c++ - 高效的字符串截断算法，顺序删除相等的前缀和后缀

到目前为止，这是我设法做到的:

为 O(n ^ 2)中给定字符串的所有子字符串计算prefix function

检查在 O(n ^ 3)中执行所有可能的操作组合的结果

我的解决方案通过了n≤2000的所有测试，但是超过了2000 <n≤5000的时间限制。这是它的代码:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

const int MAX_N = 5000;

int result; // 1 less than actual

// [x][y] corresponds to substring that starts at position `x` and ends at position `x + y` =>
// => corresponding substring length is `y + 1`
int lps[MAX_N][MAX_N]; // prefix function for the substring s[x..x+y]
bool checked[MAX_N][MAX_N]; // whether substring s[x..x+y] is processed by check function

// length is 1 less than actual
void check(int start, int length) {
    checked[start][length] = true;
    if (length < result) {
        if (length == 0) {
            cout << 1; // actual length = length + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1
            exit(0); // 1 is the minimum possible result
        }
        result = length;
    }
    // iteration over all proper prefixes that are also suffixes
    // i - current prefix length
    for (int i = lps[start][length]; i != 0; i = lps[start][i - 1]) {
        int newLength = length - i;
        int newStart = start + i;
        if (!checked[start][newLength])
            check(start, newLength);
        if (!checked[newStart][newLength])
            check(newStart, newLength);
    }
}

int main()
{
    string str;
    cin >> str;
    int n = str.length();
    // lps calculation runs in O(n^2)
    for (int l = 0; l < n; l++) {
        int subLength = n - l;
        lps[l][0] = 0;
        checked[l][0] = false;
        for (int i = 1; i < subLength; ++i) {
            int j = lps[l][i - 1];
            while (j > 0 && str[i + l] != str[j + l])
                j = lps[l][j - 1];
            if (str[i + l] == str[j + l])  j++;
            lps[l][i] = j;
            checked[l][i] = false;
        }
    }
    result = n - 1;
    // checking all possible operations combinations in O(n^3)
    check(0, n - 1);
    cout << result + 1;
}

问:还有更有效的解决方案吗？

最佳答案

这是获取对数因子的一种方法。如果可以到达子串dp[i][j]，则让s[i..j]为true。然后:

dp[0][length(s)-1] ->
  true

dp[0][j] ->
  if s[0] != s[j+1]:
    false
  else:
    true if any dp[0][k]
      for j < k ≤ (j + longestMatchRight[0][j+1])

  (The longest match we can use is
   also bound by the current range.)

(Initialise left side similarly.)

现在从外面迭代:

for i = 1 to length(s)-2:
  for j = length(s)-2 to i:
    dp[i][j] ->
      // We removed on the right
      if s[i] != s[j+1]:
        false
      else:
        true if any dp[i][k]
          for j < k ≤ (j + longestMatchRight[i][j+1])

      // We removed on the left
      if s[i-1] != s[j]:
        true if dp[i][j]
      else:
        true if any dp[k][j]
          for (i - longestMatchLeft[i-1][j]) ≤ k < i

我们可以预先计算出(i, j)中每个起始对O(n^2)的最长匹配，

longest(i, j) ->
  if s[i] == s[j]:
    return 1 + longest(i + 1, j + 1)
  else:
    return 0

这将使我们能够检查从i中的索引j和O(1)开始的子字符串匹配。 (我们需要左右方向。)

如何获得对数因子

我们可以想到一种提出数据结构的方法，该方法可以让我们确定是否

any dp[i][k]
  for j < k ≤ (j + longestMatchRight[i][j+1])

(And similarly for the left side.)

在O(log n)中，考虑到我们已经看到了这些值。

这是带有段树的C++代码(用于左右查询，所以是O(n^2 * log n))，其中包括Bananon的测试生成器。对于5000个“a”字符，它以3.54s，420 MB(https://ideone.com/EIrhnR)运行。为了减少内存，在单个行上实现了一个段树(我仍然需要研究对左侧查询执行的操作，以进一步减少内存)。
