Garland(推公式,貪心)

The New Year garland consists of N lamps attached to a common wire that hangs down on the ends to which outermost lamps are affixed. The wire sags under the weight of lamp in a particular way: each lamp is hanging at the height that is 1 millimeter lower than the average height of the two adjacent lamps.

The leftmost lamp in hanging at the height of A millimeters above the ground. You have to determine the lowest height B of the rightmost lamp so that no lamp in the garland lies on the ground though some of them may touch the ground.

You shall neglect the lamp's size in this problem. By numbering the lamps with integers from 1 to N

 and denoting the ith lamp height in millimeters as Hi we derive the following equations:

  • H1 = A
  • Hi = (Hi-1 + Hi+1)/2 - 1, for all 1 < i < N
  • HN = B
  • Hi ≥ 0, for all 1 ≤ i ≤ N

The sample garland with 8 lamps that is shown on the picture has A = 15 andB = 9.75.

Input 

The input file consists of several datasets. Each datasets contains a single line with two numbers N

 and Aseparated by a space. N (3 ≤ N ≤ 1000) is an integer representing the number of lamps in the garland, A(10 ≤ A ≤ 1000) is a real number representing the height of the leftmost lamp above the ground in millimeters.

For each dataset, write to the output the single real number B accurate to two digits to the right of the decimal point representing the lowest possible height of the rightmost lamp.

題意:給定n和a,根據題目公式推出最小的B。

思路:推公式,H1 = a. H3 = H2*2 + 2 - H1, H4 = H3 * 2 + 2 - H2.....Hn = Hn - 1 * 2 + 2 - Hn - 2。 這樣以H2做未知數。把係數K和B求出來。每個式子都是

K*H2 + B的形式。然後要求每個式子都大於0,H2儘量小。最後得到的Hn也將最小。

程式碼:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

const int N = 1005;

int n, k[N];
double a, b[N], K;

double solve() {
	K = 0;
	k[1] = 0; b[1] = a; k[2] = 1; b[2] = 0.0;
	for (int i = 3; i <= n; i ++) {
		k[i] = 2 * k [i - 1] - k[i - 2];
		b[i] = 2 * b[i - 1] - b[i - 2] + 2;
		if (K * k[i] + b[i] < 0)
			K = -b[i] / k[i];
	}
	return K * k[n] + b[n];
}

int main() {
	while (~scanf("%d%lf", &n, &a)) {
		printf("%.2lf\n", solve());
	}
	return 0;
}
