Several unexpected Kuhn solutions passed for D1F. Could you please discuss your solutions in the comments and prove its correctness or provide any counter-examples. Author's solution uses flows with Dinic.

Editorial is not completed yet. Problem D1F will be added later. Hope you enjoyed the problemset!

Editorial was/will be written by bthero and BledDest.

Our tester namanbansal013 has made amazing video-tutorials on YouTube for problems D2D/D1B and D2E/D1C. Make sure to check them out and show him some love!

Finally added the editorial for D1E. Currently it is very complicated and error-prone.

Okay, here are some observations that might help you.

Consider element x, if they are at indexes 'i' and 'j'(consecutive occurrence of element x), then for a block of length [j — i — 1] or lower we cannot have that element as answer.
Also, if we have element x as answer for length 'L', then that element can be considered as answer for block of length >= 'L'.

I think these two observations were enough for me to reach at solution.You can try too or I can explain if you are not able to reach to algorithm.

Please elaborate more. It will be very helpful.

+17

Okay so here is what we can conclude from above observations.

As we are to check for consecutive occurrence of element x, It makes sense to make an array of positions for each element x from 1 to N.
So, now our question breaks down to finding maximum gap(or block of length that is invalid) between two positions for element x.
Do this for each element from 1 to N, and update their answer in array 'maxgap' which stores the minimum element x, that is valid answer for blocks of length > maxgap.
Now just traverse from 1 to N, print the minimum element you have stored till now for 1 to i'th in 'maxgap', to get answer and update the minimum element till now.

Here is my code — Submission.

I hope it helped.

yes it is a very nice explanation.

priyanshkt67

if x has to be the minimum number in all segments of length k then in input array between every occurrence of x and its previous occurrence there should not be another segment of length >=k. For instance in {1,2,2,1,1} for k=2 and x=1 we have a segment {2,2} of length two and hence not all segment s of length 2 have '1' in common. Note: We have to consider index -1 and n+1 also as value equal to chosen x.(segment from beginning and end);

We can calculate this by maintaining a previous index for all the values we see traversing through array and updating the max distance between two same values. Then we can sort and find the min for every k.

Thanks for the quick editorial!

For div2b explanation, is the part "It is clear that f(X) = f(Y) = 0" a typo (since f(Z)=0, not f(Y))?

Okay, so let's make an observation if, for each distinct element, I know it's indices (could be stored by using a map to a set/vector), so let's say my current element is 'a' and it's distributed in the following manner in my array

x x x a x x x x a x x a x a x x x

(where x is an arbitrary element (x!=a) and a is our desired element)

so now let's compute the maximum difference between consecutive indices and the distance of first 'a' from the start and the distance of last 'a' from the end.

The consecutive differences are

[4 (dist. from start), 5, 3, 2, 4 (dist. from end)]

now the max diff from the above array is 5, so now for every sliding window of length 5 & more, I can ensure that at least one 'a' is present in each of the sliding window. (Can easily be visualized)

Thus, now as in an ordered_map, it's sorted according to its keys, so for each element, when I calculate the max diff for the indices of this element (let's say it's y), I can mark the answer for all length from y to n, as my current element. In the above loop (used for marking my answer), I would iterate only till a point where my answer isn't marked (as whenever I encounter a marked index, all the indices from that index to n would already be marked & as it's a map, it would definitely be marked with a smaller element!), and thus after that, I break the loop.

For all the indices that aren't marked, the answer would be -1.

Isn't the solution for 1B missing something ? The statement says that after each operation, all elements of the array should be non-negative. Edit: I now see that $$$a_1 \ge i-1$$$ at the $$$i$$$-th iteration.

richzli

+16

I think that this solution takes that into account. All array elements start greater or equal to 1. If we start accumulating the sum at $$$a[2]$$$, then we are guaranteed to at least add 2 to $$$a[1]$$$, meaning $$$a[1] \geq 2$$$. Then even if $$$a[3]\mod 3 \equiv 1$$$, it is guaranteed that we are able to add 2 to bring it to a multiple of 3, and turn $$$a[3]$$$ into 0. In this way the entire sum can be moved into $$$a[1]$$$.

