Range Minimum Queries
Problem Statement
You are given an integer sequence A of length N and an integer K. You will perform the following operation on this sequence Q times:
Choose a contiguous subsequence of length K, then remove the smallest element among the K elements contained in the chosen subsequence (if there are multiple such elements, choose one of them as you like).
Let X and Y be the values of the largest and smallest element removed in the Q operations. You would like X−Y to be as small as possible. Find the smallest possible value of X−Y when the Q operations are performed optimally.
Constraints
1≤N≤2000
1≤K≤N
1≤Q≤N−K+1
1≤Ai≤109
All values in input are integers.
Input
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
N K Q
A1 A2 … AN
Output
Print the smallest possible value of X−Y.
Sample Input 1
5 3 2
4 3 1 5 2
Sample Output 1
1
In the first operation, whichever contiguous subsequence of length 3 we choose, the minimum element in it is 1. Thus, the first operation removes A3=1 and now we have A=(4,3,5,2). In the second operation, it is optimal to choose (A2,A3,A4)=(3,5,2) as the contiguous subsequence of length 3 and remove A4=2. In this case, the largest element removed is 2, and the smallest is 1, so their difference is 2−1=1.

题目大意
给定一个n个数的数列和两个整数数K,Q,执行Q次操作:选择一段长度为K的区间,删除其中的最小值。
问:执行Q次操作后,被删除的数的最小值和最大值之差 的最小值是多少?
N<=2e3, 数据保证合法
题解
假设我们已经知道了删掉的数中的最小值,既然已经有了最小值 Y Y ,那么包含比小的数的区间肯定是不能选的了。这样,整个数列就被比 Y Y 小的数分成了若干个区间,假设区间长度为,那么这个区间里可以选的数就是 L−K+1 L − K + 1 个,所以我们把每个区间里最小的 L−k+1 L − k + 1 个数都拿出来放到一起,最后拿出来的数里第 Q Q 小的那个就是删掉的数里面最大的。
那么我们只需要枚举一遍所有最小值,每次取就好了,大功告成,总复杂度 O(n2log2n) O ( n 2 l o g 2 n ) ,实测不卡常。
