In D why is this approach wrong? (Wa on test 5)

I have dp[begin][end][cuts]

and if cut is 0 it is just the sum of begin to end

Else i can cut it at any of the location from begin to end and see the cuts from begin to cut_position and cut_position + 1 to end.

There is no guarantee that when choosing to cut at some point, the optimal AND value is obtained by the maximum possible values for the resulting two subarrays. Consider the pairs [5,5] and [5,2]. [5,2] gives us a better AND value (7), but your solution would choose [5,5].

Find the answer bit by bit. Start with answer equal to zero. Then for i from 60 to 0, check if you can obtain a solution with answer + 2ⁱ. If you can, just add.

Checking if there is a solution with a fixed answer can by done with dp[position][parts]. To compute a state, try to fix a new position and consider dp[newposition][parts + 1] if the sum in the interval [position;newposition] contains the bits of the fixed value as a subset, in other words (sum&FixedValue) = FixedValue.

What I did:

It is trivial to show that in first i shelves, there should be i books in minimum and i+n-k books in maximum, and so the dp array is only valid in such range. A complete dp[i][j] can be computed by [all values in dp[i-1][i-1~j-1]] & [appropriate range sum of input array].

I had a O((N / 64) * Q log(N)) solution with the offline dynamic connectivity strategy ( http://codeforces.net/blog/entry/15296?#comment-203606 ).

Basically you do divide-and-conquer, keeping up a bitset representing the values attainable with currently active segments.

At every step, you first make all segments that cover the current interval active, then recurse to the left half of the segment and to the right half of the segment.

At bottom level, you OR the current bitset with the result bitset.

You can add the points where a interval becomes active to a segment tree. Every interval becomes active at most log(N) times, so a interval becomes active Q log(N) times, so the complexity is O((N / 64) * Q log(N)).

Then I do sweepline, adding and removing values.

When removing, I sort of undo by reversing the way how the dp is processed.

I basically did the same but with one large modulo instead of two small ones.

Create events "segment starts" and "segment ends", order them by the coordinate, and maintain the knapsack array "f[x] is the number of ways to get x". Inverting the knapsack update loop is straightforward.

If we stored the actual number of ways, this would certainly be a right solution. However, the actual number may be too large, so we store it modulo some number, which makes the solution fast but hackable with only moderate effort. Still, there were only few submissions for this problems per room, so the hacking did not occur.

Edit: And this thread discusses the same solution.

My solution is completely different. For each query I stored the value x_i in $\text{[math]}$ nodes in a Segment tree (each node stores a vector of values), and then took the bitset 10000000000... and pushed it downwards to the leaf nodes. The OR of all leaf nodes then tell us which values are possible and which are not.

Complexity should be $\text{[math]}$ .

This is what I did in the actual contest (I didn't wanted to think more, had to code quick) but I think there are much nicer O(qn) solution.

Suppose that all queries have L_i = 1. You can do the following : we don't see DP[i] as a boolean array, but an integer array maximizing the minimum endpoint among all queries that it used. For each i, you can take j iff DP[j] ≥ i. This approach can be extended without restriction on L — do the "sweep" over increasing i, inserting query j when L_j = i. Similar problem is here.

This part is wrong.

for(int el:to_upd[v]){
    to_upd[v<<1].push_back(el);
    to_upd[v<<1|1].push_back(el);
}

Imagine that all Q queries are of the form (1, N, 1). Then you will push the 1s down, so that each to_upd[v] (with v being a leaf node) contain Q elements. And then the runtime will be O(N³) (N elements, each N queries with O(N) work for the bitwise OR).

The idea to speed it up is the following: If to_upd[1] (root node) contains multiple elements, then you can immediately apply them to a bitset. This way you only have to do the operation bs |= bs << x only to_upd[1].size(), and not to_upd[1].size() * n. And similarly with the other nodes. Then propagate the bitset to the two child nodes, and not all values in to_upd.

