Question:
Suppose we implement the tree-based union-find data structure using the unionby-size heuristic and a partial path-compression heuristic. The partial path compression in this case means that, after performing a sequence of pointer hops for a find operation, we update the parent pointer for each node u along this path to point to its grandparent. Show that the total running time for performing m union and find operations, starting with n singleton sets, is still O((n+m)α(n)) in this case.
