确定可能的项目组的算法

标签: java algorithm

我正试图这样做而且正在吃我。我知道这不复杂。我有很多项目,这个数字可以等于或大于3。然后我需要确定完成总计的项目组的可能组合。唯一的限制是团体应该有三件或更多件,不超过(但包括)七件。

例如:

如果我有7个项目,那么我可以拥有这些可能的组:

  • 1组7项。
  • 1组4项和1组3项。

如果我有12个项目,我可以拥有这些可能的组:

  • 4组3项。
  • 3组4项。
  • 2组6项。
  • 1组7项+ 1组5项。
  • 2组3组和1组6项。
  • 1组3组,1组4组和1组5项。
  • ...

我考虑过递归并开始实现算法。这显然不起作用。我吮吸递归。很多。

//Instance Fields
public List<ArrayList<String>> options;

//Method that will generate the options. The different options are 
//stored in a list of "option". An individual option will store a list of
//strings with the individual groups.
public void generateOptions(int items, ArrayList<String> currentOption){

    //If the current option is null, then create a new option.
    if(currentOption == null){
        currentOption = new ArrayList<String>();
    }
    if(items < 3){
        //If the number of items is less than three then it doesn't comply with the 
        //requirements (teams should be more or equal than three. 
        currentOption.add("1 group of "+items+" items");
        options.add(currentOption);
    }
    else{
        //I can make groups of 3,4,5,6 and 7 items.
        for(int i = 3;i<=7;i++){
            if(items%i == 0){ 
                // If the number of items is divisible per the current number, 
                // then a possible option could be items/i groups of i items. 
                // Example: Items = 9. A possible option is 3 groups of 3 items.
                currentOption.add(items/i +" groups of "+ i+" items");
                options.add(currentOption);
            }
            else{
                // If the number of items - the current number is equal or greater than
                // three, then a possible option could be a group of i items
                // and then I'll have items-i items to separate in other groups.
                if(items - i >=3){
                    currentOption.add("1 group of "+i+" items");
                    generateOptions(items-i,currentOption);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

这是一个算法(用C ++表示)来解决问题的更一般版本, 在每个分区中可能出现的加数上有任意上限和下限:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

typedef vector<int> Partition;
typedef vector<Partition> Partition_list;

// Count and return all partitions of an integer N using only 
// addends between min and max inclusive.

int p(int min, int max, int n, Partition_list &v)
{
   if (min > max) return 0;
   if (min > n) return 0;     
   if (min == n) {
      Partition vtemp(1,min);
      v.push_back(vtemp);
      return 1;
   }
   else {
     Partition_list part1,part2;
     int p1 = p(min+1,max,n,part1);
     int p2 = p(min,max,n-min,part2);
     v.insert(v.end(),part1.begin(),part1.end());
     for(int i=0; i < p2; i++)
     {
        part2[i].push_back(min);
     }
     v.insert(v.end(),part2.begin(),part2.end());
     return p1+p2;
   }
}

void print_partition(Partition &p)
{
   for(int i=0; i < p.size(); i++) {
      cout << p[i] << ' ';
   }
   cout << "\n";
}

void print_partition_list(Partition_list &pl)
{
   for(int i = 0; i < pl.size(); i++) {
      print_partition(pl[i]);
   }
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   Partition_list v_master;

   int n = atoi(argv[1]);
   int min = atoi(argv[2]);
   int max = atoi(argv[3]);
   int count = p(min,max,n,v_master);
   cout << count << " partitions of " << n << " with min " << min  ;
   cout << " and max " << max << ":\n" ;
   print_partition_list(v_master);
}

一些示例输出:

$ ./partitions 12 3 7              
6 partitions of 12 with min 3 and max 7:
6 6 
7 5 
4 4 4 
5 4 3 
6 3 3 
3 3 3 3 
$ ./partitions 50 10 20            
38 partitions of 50 with min 10 and max 20:
17 17 16 
18 16 16 
18 17 15 
19 16 15 
20 15 15

答案 1 :(得分:3)

可以通过递归来完成。你没有说你是否只想要可能性或实际可能性。

您要做的一件事是避免重复,这意味着不要将4和3统计为3和4.一种方法是创建非降序组大小的序列。

可能最好的数据结构是树:

root
+- 12
+- 9
|  +- 3
+- 8
|  +- 4
+- 7
|  +- 5
+- 6
|  +- 6
|  +- 3
|     +- 3
+- 5
|  +- 4
|     +- 3
+- 4
|  +- 4
|     +- 4
+- 3
   +- 3
      +- 3
         +- 3

