Queries to find minimum absolute difference between adjacent array elements in given ranges

Last Updated : 13 Jun, 2022

Given an array arr[] consisting of N integers and an array query[] consisting of queries of the form {L, R}, the task for each query is to find the minimum of the absolute difference between adjacent elements over the range [L, R].

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {2, 6, 1, 8, 3, 4}, query[] = {{0, 3}, {1, 5}, {4, 5}}
Output:
4
1
1
Explanation:
Following are the values of queries performed:

The minimum absolute difference between adjacent element over the range [0, 3] is min(|2 – 6|, |6 – 1|, |1 – 8|) = 4.

The minimum absolute difference between adjacent element over the range [1, 5] is min(|6 – 1|, |1 – 8|, |8 – 3|, |3 – 4| ) = 1.

The minimum absolute difference between adjacent element over the range [4, 5] is min(|3 – 4|) = 1.

Therefore, print 4, 1, 1 as the results of the given queries.

Input: arr[] = [10, 20, 1, 1, 5 ], query[] = [0, 1], [1, 4], [2, 3]
Output:
10
0
0

Naive Approach: The simplest approach to solve the given problem is to create an array diff[] that stores the absolute difference between adjacent elements for each array element. Now for each query, traverse the array diff[] over the range [L, R – 1] and print the value of minimum all the values in the range [L, R – 1].

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Structure for query range
struct Query {
    int L, R;
};
 
int MAX = 5000;
 
// Function to find the minimum difference
// between adjacent array element over the
// given range [L, R] for Q Queries
void minDifference(int arr[], int n,
                   Query q[], int m)
{
 
    // Find the sum of all queries
    for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
 
        // Left and right boundaries
        // of current range
        int L = q[i].L, R = q[i].R;
 
        int ans = MAX;
        for (int i = L; i < R; i++) {
            ans = min(ans, arr[i]);
        }
 
        // Print  the sum of the
        // current query range
        cout << ans << '\n';
    }
}
 
// Function to find the minimum absolute
// difference of adjacent array elements
// for the given range
void minimumDifference(int arr[], Query q[],
                       int N, int m)
{
 
    // Stores the absolute difference of
    // adjacent elements
    int diff[N];
 
    for (int i = 0; i < N - 1; i++)
        diff[i] = abs(arr[i] - arr[i + 1]);
 
    // Find the minimum difference of
    // adjacent elements
    minDifference(diff, N - 1, q, m);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 2, 6, 1, 8, 3, 4 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    Query Q[] = { { 0, 3 }, { 1, 5 }, { 4, 5 } };
    int M = sizeof(Q) / sizeof(Q[0]);
 
    minimumDifference(arr, Q, N, M);
 
    return 0;
}

Time Complexity: O(N²)
Auxiliary Space: O(N)

Efficient Approach: The above approach can also be optimized by using the Sparse Table that supports query in constant time O(1) with extra space O(N log N). Instead of passing original arr[] pass diff[] to get the required answer. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Initialize a global array lookup[][] for the sparse array.
Define a function preprocess(arr, N) and perform the following operations:
- Iterate over the range [0, N) using the variable i and set the value of lookup[i][0] as i.
- Iterate over the range [1, N) using the variable j and i nestedly and if arr[lookup[i][j-1]] is less than arr[lookup[i + (1 << (j-1))][j-1], then set lookup[i][j] as lookup[i][j-1], otherwise set lookup[i][j] as lookup[i + (1 << (j – 1))][j – 1].
Define a function query(int arr[], int L, int M) and perform the following operations:
- Initialize the variable j as (int)log2(R – L + 1).
- If arr[lookup[L][j]] is less than equal to arr[lookup[R – (1 << j) + 1][j]], then return arr[lookup[L][j]], else return arr[lookup[R – (1 << j) + 1][j]].
Define a function Min_difference(arr, n, q, m) and perform the following operations:
- Call the function preprocess(arr, n) to preprocess the sparse array.
- Traverse the given array of queries Q[] and the value returned by the function query(arr, L, R – 1) gives the result for the current query.
Initialize an array diff[] of size N and store the absolute differences of arr[i]-arr[i+1] for every value of i.
Call the function Min_difference(diff, N-1, q, m) to find the minimum absolute difference for each query.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define MAX 500
 
// Stores the index for the minimum

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        lookup[i][0] = i;
 
    // Find the values from smaller

    for (int j = 1; (1 << j) <= n; j++) {
 
        // Compute minimum value for
        // all intervals with size 2^j
