+\textcite{bender2000} show an \qpoptimal{} algorithm for the RMQ problem.
 
 Their method is as follows. First they show that a special case of the RMQ
 problem, $\pm1$ RMQ, can be solved in \qpoptimal. This restriction of the problem
 is enough to handle LCA queries. Then, for the general RMQ case, a Cartesian
