Chapter 12 Problem 12.33

Question

An alternative to the 2-d tree is the quad tree. Figure 12.52 shows how a plane ispartitioned by a quad tree. Initially we have a region (which is often a square, butneed not be). Each region may store one point. If a second point is inserted into aregion, then the region is split into four equal-sized quadrants (northeast, southeast,southwest, and northwest). If this places the points in different quadrants (aswhen p2 is inserted), we are done; otherwise, we continue splitting recursively (asis done when p5 is inserted).a. For a given set of N items, does the order of insertion affect the final partition?b. Show the final partition if the same elements that were in the 2-d tree inFigure 12.39 are inserted into the quad tree.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 33 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An alternative to the 2-d tree is the quad tree. Figure 12.52 shows how a plane ispartitioned by a quad tree. Initially we have a region (which is often a square, butneed not be). Each region may store one point. If a second point is inserted into aregion, then the region is split into four equal-sized quadrants (northeast, southeast,southwest, and northwest). If this places the points in different quadrants (aswhen p2 is inserted), we are done; otherwise, we continue splitting recursively (asis done when p5 is inserted).a. For a given set of N items, does the order of insertion affect the final partition?b. Show the final partition if the same elements that were in the 2-d tree inFigure 12.39 are inserted into the quad tree.
From the textbook chapter Advanced Data Structures and Implementation you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