Div2D/Div1B

"Otherwise, we have to make it divisible by transferring i−(ai mod i) from a1 to ai. Note that this operation does not break a condition on non-negativity because all ai are initially positive."

Why does this not break the condition? How are we guaranteed that a1 >= i-(ai mod i)?

EDIT: just figured it out after posting this comment. Since we iterate in increasing order of i, each element we've seen will contribute at least 1, so by the time we are at index i, a1 will have at least (i-1).

slayer_noob

Imagine you are at position pos and have successfully accumulated all 2..pos-1 piles into the pile at position 1. Since v[i] for all i is at least 1 you'll have at least pos-1 value in the first position. Notice that v[pos]%pos can be at max at pos-1. (although pos-(v[i]%pos) can be equal to pos but that case is handled separately). Hence if we iterate from left to right it'll always be possible to do this.

Aoi_Hill

3 года назад, # ^ |

Basically at each 'i' , subtract at max (i-1) from 1, and add atleasr 'i' at 1 , hence a[0]+= (1 or more for each i). Then as robinz62 edit.

MatheusOP

In Div2D/Div1B, is it possible to use a ternary search to find the value we want all the elements in the list to assume?

rishav

That value is already known, say it's x. After every move, array sum will remain constant so, in the end sum = nx, x = sum/n. That's why sum%n == 0 is a necessary condition.

Indeed. Now I see it, thanks!

Why can't we just take $$$\frac{a_i}{i} * i$$$ from each $$$2 \leq i \leq n$$$, making values equal to $$$a_i := a_i\mod i$$$ and transfer it to $$$a_1$$$, using exactly $$$n - 1$$$ operations, then transfer needed values back from $$$a_1$$$ to all elements, using another $$$n-1$$$ operations?

Can anyone explain div2C problem in simpler way with some example

Ayalla

Consider the distance between 2 positions (j > i), as d = (j — i — 1).

For each number x that may be present in the array, calculate the following distances:

1- Between the first element of the array and the position of the first occurrence of x.

2- Between pairs of positions (j > i), such that a [i] = x and j is the position of the element equal to x closest to i on right.

3- Between the last element of the array and the position of the last occurrence of x.

Now take the largest of these values for each x value, consider this value equal to k.

The number x appears in all subsegments of size >= k.

then we have the answer :)

They do that when the problem allows many tests per test file to make the queue faster.

It is very cool, but they can at least make them stronger. Why in problems with several testcases they make pretests with only 1 testcase per pretest? BTW, my two problems failed because of typos, so stupid typos, that I am not sure how this passed event 3 pretests. That is the point in doing many-testcase input, if pretests are actually 1 test-case? I thought they do test-case input to speed up testing process.

Tutorial for Div2C is hard to understand. I solved Div2C, maybe the way the tutorial explains it, I am not sure.

So I think if somebody did not solve it, it is completly not understandable. What is meant by "we can update the suffix [some formular]..."?

nairarjun1997

For every array element x, they compute the minimum window size k which is guaranteed to contain x. If the minimum k contains x, then all window sizes greater than k also contain x. Then, they sort the array elements in increasing order. For every array element, they have computed a minimum k which it covers. So we try to update the suffix [k..n] with this array element. If we find some k' in the suffix [k..n] which is already updated, then we don't need to update any further because every element in the suffix [k', n] has already been updated by a smaller array element because we're iterating through the elements in increasing order.

How to update "the suffix", whatever it is?

We make an array which maps the window size k to the smallest number which occurs in all windows of size k. For example if the array size is 3, then we will have 3 window sizes. So, let the array(1-indexed) "K" be [-1, -1, -1]. Then, we sort the array given in the problem in non-decreasing order. Let's say the array given in the problem is [1, 2, 3](already sorted). If it wasn't, then sort it.Let's also assume that we have computed the smallest window size k for each of these elements. For 1, this window size is 3. For 2 this window size is 2. For 3 this window size is 3.

