插值搜索是二分搜索的一种改进变体。这种搜索算法基于所需值的探测位置。为了使该算法正常工作，数据集合应以排序且均匀分布的形式存在。

二分搜索在时间复杂度方面相较于线性搜索具有巨大优势。线性搜索的最坏情况复杂度为 Ο(n)，而二分搜索为 Ο(log n)。

在某些情况下，目标数据的存储位置可以提前知道。例如，在电话簿中，如果我们想搜索“Morpheus”的电话号码。在这里，线性搜索甚至二分搜索都会显得缓慢，因为我们可以直接跳转到存储以'M'开头的名称的内存空间。

二分搜索中的定位

在二分搜索中，如果未找到所需数据，则其余列表将被分成两部分，较低部分和较高部分。搜索将在其中一个部分进行。

即使数据已排序，二分搜索也不会利用探测所需数据位置的优势。

插值搜索中的位置探测

插值搜索通过计算探测位置来查找特定项。最初，探测位置是集合中最中间项的位置。

Position_Probing_in_Interpolation_Search

probe_position

如果找到匹配项，则返回该项的索引。为了将列表分成两部分，我们使用以下方法：

$$mid\, =\, Lo\, +\, \frac{\left ( Hi\, -\, Lo \right )\ast \left ( X\, -\, A\left [ Lo \right ] \right )}{A\left [ Hi \right ]\, -\, A\left [ Lo \right ]}$$

其中：

A = list
Lo = Lowest index of the list
Hi = Highest index of the list
A[n] = Value stored at index n in the list

如果中间项大于该项，则在中间项右侧的子数组中再次计算探测位置。否则，在中间项左侧的子数组中搜索该项。此过程也将在子数组上继续，直到子数组的大小减小到零。

由于它是现有 BST 算法的改进，因此我们提到了使用位置探测搜索“目标”数据值索引的步骤：

1. Start searching data from middle of the list. 
2. If it is a match, return the index of the item, and exit. 
3. If it is not a match, probe position. 
4. Divide the list using probing formula and find the new middle. 
5. If data is greater than middle, search in higher sub-list. 
6. If data is smaller than middle, search in lower sub-list. 
7. Repeat until match.

伪代码

A → Array list
N → Size of A
X → Target Value

Procedure Interpolation_Search()

   Set Lo → 0
   Set Mid → -1
   Set Hi → N-1

   While X does not match
      if Lo equals to Hi OR A[Lo] equals to A[Hi]
         EXIT: Failure, Target not found
      end if

      Set Mid = Lo + ((Hi - Lo) / (A[Hi] - A[Lo])) * (X - A[Lo])

      if A[Mid] = X
         EXIT: Success, Target found at Mid
      else
         if A[Mid] < X
            Set Lo to Mid+1
         else if A[Mid] > X
            Set Hi to Mid-1
         end if
      end if
   End While
End Procedure

分析

插值搜索算法的运行时复杂度为 Ο(log (log n))，而在有利情况下，BST 的运行时复杂度为 Ο(log n)。

示例

为了理解插值搜索中涉及的逐步过程，让我们看一个示例并围绕它进行操作。

考虑下面给出的已排序元素数组：

array_of_sorted_elements

让我们搜索元素 19。

解决方案

与二分搜索不同，在这种方法中，中间点是使用以下公式选择的：

$$mid\, =\, Lo\, +\, \frac{\left ( Hi\, -\, Lo \right )\ast \left ( X\, -\, A\left [ Lo \right ] \right )}{A\left [ Hi \right ]\, -\, A\left [ Lo \right ]}$$

因此，在此给定的数组输入中，

Lo = 0, A[Lo] = 10
Hi = 9, A[Hi] = 44
X = 19

应用公式查找列表中的中间点，我们得到

$$mid\, =\, 0\, +\, \frac{\left ( 9\, -\, 0 \right )\ast \left ( 19\, -\, 10 \right )}{44\, -\, 10}$$

$$mid\, =\, \frac{9\ast 9}{34}$$

$$mid\, =\, \frac{81}{34}\,=\,2.38$$

由于 mid 是索引值，因此我们只考虑小数的整数部分。即，mid = 2。

at_index_2

将给定的键元素（即 19）与存在于中间索引处的元素进行比较，发现这两个元素匹配。

因此，该元素位于索引 2 处。
