.
%%
%% - union(S1, S2): returns a new set that contains each element that is
%%   in either S1 or S2 or both, and no other elements.
%%
%% - union(Ss): returns a new set that contains each element that is in
%%   at least one of the sets in the list Ss, and no other elements.
%%
%% - intersection(S1, S2): returns a new set that contains each element
%%   that is in both S1 and S2, and no other elements.
%%
%% - intersection(Ss): returns a new set that contains each element that
%%   is in all of the sets in the list Ss, and no other elements.
%%
%% - is_disjoint(S1, S2): returns `true' if none of the elements in S1
%%   occurs in S2.
%%
%% - difference(S1, S2): returns a new set that contains each element in
%%   S1 that is not also in S2, and no other elements.
%%
%%   Alias: subtract(), for compatibility with `sets'.
%%
%% - is_subset(S1, S2): returns `true' if each element in S1 is also a
%%   member of S2, and `false' otherwise.
%%
%% - to_list(S): returns an ordered list of all elements in set S. The
%%   list never contains duplicates.
%%
%% - from_list(List): creates a set containing all elements in List,
%%   where List may be unordered and contain duplicates.
%%
%% - from_ordset(L): turns an ordered-set list L into a set. The list
%%   must not contain duplicates.
%%
%% - smallest(S): returns the smallest element in set S. Assumes that
%%   the set S is nonempty.
%%
%% - largest(S): returns the largest element in set S. Assumes that the
%%   set S is nonempty.
%%
%% - take_smallest(S): returns {X, S1}, where X is the smallest element
%%   in set S, and S1 is the set S with element X deleted. Assumes that
%%   the set S is nonempty.
%%
%% - take_largest(S): returns {X, S1}, where X is the largest element in
%%   set S, and S1 is the set S with element X deleted. Assumes that the
%%   set S is nonempty.
%%
%% - iterator(S): returns an iterator that can be used for traversing
%%   the entries of set S; see `next'. The implementation of this is
%%   very efficient; traversing the whole set using `next' is only
%%   slightly slower than getting the list of all elements using
%%   `to_list' and traversing that. The main advantage of the iterator
%%   approach is that it does not require the complete list of all
%%   elements to be built in memory at one time.
%%
%% - next(T): returns {X, T1} where X is the smallest element referred
%%   to by the iterator T, and T1 is the new iterator to be used for
%%   traversing the remaining elements, or the atom `none' if no
%%   elements remain.
%%
%% - filter(P, S): Filters set S using predicate function P. Included
%%   for compatibility with `sets'.
%%
%% - fold(F, A, S): Folds function F over set S with A as the initial
%%   ackumulator. Included for compatibility with `sets'.
%%
%% - is_set(S): returns 'true' if S appears to be a set, and 'false'
%%   otherwise. Not recommended; included for compatibility with `sets'.

-module(gb_sets).

-export([empty/0, is_empty/1, size/1, singleton/1, is_member/2,
	 insert/2, add/2, delete/2, delete_any/2, balance/1, union/2,

%% `sets' compatibility aliases:

-export([new/0, is_element/2, add_element/2, del_element/2,
	 subtract/2]).

%% GB-trees adapted from Sven-Olof Nyström's implementation for
%% representation of sets.
%%
%% Data structures:
%% - {Size, Tree}, where `Tree' is composed of nodes of the form:
%% - {Key, Smaller, Bigger}, and the "empty tree" node:
%% - nil.
%%
%% No attempt is made to balance trees after deletions. Since deletions
%% don't increase the height of a tree, this should be OK.
%%
%% Original balance condition h(T) <= ceil(c * log(|T|)) has been
%% changed to the similar (but not quite equivalent) condition 2 ^ h(T)
%% <= |T| ^ c. This should also be OK.
%%
%% Behaviour is logarithmic (as it should be).

%% Set operations:


%% If |X| < |Y|, then we traverse the elements of X. The cost for
%% testing a single random element for membership in a tree S is
%% proportional to log(|S|); thus, if |Y| / |X| < c * log(|Y|), for some
%% c, it is more efficient to scan the ordered sequence of elements of Y
%% while traversing X (under the same ordering) in order to test whether
%% elements of X are already in Y. Since the `math' module does not have
%% a `log2'-function, we rewrite the condition to |X| < |Y| * c1 *
%% ln(|X|), where c1 = c / ln 2.

-define(c, 1.46).    % 1 / ln 2; this appears to be best

%% If the sets are not very different in size, i.e., if |Y| / |X| >= c *
%% log(|Y|), then the fastest way to do union (and the other similar set
%% operations) is to build the lists of elements, traverse these lists
%% in parallel while building a reversed ackumulator list, and finally
%% rebuild the tree directly from the ackumulator. Other methods of
%% traversing the elements can be devised, but they all have higher

%% If the length of the first list is too small in comparison with the

%% the element list of the target set for possible membership, compared
%% with the above version.

%% Some notes on sequential scanning of ordered lists
%%
%% 1) We want to put the equality case last, if we can assume that the
%% probability for overlapping elements is relatively low on average.
%% Doing this also allows us to completely skip the (arithmetic)
%% equality test, since the term order is arithmetically total.
%%
%% 2) We always test for `smaller than' first, i.e., whether the head of
%% the left list is smaller than the head of the right list, and if the
%% `greater than' test should instead turn out to be true, we switch
%% left and right arguments in the recursive call under the assumption
%% that the same is likely to apply to the next element also,
%% statistically reducing the number of failed tests and automatically
%% adapting to cases of lists having very different lengths. This saves
%% 10-40% of the traversation time compared to a "fixed" strategy,
%% depending on the sizes and contents of the lists.
%%
%% 3) A tail recursive version using `lists:reverse/2' is about 5-10%
%% faster than a plain recursive version using the stack, for lists of
%% more than about 20 elements and small stack frames. For very short
%% lists, however (length < 10), the stack version can be several times
%% faster. As stack frames grow larger, the advantages of using
%% `reverse' could get greater.