Now, we will update the suffixes of the "K" array while iterating through the array we sorted.

When iterating through the array we sorted, we will run into 1, 2, 3 in that order. For 1, the smallest window which works is 3. So, we will update each k >= 3 in the K array with 1. Now the K array is [-1, -1, 1].

Then we'll run into 2 while iterating. The best minimum window size which works is 2. So, we'll update the "suffix" with indices [2..3] in the K array with the value 2. But, when we try to update position 3, we see that it has already been updated. So, we can stop and we don't need to go any further. Now the "K" array is [-1, 2, 1].

Then we run into 3 while iterating. The smallest window which works is 3. So, we can update the suffix [3..3], but it has already been updated by a smaller value 1. So, we can stop.

Thanks!

Can someone tell me how I passed pretest and managed to get runtime error on test "1" during system testing?

here is my submission: 93984302

Usually this is undefined behaviour, some index out of bounds. But I cannot see in which line.

But I at least passed pretest(which had 4 tests). Very confused, hope I don't get ruined by some mysterious problem.

I compiled and run it on my computer, it is a out of bounds.

You could try to use compiler options which make your code fail in such cases.

nah I re-submitted and got AC, idk

That is the "undefined" in undefined behaviour. Sometimes it works, sometime it does not.

Hmm, very interesting. I guess I will prompt to static arrays more to avoid this kind of problem(maybe will help? idk).

Anyway, thank you for trying my code.

WitchOfTruth

Why would using static arrays help?

It may sound rude and it is rude
But people who don't understand what UB is should not code in c++. It should literally be repeated on every c++ lesson

I will try to study what UB is. It is correct that I didn't take C++ lesson though.

Don't take my comment personally

It just happens again and again.

People create posts or comments and always ping Mike or contest authors regarding "It passes locally but fails with the same example in tests" or something like that. Though it is completely normal for their language Really painful.

Also it is not the only ub you can get. There are plenty of other options to run into it.

Yes you did get AC from undefined behaviour, but you may get RE during systests. To avoid that, compile with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG. This will catch all out of bounds accesses(in stl containers), and you will therefore not get any UB for that reason at least.

On this contest I had big troubles with problem E. I used the idea with the mergesort + checking every bit of answer from last to first. It uses O(30 * n * logn) time, and with n = 3e5 it is approximately 1e8, is it really that slow for time limit = 2 seconds? If anyone can get AC with my code, please share my mistake. (94018657)

aniervs

My solution was with almost the same idea as yours and also got TLE on test case 12, when I optimized my code it runned locally on 3 seconds for the worst test case.

However I think you should use long long for computing the amount of inversions.

Div2-B my code What's wrong in this I'm unable to figure it out. If anyone could help me. Initially it is assigning all the elements of array as '0' and putting current index(j) in map if it's not making 'T' with another previous element i<j, but when it founds a[i]+a[j]==T 'j' is assigned to 1.

Testcases were very weak for Div2 C. I saw a lot of submissions where the test case 1 1 3 would fail, but somehow got accepted. I submitted my code at 1h 6 mins(all pretests passed). Went on ahead to try D, but at 1h 52 mins, I realised, that I've missed the case for n = 1, So I resubmitted it. Turns out they didn't have a basic case like n = 1. My ranking fell from expected 1200 to 1765. Please do something about the resubmission rule.

"Several unexpected Kuhn solutions passed for D1F. Could you please discuss your solutions in the comments and prove its correctness or provide any counter-examples. Author's solution uses flows with Dinic."

Don't worry, it is almost impossible to hack Kuhn (especially on those, specific graphs). Even if it is possible, it is VERY hard. Of course, I don't have any proof of my words, but I know it from my experience.

BledDest

+32

This is a strange question, but: how to solve this problem with Kuhn? I don't doubt its time efficiency, but I don't know how to find the maximum matching which saturates some given set of vertices without using circulations (which is the model solution).

+52

Alright, so you need to find the matching that covers some set of vertices.

