 * Implements a union find structure that uses union by rank and path
 * compression. The union by rank guarantees worst case find time of O(log N),
 * while Tarjan shows that in combination with path compression (halving) the
 * average time for an arbitrary sequence of m >= n operations is
 * O(m*alpha(m,n)), where alpha is the inverse of the Ackermann function,
 * defined as follows:
 * <code>alpha(m,n) = min{i &gt;= 1 | A(i, floor(m/n)) &gt; log n} for m &gt;= n &gt;= 1</code>
 * Which yields almost constant time for each individual operation.
