Oiling Car Problem

Description

一辆汽车加满油后可行驶 n 公里。旅途中有若干个加油站。设计一个有效算法,指出应

在哪些加油站停靠加油,使沿途加油次数最少。并证明算法能产生一个最优解。

Input

由文件 input.txt 给出输入数据。第一行有 2 个正整数 n 和 k,表示汽车加满油后可行驶

n 公里,且旅途中有 k 个加油站。接下来的 1 行中,有 k+1 个整数,表示第 k 个加油站与第

k-1 个加油站之间的距离。第 0 个加油站表示出发地,汽车已加满油。第 k+1 个加油站表示

目的地。

Output

将编程计算出的最少加油次数输出到文件 output.txt。如果无法到达目的地,则输出”No

Solution”。

Sample

Analysis

将该题建模在上,设节点加油站,而的权重表示两个加油站之间的距离,设汽车初始位置在节点0

加油站根据题目所给的相对距离,也建立在数轴上。

同时,合并我们的终点最后一个加油站

也就是说,我们实际上将源点终点也一般化为加油站

我们将起点视为第0个加油站距离前一个加油站的距离 = 0

同时将终点视为第k个加油站

从而,我们得到加油站列表$a_0,\cdots,a_k$

这样有利于算法逻辑的统一,方便算法进行初始化。

函数$cost(path) = \sum{i=0}^{k}{|a_i - a{i+1}|}$

假设有任意一个策略为$p_1$,

路径$$p_2$为在策略$p_1$$的基础上对路径做出如下修改的策略

路径$ai, a_i \quad (i \gt 0)$修改为$(a_i, a{i-1}, \cdots, a_{i-1}, a_i)$

而由于$cost{(a{i-1},\cdots,a{i-1})} \ge 0$,

所以包含这一段子路径并不会对我们减少加油次数有帮助。

因而,我们得出结论:任何包含环的路径所得出的策略的加油次数,并不会好于把环去掉后的策略。也就是最优的策略必然是无环的路径。

由于要求达到优化目标为加油次数最少,但不限制每次加油的量,且每个加油站都可以把油量加到指定的n值,所以在任何加油站进行加油是没有区别的

所以,只需要尽可能地不进行加油即可达到最少的加油次数

如果初始时的油量是无穷的,则我们不需要进行任何加油。

但如果油量是有限的,我们除了需要满足能使得汽车到达下一个加油站即可。

而由于每个加油站除了距离前一个加油站的距离可能不同外,都是相同的加油站

因而,我们只需考虑当前油量是否足够让汽车从当前加油站到下一个即可。

从而,一旦汽车从当前加油站到达下一个加油站,则可以从原问题中删除掉这个加油站,而使得题目的性质没有发生改变

换句话说,每次仅考虑前k个加油站时获得的最优步骤,可以组成原问题的最优步骤

因此,我们采用这种策略可以获得最优解。

Optimal Merge Problem

Description

给定k 个排好序的序列s1 ,s2 ,…,sk , 用 2 路合并算法将这k 个序列合并成一个序列。

假设所采用的 2 路合并算法合并 2 个长度分别为mn 的序列需要m + n - 1次比较。试设

计一个算法确定合并这个序列的最优合并顺序,使所需的总比较次数最少。

为了进行比较,还需要确定合并这个序列的最差合并顺序,使所需的总比较次数最多。

Input

由文件 input.txt 给出输入数据。第一行有 1 个正整数 k,表示有 k 个待合并序列。接下

来的 1 行中,有 k 个正整数,表示 k 个待合并序列的长度。

Output

Analysis

假设共有 $k$ 个给定的 序列长度 为 $s_1,s_2,\cdots, s_k$

第i轮开始时剩余的序列的数量 为 $k_i$

若需要使用 k路合并 将所有的 序列 都进行 归并,则 每一轮归并操作 需要进行的 比较次数 为 $k_i$,使得一个 元素 有序。

总共 $s_1 + s_2 + \cdots + s_k = s$ 个元素,共需要进行 $s$ 轮。

则整个过程 总共需要比较次数

由上式可以知道,每轮归并 取走 剩余序列中的其中一个序列的头部元素 所需要进行的 比较次数各个序列自身的长度 无关,仅与 当前剩余的序列数量 有关。

所以,可以得出结论:
