how to calculate XOR (dyadic) convolution with time complexity O(n log n)

烂漫一生 提交于 2021-02-08 11:46:16
问题 enter image description here “⊕” is the bitwise XOR operation. I think Karatsuba’s algorithm may be used to solve the problem, but when I try to use XOR instead of "+" in the Karatsuba’s algorithm, it is tough to get the sub-problem. 回答1: The convolution theorem gives you F(C) = F(A) . F(B) where F is a Fourier-related transform, in this case the Hadamard transform, and . is point-wise multiplication. Using the fast Walsh–Hadamard transform, you can compute F(A) , F(B) , and finally C (using

What are overlapping subproblems in Dynamic Programming (DP)?

爷,独闯天下 提交于 2020-12-13 07:04:47
问题 There are two key attributes that a problem must have in order for dynamic programming to be applicable: optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems [1]. For this question, we going to focus on the latter property only. There are various definitions for overlapping subproblems , two of which are: A problem is said to have overlapping subproblems if the problem can be broken down into subproblems which are reused several times OR a recursive algorithm for the problem solves the same

How to recursively tile a defective chessboard in DrRacket

橙三吉。 提交于 2020-06-25 05:50:09
问题 I have a homework problem which is really messing with me right now, and I could use some help in how to implement it in DrRacket. I do not wish for code, just guidance, as I am very new to DrRacket. The assignment is to implement this phrase: "If n = 0, return the empty tiling (list of tile structs). Otherwise, place a tromino (L-shaped domino) in the center of the chessboard so that it covers the three quadrants of the chessboard that have no missing tile in them, and tile each of the

How does the algorithm of merging two convex hulls by using their tangents work in practice?

瘦欲@ 提交于 2020-04-15 08:37:19
问题 I'm trying to implement in C++ the divide and conquer algorithm of finding the convex hull from a set of two dimensional points. For simplicity let's assume that all the points are described with integers. The most important part of the algorithm is merging the two convex hulls that you have computed from previous recursive calls. This part involves finding the lower and upper tangents of the two convex hulls and then proceeding with the merging. The merging is trivial, if you have found the

Master's theorem with f(n)=log n

点点圈 提交于 2020-01-28 02:45:34
问题 For master's theorem T(n) = a*T(n/b) + f(n) I am using 3 cases: If a*f(n/b) = c*f(n) for some constant c > 1 then T(n) = (n^log(b) a) If a*f(n/b) = f(n) then T(n) = (f(n) log(b) n) If a*f(n/b) = c*f(n) for some constant c < 1 then T(n) = (f(n)) But when f(n) = log n or n*log n , the value of c is dependent on value of n. How do I solve the recursive function using master's theorem? 回答1: You might find these three cases from the Wikipedia article on the Master theorem a bit more useful: Case 1

How to compare each element in two arrays with time complexity less than O(n^2)

安稳与你 提交于 2019-12-24 00:34:22
问题 Suppose we have two arrays A[n] and b[n], the goal is to compare every element in A to elements in B. Then return a list result[n] that records the number of each element in A that is larger than the elements in B. For example, A = [38, 24, 43, 3], B = [9, 82, 10, 11] Since 38 is larger than 9, 10 and 11, so result[0] is 3. Then result is [3, 3, 3, 0]. It will be the best if you can provide some pseudocode. Thank you. 回答1: You can perform the above algorithm in O(nlogn) complexity where n is

What is wrong with my logic for the divide and conquer algorithm for Closest Pair Problem?

喜你入骨 提交于 2019-12-22 10:45:40
问题 I have been following Coursera's course on Algorithms and came up with a thought about the divide/conquer algorithm for the closest pair problem, that I want clarified. As per Prof Roughgarden's algorithm (which you can see here if you're interested): For a given set of points P, of which we have two copies - sorted in X and Y direction - Px and Py, the algorithm can be given as closestPair(Px,Py): Divide points into left half - Q, and right half - R, and form sorted copies of both halves
