Background
Problems that require minimum paths through some domain appear in many different areas of computer science. For example, one of the constraints in VLSI routing problems is minimizing wire length. The Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) -- finding whether all the cities in a salesperson's route can be visited exactly once with a specified limit on travel time -- is one of the canonical examples of an NP-complete problem; solutions appear to require an inordinate amount of time to generate, but are simple to check.
This problem deals with finding a minimal path through a grid of points while traveling only from left to right.
The Problem
Given an matrix of integers, you are to write a program that computes a path of minimal weight. A path starts anywhere in column 1 (the first column) and consists of a sequence of steps terminating in column n (the last column). A step consists of traveling from column i to column i+1 in an adjacent (horizontal or diagonal) row. The first and last rows (rows 1 and m) of a matrix are considered adjacent, i.e., the matrix ``wraps'' so that it represents a horizontal cylinder. Legal steps are illustrated below.
The weight of a path is the sum of the integers in each of the n cells of the matrix that are visited.
For example, two slightly different matrices are shown below (the only difference is the numbers in the bottom row).
The minimal path is illustrated for each matrix. Note that the path for the matrix on the right takes advantage of the adjacency property of the first and last rows.
The Input
The input consists of a sequence of matrix specifications. Each matrix specification consists of the row and column dimensions in that order on a line followed by integers where m is the row dimension and n is the column dimension. The integers appear in the input in row major order, i.e., the first n integers constitute the first row of the matrix, the second n integers constitute the second row and so on. The integers on a line will be separated from other integers by one or more spaces. Note: integers are not restricted to being positive. There will be one or more matrix specifications in an input file. Input is terminated by end-of-file.
For each specification the number of rows will be between 1 and 10 inclusive; the number of columns will be between 1 and 100 inclusive. No path's weight will exceed integer values representable using 30 bits.
The Output
Two lines should be output for each matrix specification in the input file, the first line represents a minimal-weight path, and the second line is the cost of a minimal path. The path consists of a sequence of nintegers (separated by one or more spaces) representing the rows that constitute the minimal path. If there is more than one path of minimal weight the path that is lexicographically smallest should be output.
Sample Input

题目的意思:
给一个m行n列(m<=10,n<=100)的整数矩阵,从第一列任何一个位置出发每次往右、右上、右下走一格,最终到达最后一列。要求所经过的整数之和最小。整个矩阵是环形的,即第一行的上一行是最后一行,最后一行的下一行是第一行。输出路径上每列的行号。多解时输出字典序最小的。
解题思路:
这题和数塔的基本思想是一样的,数塔,逆序处理,定义dp[i][j]为从格子(i,j)出发到达最后一列的最小开销,但是本题还需要输出字典序最小的路径,这就需要在计算dp[i][j]的同时记录下一列的行号的最小值(当然是在满足最优解的前提下)。
说明:逆向dp保证字典序最小(后继最小),正向能保证每点前驱最小。
AC代码:
#include <iostream>
#include<cstdio>
#include<cstring>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;
#define INF 0x7fffffff
int a[15][105];
int dp[15][105];
int nxt[15][105];//下一列的行号
int m,n;
int main()
{
while(cin>>m>>n){
for(int i=0;i<m;i++){
for(int j=0;j<n;j++){
scanf("%d",&a[i][j]);
}
}
memset(dp,0,sizeof(dp));
int ans=INF,first=0;
for(int j=n-1;j>=0;j--){//逆推
for(int i=0;i<m;i++){
if(j==n-1){
dp[i][j]=a[i][j];//边界
}
else{
int row[3]={i,i-1,i+1};//右边、右上、右下
if(i==0) row[1]=m-1;//第0行上面是第m-1行
if(i==m-1) row[2]=0;//第m-1行下面是第0行
sort(row,row+3);//排序,以便找到字典序最小的
dp[i][j]=INF;
for(int k=0;k<3;k++){
int v=dp[row[k]][j+1]+a[i][j];
if(v<dp[i][j]){
dp[i][j]=v;
nxt[i][j]=row[k];
}
}
}
if(j==0&&dp[i][j]<ans){
ans=dp[i][j];
first=i;
}
}
}
printf("%d",first+1);//输出第一列
for(int i=nxt[first][0],j=1;j<n;i=nxt[i][j],j++){
printf(" %d",i+1);//输出其他列
}
printf("\n%d\n",ans);
}
return 0;
}