6 лет назад, # ^ |

I also had some trouble figuring this out. But now I got it.

You can think of it in this way: dp[i+x] consists of the ways that include the summand x, and of the ways that don't include the summand x. Let's say dp[i+x] = dp_with[i+x] + dp_without[i+x]. The goal is to compute dp_without[i+x], which is dp[i+x] - dp_with[i+x].

Now, dp_with[i+x] is clearly the same as dp_without[i], since we can make a bijection between each combination with the sum i without the summand x and each combination with the sum i+x with the summand x.

Now, notice that dp_without[i] = dp[i] for all i < x, and because radolav11 computes the values with increasing i, he can just ignore the helper array dp_without and store the result directly in dp.

I don't remember what segment tree beats are (other than that the name evokes someone beating a segment tree with a stick), but my solution was keeping sets for all intervals containing x for each x, using it to extract intervals of multisets to multiply by 2 and intervals of multisets to add 1 to; these 2 types of queries (+ get sum) can be handled with a fairly normal lazy segment tree. $\text{[math]}$ since there are only O(Q) intervals to update.

Keep sum, mul and add for each segment.

when sending mul and add down to sons, first multiply them by mul and then add add to them

Here's a more detailed editorial: binary search on the answer. For each b_i, expand it to an interval c_i = [b_i - x, b_i + x]. Now we need to see if there's a matching between the a_i and these intervals c_i where a point and an interval can be matched if the interval contains that point.

If this were a line, it would be easy: sweep through the intervals left to right, pick the first point in the interval. However, we're on a circle, so intervals that cross the origin are tricky. To simplify it, "unroll" the line and double it. If an interval was originally [l, r] with l ≤ r, then add intervals [l, r] and [l + L, r + L]. Otherwise, just add the single interval. Now we have at most 2n points and intervals and run the linear matching algorithm as described above. Hall's theorem tells us that this unrolling is equivalent to a matching on the circle.

Thanks for the details! I don't really get why Hall's theorem says that the unrolling is equivalent. Could you elaborate?

Sure.

Initially, we have two sets of length n, A = {a₁, a₂, ..., a_n} and B = {b₁, b₂, ... b_n}. Now when we do this unrolling process, we get two new sets A' = {a'₁, a'₂, ... a'_n, a'_n + 1, ... a_2n} and C = {c₁, c₂, ..., c_m} where a'_i = a_i%n and c_i = [b_i - x, b_i + x]. Note that we use m instead of n because b_i might map to two c_i. n ≤ m ≤ 2n.

We have a perfect matching between A' and C. Let's apply Hall's theorem. Consider some set S', which is a subset of these a'_i. Then because we have a matching, |S'| ≤ |N(S')|, where N(S') is the set of c_i that are connected to some node in S'.

Now, to prove that there's a perfect matching between A and B, we use Hall's theorem in the other direction. Choose some subset of nodes in A, call it S. Then what is |N(S)|? Let's define S' as a subset of A' having BOTH copies of a_i for every a_i in A. Then we know by the previous paragraph that |S'| ≤ |N(S')|. Since 2|S| = |S'| and 2|N(S)| ≥ |N(S')|:

$\text{[math]}$

|S| ≤ |N(S)|, so there's a matching in the original graph.

I think it's wrong proof.

1) Forget about the case, when |C| = 2 × n, because in this case there are no intervals, that crossing the origin and this case can be easily solved, as mention above.

2) But if you have at least one crossing the origin interval, that it means, that |C| = m < 2 × n. After that you are not able to have perfect matching, because the sizes of components are different.

3) So, I suppose you want to say, that you have the matching, where one part is covered by matching full. But again you told: "Consider some set S', which is a subset of these a'_i. Then because we have a matching, |S'| ≤ |N(S')|, where N(S') is the set of c_i that are connected to some node in S'.". If you take S' = A', than you have: $\text{[math]}$ , but $\text{[math]}$ , contradiction.

