花花酱 LeetCode 1139. Largest 1-Bordered Square

Given a 2D grid of 0s and 1s, return the number of elements in the largest square subgrid that has all 1s on its border, or 0 if such a subgrid doesn’t exist in the grid.

Example 1:

Input: grid = [[1,1,1],[1,0,1],[1,1,1]]
Output: 9

Example 2:

Input: grid = [[1,1,0,0]]
Output: 1

Constraints:

  • 1 <= grid.length <= 100
  • 1 <= grid[0].length <= 100
  • grid[i][j] is 0 or 1

Solution: DP

Compute the sums of all rectangles that has left-top corner at (0, 0) in O(m*n) time.
For each square and check whether its borders are all ones in O(1) time.

Time complexity: O(m*n*min(m,n))
Space complexity: O(m*n)

花花酱 LeetCode 1137. N-th Tribonacci Number

The Tribonacci sequence Tn is defined as follows: 

T0 = 0, T1 = 1, T2 = 1, and Tn+3 = Tn + Tn+1 + Tn+2 for n >= 0.

Given n, return the value of Tn.

Example 1:

Input: n = 4
Output: 4
Explanation:
T_3 = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2
T_4 = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4

Example 2:

Input: n = 25
Output: 1389537

Constraints:

  • 0 <= n <= 37
  • The answer is guaranteed to fit within a 32-bit integer, ie. answer <= 2^31 - 1.

Solution: DP

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n) -> O(1)

花花酱 1130. Minimum Cost Tree From Leaf Values

Given an array arr of positive integers, consider all binary trees such that:

  • Each node has either 0 or 2 children;
  • The values of arr correspond to the values of each leaf in an in-order traversal of the tree.  (Recall that a node is a leaf if and only if it has 0 children.)
  • The value of each non-leaf node is equal to the product of the largest leaf value in its left and right subtree respectively.

Among all possible binary trees considered, return the smallest possible sum of the values of each non-leaf node.  It is guaranteed this sum fits into a 32-bit integer.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [6,2,4]
Output: 32
Explanation:
There are two possible trees.  The first has non-leaf node sum 36, and the second has non-leaf node sum 32.

    24            24
   /  \          /  \
  12   4        6    8
 /  \               / \
6    2             2   4

Constraints:

  • 2 <= arr.length <= 40
  • 1 <= arr[i] <= 15
  • It is guaranteed that the answer fits into a 32-bit signed integer (ie. it is less than 2^31).

Solution: DP

dp[i][j] := answer of build a tree from a[i] ~ a[j]
dp[i][j] = min{dp[i][k] + dp[k+1][j] + max(a[i~k]) * max(a[k+1~j])} i <= k < j

花花酱 LeetCode 1125. Smallest Sufficient Team

In a project, you have a list of required skills req_skills, and a list of people.  The i-th person people[i] contains a list of skills that person has.

Consider a sufficient team: a set of people such that for every required skill in req_skills, there is at least one person in the team who has that skill.  We can represent these teams by the index of each person: for example, team = [0, 1, 3] represents the people with skills people[0]people[1], and people[3].

Return any sufficient team of the smallest possible size, represented by the index of each person.

You may return the answer in any order.  It is guaranteed an answer exists.

Example 1:

Input: req_skills = ["java","nodejs","reactjs"], people = [["java"],["nodejs"],["nodejs","reactjs"]]
Output: [0,2]

Example 2:

Input: req_skills = ["algorithms","math","java","reactjs","csharp","aws"], people = [["algorithms","math","java"],["algorithms","math","reactjs"],["java","csharp","aws"],["reactjs","csharp"],["csharp","math"],["aws","java"]]
Output: [1,2]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= req_skills.length <= 16
  • 1 <= people.length <= 60
  • 1 <= people[i].length, req_skills[i].length, people[i][j].length <= 16
  • Elements of req_skills and people[i] are (respectively) distinct.
  • req_skills[i][j], people[i][j][k] are lowercase English letters.
  • It is guaranteed a sufficient team exists.

Solution: DP

花花酱 LeetCode 1105. Filling Bookcase Shelves

We have a sequence of books: the i-th book has thickness books[i][0] and height books[i][1].

We want to place these books in order onto bookcase shelves that have total width shelf_width.

We choose some of the books to place on this shelf (such that the sum of their thickness is <= shelf_width), then build another level of shelf of the bookcase so that the total height of the bookcase has increased by the maximum height of the books we just put down.  We repeat this process until there are no more books to place.

Note again that at each step of the above process, the order of the books we place is the same order as the given sequence of books.  For example, if we have an ordered list of 5 books, we might place the first and second book onto the first shelf, the third book on the second shelf, and the fourth and fifth book on the last shelf.

Return the minimum possible height that the total bookshelf can be after placing shelves in this manner.

Example 1:

Input: books = [[1,1],[2,3],[2,3],[1,1],[1,1],[1,1],[1,2]], shelf_width = 4
Output: 6
Explanation:
The sum of the heights of the 3 shelves are 1 + 3 + 2 = 6.
Notice that book number 2 does not have to be on the first shelf.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= books.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= books[i][0] <= shelf_width <= 1000
  • 1 <= books[i][1] <= 1000

Solution: DP

dp[i] := min height of placing books[0] ~ books[i]
dp[-1] = 0
dp[j] = min{dp[i-1] + max(h[i] ~ h[j])}, 0 < i <= j, sum(w[i] ~ w[j]) <= shelf_width

Space complexity: O(n)
