Gas Station

Description:

There are N gas stations along a circular route, where the amount of gas at station i is gas[i].

You have a car with an unlimited gas tank and it costs cost[i] of gas to travel from station i to its next station (i+1). You begin the journey with an empty tank at one of the gas stations.

Return the starting gas station's index if you can travel around the circuit once, otherwise return -1.

Note:
The solution is guaranteed to be unique.

Code:

    int canCompleteCircuit(vector<int>& gas, vector<int>& cost) {
        if (gas.size()==0 || cost.size()==0 || gas.size()!=cost.size() )
            return -1;
        int total = 0;
        int sum = 0;
        int startStation = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < gas.size(); ++i)
        {
            int diff = (gas[i]-cost[i]);
            total += diff;
            if (sum < 0)
            {
                sum = diff;
                startStation = i;
            }
            else
                sum += diff;
        }
        return total < 0?-1:startStation;
    }

判断条件:

从0号加油站开始,找到能开到最后一个加油站的加油站q,并且全部加油站的加油量减去消耗量的指非负(即能从0号加油站开到q),则q为我们要找的加油站。

分析:

这道题最直观的思路,是逐个尝试每一个站点,从站 i 点出发,看看是否能走完全程。如果不行,就接着试着从站点 i+1出发。

假设从站点 i 出发,到达站点 k 之前,依然能保证油箱里油没见底儿,从k 出发后,见底儿了。那么就说明 diff[i] + diff[i+1] + ... + diff[k] < 0,而除掉diff[k]以外,从diff[i]开始的累加都是 >= 0的。也就是说diff[i] 也是 >= 0的,这个时候我们还有必要从站点 i + 1 尝试吗?仔细一想就知道:车要是从站点 i+1出发,到达站点k后,甚至还没到站点k,油箱就见底儿了,因为少加了站点 i 的油。。。

因此,当我们发现到达k 站点邮箱见底儿后,i 到 k 这些站点都不用作为出发点来试验了,肯定不满足条件,只需要从k+1站点尝试即可!因此解法时间复杂度从O(n2)降到了 O(2n)。之所以是O(2n),是因为将k+1站作为始发站,车得绕圈开回k,来验证k+1是否满足。

等等,真的需要这样吗?

我们模拟一下过程:

a. 最开始,站点0是始发站,假设车开出站点p后,油箱空了,假设sum1 = diff[0] +diff[1] + ... + diff[p],可知sum1 < 0;

b. 根据上面的论述,我们将p+1作为始发站,开出q站后,油箱又空了,设sum2 = diff[p+1] +diff[p+2] + ... + diff[q],可知sum2 < 0。

c. 将q+1作为始发站,假设一直开到了未循环的最末站,油箱没见底儿,设sum3 = diff[q+1] +diff[q+2] + ... + diff[size-1],可知sum3 >= 0。

要想知道车能否开回 q 站,其实就是在sum3 的基础上,依次加上 diff[0] 到 diff[q],看看sum3在这个过程中是否会小于0。但是我们之前已经知道 diff[0] 到 diff[p-1] 这段路,油箱能一直保持非负,因此我们只要算算sum3 + sum1是否 <0,就知道能不能开到 p+1站了。如果能从p+1站开出,只要算算sum3 + sum1 + sum2 是否 < 0,就知都能不能开回q站了。

因为 sum1, sum2 都 < 0,因此如果 sum3 + sum1 + sum2 >=0 那么 sum3 + sum1 必然 >= 0,也就是说,只要sum3 + sum1 + sum2 >=0,车必然能开回q站。而sum3 + sum1 + sum2 其实就是 diff数组的总和 Total,遍历完所有元素已经算出来了。因此 Total 能否 >= 0,就是是否存在这样的站点的 充分必要条件

这样时间复杂度进一步从O(2n)降到了 O(n)。

用c++解决pipeline system consists of N transfer station, some of which are connected by pipelines. For each of M pipelines the numbers of stations A[i] and B[i], which are connected by this pipeline, and its profitability C[i] are known. A profitability of a pipeline is an amount of dollars, which will be daily yielded in taxes by transferring the gas through this pipeline. Each two stations are connected by not more than one pipeline. The system was built by Soviet engineers, who knew exactly, that the gas was transferred from Ukrainian gas fields to Siberia and not the reverse. That is why the pipelines are unidirectional, i.e. each pipeline allows gas transfer from the station number A[i] to the station number B[i] only. More over, if it is possible to transfer the gas from the station X to the station Y (perhaps, through some intermediate stations), then the reverse transfer from Y to X is impossible. It is known that the gas arrives to the starting station number S and should be dispatched to the buyers on the final station number F. The President ordered the Government to find a route (i.e. a linear sequence of stations which are connected by pipelines) to transfer the gas from the starting to the final station. A profitability of this route should be maximal. A profitability of a route is a total profitability of its pipelines. Unfortunately, the President did not consider that some pipelines ceased to exist long ago, and, as a result, the gas transfer between the starting and the final stations may appear to be impossible... Input The first line contains the integer numbers N (2 ≤ N ≤ 500) and M (0 ≤ M ≤ 124750). Each of the next M lines contains the integer numbers A[i], B[i] (1 ≤ A[i], B[i] ≤ N) and C[i] (1 ≤ C[i] ≤ 10000) for the corresponding pipeline. The last line contains the integer numbers S and F (1 ≤ S, F ≤ N; S ≠ F). Output If the desired route exists, you should output its profitability. Otherwise you should output "No solution".
