473 - Raucous Rockers

[Christian Schuster]

Hello,

I tried to solve problem 473 by a greedy algorithm:

1. S := sequence of song lengths (as given in input)
2. determine number of disks needed for the songs in S
3. if disks <= m return |S|
4. otherwise remove longest song from S and go to 2.

I assumed that the song order given in the input must be maintained over all disks, so I put songs on disk 1 until it's full, then on disk 2 until it's full, and so on.

I didn't find any case where the result differs from my (too slow) backtracking solution. Obviously, there must be such cases, because I received WA.

Thanks,
Christian

Your greedy is correct if you apply it to one disk only. So to get a correct overall algorithm, use dynamic programming to partition the n songs into m intervals of songs which will be assigned to disks. Within one disk, apply your greedy algorithm until the songs fit on that disk. The dynamic programming part is similar to problems 709 and 10239.

[Adrian Kuegel]

I also just found a counterexample for your current greedy algorithm:
4 11 2
9, 10, 2, 11

optimal solution is:
9 2
11
but your greedy will get:
9
2

unfortunately, the O(n^2 * m) dynamic programming algorithm I have is too slow. And the pruning I inserted seems to be wrong.

Thanks, I just got AC with an O(n*m*t) DP algorithm.

 The songs will be recorded on the set of disks in the order of the dates they were written.

Does this mean that we will record disk 1 first, then disk 2, then 3, etc.? Or can we record song 1 onto disk 1, then song 2 onto disk 2 and then song 3 onto disk 1 again?

[Christian Schuster]

It's not allowed to put songs 1 and 3 on disk 1 and song 2 on disk 2. More formally, for every possible pair (a,b) of chosen song numbers having a>b, the relation disk(a)>=disk(b) must hold.

[Abednego]

Ok. I got it accepted in 2 seconds with a O(n*m*t) DP using O(m*t) memory. n is at most 10240, t is at most 128 and m is at most 128. They are probably smaller than this, but they are certainly not larger (checked with assert()).

I got WA on this problem

Now I want to find out why it was wrong

But I need the ouputs of these inputs

Can anyone help me? Thanks

And can anybody tell me what is the upper bound of the number n,t and m?

[DD]

You can check this post (http://acm.uva.es/board/viewtopic.php?f ... 82dea1139a), and the upper bound of n, t, and m are clearly illustrated in there.
I got A.C. by following this article.

Hello,
Does this problem is a binary knapsack problem with some constraint? The recursion formula:

Code: Select all

M(i, j) = M(i-1, j) if j-t(i) and j belongs to diffrent discs
M(i, j) = max{M(i-1, j), M(i-1, j-t(i)) + 1} otherwise
1 <= i <= n
1<= j <= m*t
M(i, j) - maximum number of songs from range 1..i that could be placed on discs with whole size of j 

The second line is standard 1/0 knapsack formula. The first line gives constraint that single track cannot begin in first CD and ens at second?
Does my reasoning is correct?

[Angeh]

its easy to solve in N^2*m..but i can't get he m*n*t solution
Could anyone Give some hints ....?

thanks in advance ...