Using Kuhn in proper order, find any maximum matching that covers all vertices of the left part from the set, let's say that the set of covered vertices of the left part is $$$L$$$ (some vertices from the set + something else).
Using Kuhn in proper order, find any maximum matching that covers all vertices of the right part from the set. Similarly, define $$$R$$$.

The claim is: there is a maximum matching on the set of vertices $$$L \cup R$$$.

You can prove it using alternating paths.

And then you can just leave only those vertices and find the maximum matching.

Note: this algorithm also can be used for solving the maximum vertex-weighted matching where you have weights on both parts. I will leave it to you as an exercise.

That's really cool (though I need some time to make sure I understand why this is correct). Thank you!

ehnryx

which Kuhn's algorithm is this and what does it do? He has too many...

+41

Oh, excuse me! In Russia, we call the 'Kuhn's algorithm' a DFS-like approach for maximum matching in the bipartite graph, which goes like that: for $$$v \in L$$$ in some order, run $$$dfs(v)$$$ (i.e. simplified and faster version of Ford-Fulkerson, which appears to be quite powerful).

Here is the Russian (unfortunately) page with code and description of this algorithm (you can use a translator if you really want): e-maxx..

Thank you!

stefanbalaz2

So u use that claim just to cut down the number of vertices and edges? Or am i missing something?

bekzhan29

Can you please explain how to find maximum weighted max matching? I know about fast Kuhn, but I always thought that it can’t be used for finding maximum weighted matching.

mnbvmar

Another way (I didn't participate today, though, so I'm not 100% sure). We can model our subproblem (given a bipartite graph, find a matching covering a given subset of vertices) as a maximum-cost flow: connect a source with all vertices of one side of the bipartite graph with oriented edges with capacity 1 and cost 0 or 1 (1 if the vertex must be covered by the matching). We analogously connect all vertices of the other part of the graph with the sink. Now, if we need to cover $$$R$$$ vertices, we can easily see that we are looking for any flow with cost $$$\geq R$$$.

But running a maximum-cost flow algorithm naively is probably too slow. In order to cope with that, we need to understand how the simplest maximum-cost flow algorithm works on our network:

In the first phase, the algorithm iteratively finds augmenting paths with a total cost of $$$2$$$. We can convince ourselves that this is actually equivalent to finding the maximum-size matching on the subgraph induced by all required vertices (and no other vertices). We can do just that using Kuhn's algorithm.
In the second phase, the algorithm iteratively finds augmenting paths with a total cost of $$$1$$$ in the residual network created after the first step; hence, we are looking for alternating paths connecting an unmatched required vertex with an unmatched non-required vertex. This is equivalent to running the Kuhn's algorithm on the graph above (with the matching found in the first phase), only that we only search for alternating paths originating from a required vertex (remember that the origin can belong to either part of the graph).
No further augmenting paths in the max-cost flow algorithm will increase the cost of the flow, so we're done — we found a matching covering as many vertices as possible.

XORring-Samurai

Hi, Can anyone please tell me the time complexity of my code for D2B, according to me, it is approximately O(N log N). But it gave TLE on the system tests, which shows that I have approximated the complexity incorrectly. Here is the link to my submission:

https://codeforces.me/contest/1417/submission/93976053

Thanks in advance!

june_waves

If input looks like $$$a = [x,x,x,...,y,y,y,...]$$$ and $$$x + y = T$$$, every time your program sees a $$$x$$$ it will go through every positions of $$$y$$$ and set the answer, then the run time becomes $$$O(n^2logn)$$$

Moody_in_a_hoodie

For problem D how can it be told for sure that a[1] wont be negative after the operation. lets say if a[i]=8 and i=7 then it would take 7-(8%7)=6 at least 6 but if a[1] is less that that how what will happen then? what am i missing?

Even I have the same doubt

Because he did the operation from i=2 to i=n

you can see that the when we are doing from i=k, a[i] is at least k-1 since a[1]~a[k-1] is all greater than zero, thus the method will work.