Then the model solution just sucks, author should come up with better algorithm.

I don’t understand how can mod 998244353 ever be a good idea. The author requires large constant factor to solve the original problem, and to overcome it they use some peculiar modulos that is known to be useful for a limited number of audiences. For someone to easily solve that problem, they should knew that “magic number” beforehand, and the fact that they have good primitive roots. Sounds pretty bad to me.

I doubt that. Splitting numbers in two groups is still faster than making computations modulo some number. And it works for every mod.

→ Ответить

6 лет назад, # ^ |

Karatsuba works for every mod, doesn't need too many modulo operations, has a nice constant, works exactly (no doubles) and if the use of FFT is complex enough — the problem isn't just reduced to a single FFT or one of garden variety D&C+FFT versions — the constraints are often long enough that Karatsuba can pass. Its only disadvantage is asymptotic complexity. Actually, even D&C+Karatsuba has complexity equal to Karatsuba only.

I don't like problems that require FFT with 10⁹ + 7 modulo. Why is it better? Only because simple fractions like $\text{[math]}$ looks nicer? Not a big argument.

NTT has much shorter code, which is important in ACM-style contests, where you don't have any prewritten code, and it works absolutely with same speed. When I tested FFT vs NTT, difference in execution time was about 20%, and one of them was faster on G++, and another was faster on mingw, so they are absolutely equal in my opinion (only FFT requires slightly more memory, which can be critical in some cases).

→ Ответить

6 лет назад, # ^ |

← Rev. 2 →

I think I'll continue giving 10⁹ + 7 in my FFT problems though :)

It is better because it forces you write more generic solution and doesn't indicate key idea just from mod (giving NTT mod in every problem is even worse, in my opinion). You can use NTT with two primes + Chinese remainder theorem if you dislike that. It's much slower though...

The solution is simple, for dp[index][count], maintain the top 20 bitwise-and sum that ends at index with count blocks. It seems true to me that there exist cases which fail this solution(cases which you need some smaller and-sum in the middle-way).

So, can anyone suggest a way to generate the hack? Or there are some ways to prove that this solution is indeed correct?

Hi everyone.

For problem D , Initially I read like, we can divide 'K' subsets in any order. (Not necessarily contiguous segments of array) .

Is it really possible to solve it ?

In last 25 minutes I read it again, and figured out Greedy-DP solution. which seems like HACK to me. And still the solution passed. I was hoping this solution to fail. Can someone tell me, is it possible to hack this solution ?

Basically I am picking up best 8000 values for each dp[i][j] , where 'i' is index, and 'j' is number of shelf's being used till index 'i'.

When you have a problem that involves AND operation is a bad idea to use max because not necessarily if you return a max number you guarantee a better answer, for example:

11 & 4 = 0
11 & 3 = 3

What happened here? 4 is greater than 3 but if we return 4 we get the worst answer.

A observation first: We will see if we can obtain in the final sum, every bit from 60 to 0. (We must find some configuration such that every shelf contains in the sum of the values that bit)
If we can obtain a bit, then we add it to the answer, and when we try for a new bit, we always respect the bits that are already found.

I have solved it using dynamic programming dp[i][j][h] -> true or false, if we can put the first i books into j shelves such that each shelve has the bit h in its sum. (And also respects all the higher bits found previously)

Let's say for example that you are at bit 5, and you know that you have found good configurations that can have bits 8, 10 and 15. (The answer until now is 2⁸ + 2¹⁰ + 2¹⁵). When computing dp[i][j][5] we have to find some index i2 (smaller than i) such that sum(i2, i) contains 2⁵ + 2⁸ + 2¹⁰ + 2¹⁵, and dp[i2][j - 1][5] is also true (which means that the first i2 books can be put in j-1 shelves such that their total sum contains 2⁵ + 2⁸ + 2¹⁰ + 2¹⁵)
