Good Observations:

Правка en4, от ASHWANTH_K, 2023-07-27 15:41:00

I am gonna make account of good observations and ideas which I come across while solving problems. The proofs of below statements will not be mentioned here, Its advised to do such proofs on own for exercise.

  • Lets say I have a set $$$S$$$ consisting of integers, denote its $$$lcm(S) = L$$$, I add a new element $$$x$$$ to this set $$$S$$$ , Lets deonte the new set as $$$S'$$$,where $$$S' = union(S , x)$$$ and its $$$lcm(S') = L'$$$. Can we deduce a relation between $$$L$$$ and $$$L'$$$. We can observe that either $$$L = L'$$$ or $$$L' >= 2*L$$$.
  • Let's say we want to find 2 numbers in an array $$$A[]$$$ with maximum common prefix bits in binary representation. Its easy to show that those two numbers always occur as adjacent numbers in $$$sorted(A[])$$$
  • The number of distinct gcd prefixed/suffixed at an index in an array will never exceed $$$log(A_{max})$$$
  • Let's say I have a number $$$X$$$, And I apply modulo operation as many times as I wish, i.e $$$X = X \% {m_i}$$$ for some different values of $$${m_i}$$$. It can be shown that $$$X$$$ takes $$$log(X)$$$ distinct values until it reaches to $$$0$$$.
  • If $$$N$$$ times $$$abs()$$$ function appears at any problem, maybe bruteforcing all $$$2^N$$$ combinations of $$$+/-$$$ may give way to the solution sometimes.
  • Prefix Or/And can take a maximum of $$$log(N)$$$ values.
  • Nested totient function say $$$phi(phi(phi( ... (X) ... )))$$$ will eventually reach 1 in atmost $$$2log(X)$$$ nested functions. Useful for computing expressions like $$$(A^{(B^{(C^..)})})$$$ modulo $$$P$$$. (nested powers).