My solution for Div1 D using small-to-large merging passed in 1.4s. 94011971

The idea is that we simulate small-to-large merging for edges in reverse order and save which values were in a smaller set, so we could simulate the process in reverse order by removing the smaller set from the larger set.

viniciusth

You don't even need to use a set of pairs to answer queries.

With the same idea you can maintain the vectors during the small-to-large merging and sort them afterwards, then you can simply rollback the edges which you are supposed to erase. To answer queries you go from the back of the vector and pop elements which are already deleted (equal to 0) or aren't in the same disjoint set anymore. So for all queries you get O(n) amortized (After sorting for NlogN of course).

This made my code run in about 650ms.

Submission

Wouldn't there be $$$O(NlogN)$$$ elements in total which we need to sort? Therefore the complexity would still be $$$O(Nlog^2N)$$$, but with a better constant.

Yeah, i didn't notice that, you're correct.

ffao

+26

You can get the complexity down to $$$O(N \log N)$$$ if you sort all vectors using counting sort (consider all vectors that contain 1, then all vectors that contain 2..., and proceed like this to reconstruct all vectors in the correct order). See 94166796

Cool. I spent day to optimize this solution with vectors to $$$O(n log(n))$$$ and didn't come up.

katara

In DIV2B , why can't we just put all pairs whose sum add up to the target into different multi sets?

atharv

+11

Was O(nlog(n)log(max(A[i]a)) not intended for div2E or does my solution just have poor constant/ bad implementation on that time complexity?

TooTrashyToCompete

My O(n log A) with hashmap failed on pretests so I assume that anything slower than O(n log A) wasn't intended but I might be wrong

Svlad_Cjelli

The time limits were tight here. My solution failed with map too. Unordered_map barely passes (but I needed a custom hash function — they may have some anti-hash test cases).

EDIT: Actually your complexity can work (for example see tourist's solution), But constants matter a lot here.

mejiamejia

Otherwise, we have to make it divisible by transferring i−(aimodi) from a1 to ai. Note that this operation does not break a condition on non-negativity because all ai are initially positive. I don't know why this sentence is true. If a1 is small, isn't it a negative number? Or am I too stupid?

+15

Since we are considering the indices $$$i$$$ in ascending order, and all $$$a_i > 0$$$, when we start dealing with $$$a_i$$$, $$$a_1 \ge i - 1 \ge a_i \bmod i$$$.

I understand, thank you very much!

We (me, gyh20, Time_tears) have a totally different (and much easier, we think) solution to D1D.

First add the edges from the last operation to the first, and at the same time use disjoint-set-unions (with merging the small one into the big one) to add the numbers a connected component contain into a vector and keep the total size under $$$n\log n$$$.

After getting done with the vectors, sort each of them from small to big. Let $$$bel[i]$$$ be the connected component the point with value $$$i$$$ is now in. For all $$$i$$$ from $$$1$$$ to $$$n$$$, let $$$bel[a_i]\leftarrow getfather(i)$$$. (getfather is the dsu function)

Then we answer the queries:

If this operation is a deleting operation, let's assume that we delete (x,y). If deleting the edge doesn't affect connecting components, ignore it. Else let $$$getfather(x)\to x, getfather(y)\to y$$$. Assume that $$$size[x]<size[y]$$$ (size of connected components after deleting). For all points $$$i$$$ in x's component, let $$$bel[a_i]\leftarrow x$$$. Also change the father of $$$x$$$ to itself.
Else, let $$$getfather(x)\to x$$$. Consider from back to front in its vector: if the number is printed, pop it (use pop_back). If it's $$$bel$$$ isn't x, pop it. Else print it.

The solution runs a lot faster than the author's. Without any optimizes, it only uses 452ms. Also it doesn't need any data structures.

