You guy check this solution. It is expected to be run in
O(n lg n) for random permutation in average time. For
worst case, I think we can improve it for that.

Let's do an example firstly.
 7 3 4 1 2 6 5 8

For *1*, it self is a block. Let's count the blocks containing *1* firstly.

If a block with size more than 1 contains *1*, it will contains *2*.
Now check *2*,
it is not beside *1*, so no block with size=2 contains *1*.

Let's check *3*', the minimum position for (1,2,3) is 1 (with 0 based
index), and maximum position
for (1,2,3) is 4. Because 4-1+1 = 43, no block with sizeo=3 contains *1*.

Let's check *4*, the minimum position for (1,2,3,4) is 1, and maximum
position is  4. The window
size is 4-1+1 = 4. We find a block with size=4 and it contains *1*.

By continuing this process, we will get the number of blocks
containing number *1* and
more important is the time we need is linear time: O(n).

Now, we have checked all blocks including number *1*. So from now on,
we do not need number *1* anymore.
It means we can split the list into two [7 3 4] and [2 6 5 8] and
repeat the above process again  again.

If the permutation is really random, the above process is very similar
as the QuickSort process and then
we know the whole process cost O(n lg n) time.

However, for worst case like [1 2 3 4 ... n], it performs very bad.
The time complexity is linear with
the number of blocks and so it is not good in worst case. I.e. the
above algorithm need O(n^2) time
for such worst case.

Hope other guys can solve the worst case in O(n lg n) time.

Thanks

These are the steps for the O(n^2) solution

n=length of A
for each subarray  A[i,j]  where ji
   min=min(A[i,j])
   max=max(A[i,j])
   if(max - min==size (A[i,j]) print A[i,j]



min[A[i,j]]=min( A[j], min(A[i,j-1])
similar one for max

Note:
A[i,j] = A[i],A[i+1]A[j]


I was wondering how to do the same problem in O(nlogn)

[algogeeks] Recaman's sequence

2009-12-02 Thread Tushar Ghosh
Hi, Well
Recaman's sequence is defined by: a(0) = 0
   a(k) = a(k-1) -
k, k0, a(k) new term in series or else a(k-1) + k

So sequence is 0, 1, 3,6, 2, 7, 13, 20, 12, 21, 11, 22, 10,
23,
My approach used memoization using map in c++ (giving O(n) time and
memory for generating sequence), but I somehow feel that there can be
a better approach to check if a term already exists in the sequence.
Any suggestion would be gratefully acknowledged.

Regards,
Tushar

It's a binary tree, [ 7 3 4 1 2 6 5 8]  has children
[ 7 3 4 1 2 6 5] and [ 3 4 1 2 6 5 8], all the way
down to [ 7 3] [3 4] [4 1] ...

If you start at the bottom keeping track of min and max
for each node, if max-min == node length - 1 the node
if conseq. then it's just a matter of combining node
together and working up the tree