然后,要查找组合数,您只需计算叶节点数。要找到实际组合,您只需走树。

构建这样一棵树的算法是这样的:

  • 函数buildTree(int size,int minSize,Tree root)
  • isize计算minSize;
  • 使用值i;
  • 创建当前节点的子节点
  • 对于jminSize之间小于或等于i的每个i
    • 创建值为j
    • 的新子项
    • 调用`buildTree(j,minSize,new node)

或非常接近的东西。

这将是n的partitions个数,它只包含集合中的整数[3,7]

类似于常规分区问题(其中元素可以是任何正整数):

http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A000041

我没有看到完全匹配此约束的现有数字序列,但您可以像这样计算组(在python中)。这可以采取任意范围(在这种情况下为[3,7])并计算所有a,b,c,d,e(3 * a + 4 * b + 5 * c + 6 * d + 7 * e)总和为n的序列。

import sys

# All partitions for a particular n:

def groups(n, base, minBase, sum, sets, group = []):
  c = 0; i = (n - sum) / base
  while i >= 0:
    s = sum + base * i
    if s == n:
      sets.append(group + [i]);
      c = c + 1
    elif s < n and base > minBase:
      c = c + groups(n, base - 1, minBase, s, sets, (group + [i]))
    i = i - 1
  return c

# Partitions for each n in [1,maxNum]

def run(maxNum):
  for i in xrange(1, maxNum + 1):
    sets = []; maxBase = 7; minBase = 3
    n = groups(i, maxBase, minBase, 0, sets)
    print '    %d has %d groups:\n' % (i, n)
    for g in sets:
      x = len(g) - 1
      sys.stdout.write('      ')
      while x >= 0:
        if g[x] > 0:
          if x < len(g) - 1: sys.stdout.write(' + ')
          sys.stdout.write('(%d * %d)' % (maxBase - x, g[x]))
        x = x - 1
      print ''
    if len(sets): print ''

run(40)

我认为树是思考它的最好方法,但你可以使用递归来构建一个树,而不需要明确地创建树。您可以将根视为总数。使用大小为3-7的组,您需要找到总计达总数的组合组合。

您可以使用0组7组,1组7组,2组7组等。对于每个值,您可以使用0组6,1组6,等等。树的第一级将代表使用了多少7个。第二个级别是使用了多少6个等等。当你使用x 7时,你需要弄清楚6个,5个,4个和3个的组合可以用来总结(sum-x * 7) ,等等每个较低级别(递归调用)。

您的树将始终有5个级别。

使用递归来构建树,这里有一个小的Python代码示例(没有尝试修剪树,它将探索整个事物)。

MIN = 3
MAX = 7

def findComb(remaining, start, path):
   times = remaining/start

   if start == MIN:
       if remaining % MIN == 0:
           print "%s, %d %d's" % (path[1:], times, start)
       return

   for i in range(0, times+1):
       findComb(remaining- (i*start), start-1, "%s, %d %d's" % (path, i, start))


findComb(12, MAX, "")

输出:

0 7's, 0 6's, 0 5's, 0 4's, 4 3's
0 7's, 0 6's, 0 5's, 3 4's, 0 3's
0 7's, 0 6's, 1 5's, 1 4's, 1 3's
0 7's, 1 6's, 0 5's, 0 4's, 2 3's
0 7's, 2 6's, 0 5's, 0 4's, 0 3's
1 7's, 0 6's, 1 5's, 0 4's, 0 3's

在伪代码中:

List<String> results;

void YourAnswer(int n) {
    GeneratePossiblities("", [3, 4, 5, 6, 7], n);
}

void GeneratePossibilities(String partialResult, List<int> buildingBlocks, int n) {
    if (n == 0) {
        // We have a solution
        results.Add(partialResult);
    } else if (buildingBlocks.IsEmpty()) {
        // Dead-end: there is no solution that starts with the partial result we have and contains only the remaining building blocks
        return;
    } else {
        int first = buildingBlocks.First();
        buildingBlocks.PopFirst();
        for (int i = 0, i < n/first; i++) {
          GeneratePossibilities(partialResult + " " + i + "groups of " + first,
                                buildingBlocks, 
                                n - i * first);
        }
    }
}

前两个案例非常简单。第三个,你弄清楚(例如)有多少个大小为3的组 - 可以是0到n / 3之间的任何数字,然后用[4,5,6,7]等递归函数。

您所描述的是partition function的不太通用的版本。

已经给出的算法非常复杂,这里更简单(伪代码,我会留给你翻译成Java :)

p(min, n):
    if min > n: return 0
    if min = n: return 1
    return p(min+1, n) + p(min, n-min)