In the editorial of Div2E/Div1C，there's something I can't understand. In the tutorial, $$$a, b$$$ are the children of $$$v$$$, and $$$v$$$ has a depth of $$$k$$$. Then $$$a, b$$$ have a depth of $$$k-1$$$, and the highest bit which differs in both should be the $$$k-1$$$-th highest bit. So I think only the $$$k-1$$$-th highest bit of X is toggled, lists $$$S(a)$$$ and $$$S(b)$$$ will change their relative order, not $$$k$$$-th. Can anyone explain it?

pandastic

In Div2E/Div1C we can convert all numbers to binary. Then we start with the whole array of n elements and look at the most significant bit. Iterate over the array, counting inversions and antiinversions along the way. (Inversions are 1-0 pairs and antiinversions are 0-1 pairs, 0-0 and 1-1 pairs are neither.) Split the array into two subsequences, placing the elements with a 0 bit in this position to one of them and elements with 1 bit to the other, while preserving order within each subsequence. Repeat the same procedure recursively on each of the subsequences, with the next most significant bit. Inversions (as well as antiinversions) at the same recursion depth should be added up. Recursion stops, after processing the least significant bit. At the end we have the total number of inversions and total number of antiinversions per recursion level i.e. per bit position. Now we can construct the required x, setting its bits to 1 at positions where the number of inversions is strictly larger than the number of antiinversions and to 0 in the others. Complexity is O(n logn).

Unofficial Div1F editorial (Dinic's maxflow solution):

Note that a satisfactory solution can be produced as follows: for every cell, exactly one of the following must be true:

It points to a neighbor of lower value than it that doesn't point back, and its cost will be the difference between the values.
It points to a neighbor of equal value that points back to it. The sum of their costs will be equal to their shared value (division can be arbitrary, e.g. $$$(1, x-1)$$$ or $$$(\lfloor x/2 \rfloor, \lceil x/2 \rceil)$$$)

Note that the second condition resembles the bipartite matching problem that arises from domino-tiling an arbitrarily-shaped chessboard (e.g. this problem from AtCoder). In fact, it can be framed as a bipartite matching, but with only a subset of nodes being mandatory participants for the matching. A node is mandatory iff its cell has no neighbors of lower value, otherwise it's optional.

Recall that to use Dinic's maximum flow to solve a bipartite matching, there are source-edges to one of the parts (the "white" cells on a chessboard), sink-edges from the other of the parts (the "black" cells), and directed edges from the first part to the second part based on potential matchings (i.e. between cells with equal value). To model mandatory nodes, we add a "demand" to its source or sink edge, modeling demands by the transformation detailed in this tutorial.

The answer is yes iff all demands are met by the flow. The solution can be reconstructed by matching cells by the second condition if there is flow between them. If a cell isn't matched this way, the first condition can be fulfilled instead; this is always possible as the node would have been marked mandatory otherwise.

Beware: Dinic's algorithm implementations that pass many other flow problems fine may TLE here due to a subtle bug. In particular, ensure your adjacency-list pointers (ptr in the author's solution, or next in my solutions [recursive | iterative]) only increment if its edge is exhausted, i.e. the search in that node hasn't fulfilled its flow limit yet.

In problem 1D, the given solution code runs about 1.3s (GNU C++17(64)) and the TL is 1.5s?

I have alternate solution for div-2 F which has same TC as the editorial's solution, but slightly worse space complexity, $$$(O(n + q)\log{n})$$$.

Firstly, store all the queries, and delete all the edges given in the type-2 queries. Now, in this new graph, unite all the nodes in connected components into one dsu set each.

Now we will basically try to simulate the process in reverse. We can do it like this: Iterate from the last query to the first. Now all the type 2 queries are essentially unite queries (as we are going backwards), so store the set representatives of both the ends of the edge that was to be deleted in this query. Also, store the smaller set.

Now we will iterate from first to the last query, and answer queries too.

For type 1 queries: simply check max in current dsu set of given vertice, set its value to 0, and update dsu set accordingly.
For type 2 queries: we had earlier stored the smaller set that was merged into the larger set. So now we must separate that smaller set from the larger one. But some elements of the smaller set might have changed in the prior type-1 queries. So we can just check the new value of each element before adding stuff back into the smaller set.
