RMQ with Shifts |
In the traditional RMQ (Range Minimum Query) problem, we have a static array A. Then for each query (L, R) (LR), we report the minimum value among A[L], A[L + 1], ..., A[R]. Note that the indices start from 1, i.e. the left-most element is A[1].
In this problem, the array A is no longer static: we need to support another operation
For example, if A={6, 2, 4, 8, 5, 1, 4}, then shift(2, 4, 5, 7) yields {6, 8, 4, 5, 4, 1, 2}. After that, shift(1, 2) yields 8, 6, 4, 5, 4, 1, 2.
Warning: The dataset is large, better to use faster I/O methods.
