Re: [algogeeks] finding subarray

2012-01-09 Thread surender sanke
using extra space of O(n) we can do it in O(n^2)
take an array for storing cumulative sums from index i till 0,
then from i+1 till n-1 find summing each array value find whether it exists
in array.
if its so display indexes
eg
Array: 2,2,13,4,7,3,8,12,9,1,5
i = 3   ^
temp array:  4, 17, 19, 21
finding for cumulative sums from i+1 till i=(any of values in temp array)
i = 6   ^
temp array:  8, 11, 18, 22
finding for cumulative sums from i+1 till i=(any of values in temp array)
found values from i+1 till i+3
Repeating for every i,

 Given an array (length n), we need to find the subarray (length k) such
 that the sum of the first j elements of the subarray equals the sum of the
 remaining (k-j) elements of the subarray.
 For e.g.
 Array: 2,2,13,4,7,3,8,12,9,1,5
 Output: 4,7,3,8,12,9,1 [4+7+3+8=12+9+1]
 Could this be done with a complexity better than O(n^3)
 k is not given .

Re: [algogeeks] Finding subarray

2011-05-13 Thread MK
Let there be n elements v1, v2, v3 .. vn

Let S(i,k) mean - Sum k exists in a subset of {v1, v2, v3, ... vi}
At any given time, if solution has not yet been found then :
S(i,k) = S(i-1,k-vi) + vi or no solution exists

We need to find S(n,k)

So in a systematic fashion, solve S(1,1), S(1,2), S(1,3) ... S(1,k)  ,
S(2,1), S(2,2), S(2,3), S(2,4) .. S(2,k) , ... S(n,1), S(n,2) ..
S(n,k)

 set of integers in an array X that the sum equals a given number N

 Lets say the number 5 which can be formed in the following manner 5= 2 + 3
 (the values from array). If there is no match it has to return
 invalid numbers.

 We also have to see the complexity of the solution.

 I thought of one approach but not sure if there is more approach where the
 complexity will be minimal.
 Lets say sort the array and now take number and find the closest number for
 that.
 Then in a recursion manner search for another( Lets say number '5', it
 search the list and found closest match
 will be 3. Then recursively search for 3 now where closest match is 2)

 Any algo with better complexity will be appreciated.

myapproach( set S , sum s ) :
Let all elements be set  S  and we need to find sum , s
1. for each element taken from the set ,e
2. now call the function recursively with   myapproach( S - { e } , s - e )
and myapproach( S - {e } , s )

@ Subhranshu : Your approach will fail for a case let  X = {-1,4,2,3} and
your sum is 5. You will get nearest element 4, but there is no 1 in the set.
A DP solution will be like this :

Let a[i][j] be the 1 if using the first i elements we can get sum of j, and
0 otherwise. Initialise a[0][j] = 0, a[i][0] = 1;

Now a[i][j] = a[i-1][j] | a[i-1][ j - X[i] ], where X[i] is ith element of
set X.

Re: [algogeeks] Finding subarray

2011-03-30 Thread Subhransu
For this X = {-1,4,2,3}
Nearest will be 4 then remain is 1 but the there is no 1 so again in
recursion nearest number is 2 then it search for suitable number where the
sum is zero so 3 is not suitable then it will pick the next closest number
to 2 which is one and make it (5= 4 + 2 -1 )

I just propose one approach you guys also can think a better one.

 @ Subhranshu : Your approach will fail for a case let  X = {-1,4,2,3} and
 your sum is 5. You will get nearest element 4, but there is no 1 in the set.
 A DP solution will be like this :

 Let a[i][j] be the 1 if using the first i elements we can get sum of j, and
 0 otherwise. Initialise a[0][j] = 0, a[i][0] = 1;

 Now a[i][j] = a[i-1][j] | a[i-1][ j - X[i] ], where X[i] is ith element of
 set X.

We did :-)  Dynamic programming seems as the best way to approach this
kind of problem.

could you please point to some similar 
I just want to validate the approach which I am thinking of.
