Say c = 2ⁿ + k, where k < 2ⁿ. Then, these 2 are equivalent: choosing an element [0...c] times and choosing subsets of {2⁰, 2¹...2^n - 1, k + 1} where an element of subset is the number of times we choose the element.

So then we can compute the maximum value of min(dp[i—1][k] + X, W + k * B) + cost[i] * k, where k takes c_i different values by splitting the interval into O(logc_i) intervals and taking max from each?

Isn't that slower than the solution using a queue?

It's indeed as you said, but we can achieve the previously said complexity:

We have dp[i][j] = max(dp[i][j], min(dp[i — 1][j — k] + X, W + (j — k) * B) — cost[i] * k). Let's get a new k = j — old k. Now, dp[i][j] = max(dp[i][j], min(dp[i — 1][k] + X, W + (k) * B) + cost[i] * (k — j)). We can take -cost[i] * j from inside to get

dp[i][j] = -cost[i] * j + max(dp[i][j], min(dp[i — 1][k] + X, W + (k) * B) + cost[i] * k)

Now we can use a Max_queue (push element, pop element as in a queue but answers what's the max inside the queue) to solve it in O(n * sum(birds)). Edit: since nothing inside the max/min depends on j

For 922B - Magic Forest it is possible to write a bruteforce solution and just calculate answer for all possible input dynamically (O(n^3) with no optimisation). And then use pre-calculated answers in final submission.

No, it's not possible, it will be tle because n is too large for O(n^3) to fit in a 1s time limit.

Briefly: it is not hard to proof that cnt_s and cnt_h in (s[i] + s[j]) and in (s[j] + s[i]) equals. So answer will depend only on their relative location.

We can sort all s_i with any n·logn sort algorithm, using ans(s[i] + s[j]) > ans(s[j] + s[i]) as compare function.

Then build string t from sorted array s₁, s₂, ..., s_n and output ans(t).

What's wrong with the solution of the editorial? Have you read it?

If there are no repeated remainders in n % 1, n % 2, ..., n % 43, then it has to be the case that n % 1 = 0, n % 2 = 1, n % 3 = 2, ..., n % 43 = 42. This is equivalent to 1 | n + 1, 2 | n + 1, ..., 43 | n + 1. Therefore also LCM(1, 2, ..., 43) | n + 1, so 9419588158802421600 | n + 1. Therefore this is only possible if n >= 9419588158802421599.

x < j: in that case the third number is smaller than the second, which is not allowed. The statement say that we have to count tripples (a, b, c) with a ≤ b ≤ c.
i + j < x: if this is the case than we don't have a triangle. E.g. try to draw a triangle with the side lengths 1, 1, and 3. Impossible. For more information: Existance of a triange

m is the least number such that e(m) >= k. so e(m-1) < k. between m and m-1 you removed edges of divisors of m. so e(m)-number of divisors of m < k, so e(m)-k < number of divisors of m. and number of divisors of m has (approximately) an upper bound of m^(1/3)

My AC solution to F: http://codeforces.me/contest/922/submission/35125488

First I find the least m where e(m) >= k (like in the editorial). then I see how many edges should be removed to reach k, let their name be "excess". I followed a greedy approach where: while excess != 0, I remove the node from the interval [floor(m/2)+1, m] which has the greatest number of divisors and this number of divisors is <= excess, then subtract this number from excess. I know that the initial value of excess is O(m^(1/3)), but why does this greedy approach always succeed ?

← Rev. 2 →

For the cases where the number of primes in the interval [floor(m/2)+1, m] is >= excess it succeeds because the primes will always make it possible to reach k. but for the 16 possible counters mentioned in the editorial, why does this approach succeed ?

My solution 35116450 for Problem F uses the idea in GreenGrape's 35055945 solution with only difference in that I did upper_bound over all numbers (not only over primes) and surprisingly it got AC. Fortunately it happened after the contest, to be fair with others. Seems like the acceptance criteria is much less intimidating than the problem statement looks.

if (c1 == 0)
{
	val = INT_MAX;
}

I think this is the opposite of what you wanted to do? If c1 equals to 0, that means there are no 's', so it should go to the end of the final string.

For example, the answer of 2 sh h

should be 2 with the string "shh", but your code make it "hsh" so it prints 1 instead.

Also, the answer could exceed the range of int, like in case of you have 50000 's' first then 50000 'h', which makes the answer 2.5 billion.

Let us solve this problem step by step.

First, take the bird as an item, the number of birds is the amount of this item，the bag volume in this problem is not necessary to defined accurately, for your convenienc,you can take the sum(c) as the bag volume :D

In this problem, the choice of birds is in a certain order.“Moving only forward",but in the knapsack,we actually consider each item in the order we specify.

for(int i = 1; i <= n; ++i)   //consider each item in the order we specify. 
    for(int j = sumc; j >= a[i]; --j)

right? So it doesn't affect us to solve this problem.

Now, this problem turns into a multiple knapsack problem（I don't know the exact English name of this problem，but i think u can understand it , right?）

Let's study how to solve this simple problem before adding other conditions，one of the ways is to dismantling the same items into different items (but their volume is the same, in this problem each bird's volume is 1,value is -cost[i]).

The problem becomes a common knapsack problem.

For instance，you have You have 6 A items and 4 B items,You can think of them as 10 things, but some things are the same volume and same value.

By the way,The best way to split it is this：

for example , you have 16 A items you can dismantle them into 1,2,4,8,1(2 ^ n ). You just have to think about the 5 pieces that are split up.

Next, it's time to solve the problem completely.

mana capacity indicates that the current backpack value cannot exceed this upper limit,and after putting the bird in the backpack, the value of the knapsack cannot be negative (mana exhausted).You need to solve the maximum volume of knapsack that can be filled up under this restriction( Of course, it can't exceed the total number of birds, that is sum (c).）

my english not very well , if u cant understand,you can see my code http://codeforces.me/contest/922/submission/35191705

Of course, in fact, just dp[maxc] is enough,A bit of redundancy in this code

It's not recursively, and if you need it, I can write a code to show u

Maybe some details I forgot to answer
