BOBERT - Stick values |
On a sunny day, Stjepan and Bobert were arguing over their problem solving skill under a big apple tree. Bobert brought up a nice problem he had just recently solved and claimed that Stjepan could not solve it. Stjepan is desperate and needs your help. Here is Bobert's problem:
Given an array of N (1 ≤ N ≤ 105) numbers (0 ≤ ai ≤ 109) and K (1 ≤ K ≤ 20) sticks of a certain length Li (0 ≤ Li ≤ N, such that the sum of all lengths is equal to N), find the best possible distribution of the sticks among the array such that:
- a stick of length Lx can cover any interval of the array whose length is equal to the length of the stick (it can cover Lx consecutive numbers of the array).
- all sticks must be used and can not overlap or leave the borders of the array.
- the value of a stick of length Lx covering the interval [lo, hi] is equal to: Lx × (max[lo, hi] - min[lo, hi]). Note that: max = largest element of the array inside the interval and min = smallest element of the array inside the interval.
- the sum of all stick values must be as large as possible.
Note: double-check your complexity
Input
The first line contains an integer N.
The second line contains N numbers representing the array.
The third line contains an integer K.
The fourth line contains K numbers representing the stick lengths.
Output
The only line should contain the solution - the maximum sum of stick values as explained in the task.
Example
Input: 9 2 6 3 1 8 4 3 5 6 4 2 3 2 2 Output: 33

testcase contains Li = 0? RE: I think some do, updated the task description, thanks! Last edit: 2015-04-02 09:31:50 |
