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:

  1. The minimum absolute difference between  adjacent element over the range [0, 3] is min(|2 - 6|, |6 - 1|, |1 - 8|) = 4.
  2. The minimum absolute difference between  adjacent element over the range [1, 5] is min(|6 - 1|, |1 - 8|, |8 - 3|, |3 - 4| ) = 1.
  3. 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:


 

  1. Initialize a global array lookup[][] for the sparse array.
  2. 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].
  3. 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]].
  4. 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.
  5. Initialize an array diff[] of size N and store the absolute differences of arr[i]-arr[i+1] for every value of i.
  6. Call the function Min_difference(diff, N-1, q, m) to find the minimum absolute difference for each query.
