Fusionar K listas enlazadas ordenadas | Serie 1

Dadas K listas enlazadas ordenadas de tamaño N cada una, combínelas e imprima la salida ordenada.

Ejemplos: 

Input: k = 3, n =  4
list1 = 1->3->5->7->NULL
list2 = 2->4->6->8->NULL
list3 = 0->9->10->11->NULL

Output: 0->1->2->3->4->5->6->7->8->9->10->11
Merged lists in a sorted order 
where every element is greater 
than the previous element.

Input: k = 3, n =  3
list1 = 1->3->7->NULL
list2 = 2->4->8->NULL
list3 = 9->10->11->NULL

Output: 1->2->3->4->7->8->9->10->11
Merged lists in a sorted order 
where every element is greater 
than the previous element.

Método 1 (Simple) :

Enfoque: una solución simple es inicializar el resultado como la primera lista. Ahora recorra todas las listas a partir de la segunda lista. Inserte cada Node de la lista recorrida actualmente en el resultado de forma ordenada.

Análisis de Complejidad: 

  • Complejidad del tiempo: O(nk 2 )
  • Espacio Auxiliar: O(1). 
    Como no se requiere espacio adicional.

Método 2 : montón mínimo

Una mejor solución es usar una solución basada en Min Heap que se analiza aquí para arreglos. La complejidad temporal de esta solución sería O(nk Log k)
  
Método 3 : divide y vencerás

En esta publicación, se analiza el enfoque Divide and Conquer . Este enfoque no requiere espacio adicional para el montón y funciona en O(nk Log k).
Se sabe que la fusión de dos listas enlazadas se puede realizar en O(n) tiempo y O(n) espacio. 

  1. La idea es emparejar K listas y fusionar cada par en tiempo lineal usando el espacio O(n).
  2. Después del primer ciclo, se dejan listas K/2 cada una de tamaño 2*N. Después del segundo ciclo, se dejan listas K/4 cada una de tamaño 4*N y así sucesivamente.
  3. Repita el procedimiento hasta que solo nos quede una lista.

A continuación se muestra la implementación de la idea anterior.

Análisis de Complejidad: 

     Suponiendo que N(n*k) es el número total de Nodes, n es el tamaño de cada lista vinculada y k es el número total de listas vinculadas.

  • Complejidad de tiempo: O(N*log k) u O(n*k*log k)
    Como ciclo while externo en la función mergeKLists() ejecuta log k veces y cada vez que procesa n*k elementos.
  • Espacio auxiliar: O(N) u O(n*k)
    Debido a que la recursividad se usa en SortedMerge() y para fusionar las 2 listas enlazadas finales de tamaño N/2, se realizarán N llamadas recursivas.

 Método 4:   seleccionar el mínimo del elemento superior de forma iterativa

Enfoque: seleccione el mínimo de los elementos superiores de forma iterativa, guárdelo en un nuevo Node e incremente el puntero del elemento mínimo.

Complejidad temporal: O(n*k 2
Espacio auxiliar: O(n)

Tomemos un ejemplo para entender la Complejidad del Tiempo

array[0] = 0->1->2->NULO

array[1] = 3->4->5->NULO

array[2] = 6->7->8->NULO

norte = 3 k = 3

He tomado este ejemplo para que entiendas la complejidad de una manera fácil.

De acuerdo con el enfoque, encontramos 0 como el elemento mínimo en los primeros k Nodes, para encontrar esto tomaremos K tiempo. 

De manera similar, encontramos 1 como mínimo en K tiempo, este proceso se ejecuta para N Nodes en la primera lista, por lo que el tiempo necesario será O (NK) para arr [0], después de esto, nuestro elemento mínimo vendrá en el resto dos listas, por lo que nuestro bucle funciona para K-1 y para la segunda lista, el tiempo necesario será N*K-1. Este proceso continuará hasta que fusionemos todos los Nodes de todas las listas.

Entonces la ecuación puede ser 

NK + N*K-1 + N*K-2 + …… + N * 1

N(K+ K-1 + K-2 + … + 1)

Que es igual a O (N*K^2)
