. Trapping Rain Water II

407. Reservoir II

Difficulty: Hard

Topics: Array, breadth-first search, heap (priority queue), matrix

Given an m x n integer matrix heightMap representing the height of each cell in a 2D elevation map, return the amount of water it can accumulate after it rains.

Example 1:

• Input: heightMap = [[1,4,3,1,3,2],[3,2,1,3,2,4],[2,3,3 ,2,3,1]]
• Output: 4
• Explanation: After it rains, water is trapped between blocks.
  • We have two small pools that hold 1 and 3 units of water respectively.
  • The total amount of water saved is 4.

Example 2:

• Input: heightMap = [[3,3,3,3,3],[3,2,2,2,3],[3,2,1,2,3 ],[3,2,2,2,3],[3,3,3,3,3]]
• Output: 10

Constraints:

• m == heightMap.length
• n == heightMap[i].length
• 1
• 0

Solution:

The "Reservoir II" problem is a challenging computational problem that requires us to calculate the amount of water accumulated after a rain falls on a two-dimensional elevation map (represented as a matrix). This problem extends the classic "reservoir" problem to two dimensions, making the solution more complex since flow in all directions needs to be considered.

Key points

1. Matrix Representation: The heightMap matrix contains the altitude of each cell.
2. Boundary constraint: Water cannot flow out of the boundary cell.
3. Heap data structure: Minimum heap (priority queue) is used to dynamically simulate water levels.
4. Visited Matrix: To avoid repeated visits to cells, we keep track of visited nodes.

Method

The solution utilizes the Breadth-First Search (BFS) approach, guided by the Priority Queue (Min Heap):

1. Add all boundary cells to the min-heap and mark them as visited.
2. Process cells in increasing height order:
   • For each cell, try to "hoard" water in its neighbors.
   • Push neighbor cells and their updated height values ​​into the heap.
3. Accumulate the amount of water accumulated based on the height difference between the current cell and its neighbors.

Plan

1. Initialization:

   • Define matrix dimensions and edge cases.
   • Initialize the min-heap for boundary cells.
   • Create a visited matrix.

2. Insert border cell:

   • Push all border cells and their height values ​​into the heap.
   • Mark it as visited.

3. BFS traversal:

   • When the heap is not empty, extract the cell with the smallest height.
   • Check all its neighbors and calculate the water reserves:
     • If the neighbor is lower, the height difference will increase the amount of water stored.
     • If the neighbor is taller, update the neighbor's height to the height of the current cell.
   • Push the neighbor into the heap and mark it as visited.

4. Return result:

   • The accumulated water volume represents the accumulated rainwater.

Let’s implement this solution in PHP: 407. Reservoir II

<?php
/**
 * @param Integer[][] $heightMap
 * @return Integer
 */
function trapRainWater($heightMap) {
    // ...  (解决方案代码将在此处) ...
}

// 示例用法
$heightMap1 = [[1, 4, 3, 1, 3, 2], [3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 4], [2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 1]];
$heightMap2 = [[3, 3, 3, 3, 3], [3, 2, 2, 2, 3], [3, 2, 1, 2, 3], [3, 2, 2, 2, 3], [3, 3, 3, 3, 3]];

echo trapRainWater($heightMap1) . "\n"; // 输出：4
echo trapRainWater($heightMap2) . "\n"; // 输出：10
?>

Explanation:

1. Boundary initialization:

   • All border cells are added to the pile to form the outer wall of the container.

2. Heap extraction:

   • Extract the cell with the lowest height to ensure that water can only flow outward and not inward.

3. Neighbor Exploration:

   • For each neighbor:
     • Check if it is in range and not accessed.
     • Calculate the amount of accumulated water as max(0, currentHeight - neighborHeight).
     • Push the updated neighbor height into the heap.

4. Accumulated water:

   • Add each neighbor's stored water amount to the total.

Sample Walkthrough

Enter:

<code>$heightMap = [
    [1, 4, 3, 1, 3, 2],
    [3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 4],
    [2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 1]
];</code>

Steps:

1. Border cell:

   • Push the border cell and its height into the heap:
     • For example: (0, 0, 1), (0, 1, 4), etc.

2. Heap traversal:

   • Extract cell (0, 0, 1) (lowest height).
   • Check on neighbors and calculate water savings:
     • For neighbor (1, 0): accumulated water = max(0, 1 - 3) = 0.

3. Saved water:

   • Continue processing until all cells have been visited:
     • Total amount of water saved = 4.

Time complexity

1. Heap operations:

   • Each cell is pushed and popped into the heap once: O(m n log(m * n)).

2. Neighbor Iteration:

   • Each cell has at most 4 neighbors: O(m * n).

Total complexity:

*O(m n log(m n))**

Example output

<code>$heightMap = [
    [1, 4, 3, 1, 3, 2],
    [3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 4],
    [2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 1]
];
echo trapRainWater($heightMap); // 输出：4</code>

The "Reservoir II" problem demonstrates the power of advanced data structures such as priority queues combined with BFS. By simulating water flow in a 2D elevation map, we can efficiently calculate the total amount of water stored. Due to its log-heap operation, this solution is optimal for processing large matrices.
