• A pointer needs lg n bits to address n different locations.
• Using pointers to represent the linking relation of a graph will therefore occupy (n lg n) bits.

Outline
• To store a binary tree in asymptotically optimal space– Represent a tree in O(n) bits– Efficient tree-traversal in space-efficient trees
• To store planar graphs in asymptotically optimal space
1. Mark all the nodes of the tree with 1.
2. Add external nodes to the tree, and mark them all with 0.
3. Read off the makes of nodes of the tree in level-order.

• How to compute the linking relations in a space-efficient tree?
Rank and Select
• Define two operations rank(m) and select(m) as follows:
rank(m): Counts the number of 1s from position 1 up to position m in a binary stringselect(m): Finds the m-th 1s in a binary string
• Example:
rank(10) = 7select(7) = 10

• How to compute rank(m) and select(m) efficiently? (e.g. constant time)
The rank directory:• Conceptually break the bit-string into blocks of length
lg2n. Keep a table containing the number of 1s up to the last position in each block. This takes n / lg n bits.
• Break each block into sub-blocks of length ½lg n. Keep a table containing the number of 1s within the block up to the last position in each sub-block. This takes n lglg2n / lg n bits.
• Keep a pre-computed table giving the number of 1s up to every possible position in every possible distinct sub-block.

Planar Graphs in O(n) Space• Represent a special case of planar graphs called one-p
age graphs in O(n) bits
• k-page graphs can be represented in O(kn) bits• Any planar graph can be embedded in a four-page gra

One-page graph

• How to compute the linking relations in the parenthesis string?
Finding the close parenthesis which match the open one• First, break the string of parentheses into bloc
ks of length lgn.
Definitions
Far parenthesis:
An open parenthesis p is called a far parenthesis if and only if p's matching parenthesis lies outside its own block.
Pioneer:
A far parenthesis is a pioneer if and only if its matching parenthesis lies in a different block that of the previous far parenthesis.
The number of pioneers is at most 2lgn.
Dotted lines denote the matches of far parenthesesRed ones denote the matches of pioneers
Use a Directory Structure of Size O(n) bits for Matching P
arentheses
Matching Parentheses
• For a parenthesis p, its matching parenthesis q can be found out as follows:
Case1: p and q are in the same block
Using precomputed table
lgn
Matching Parentheses• Case2: p and q are not in the same block
Find the pioneer of p and use it to locate the block containing q
Compute the position of q via nesting depths

Conclusion
• A space-efficient data structureachieve almost optimal space while supporting the required operations almost as efficient as using pointers to represent it.
