算法在不改变播放的情况下最小化播放列表

发布于 2024-10-05 01:36:37 字数 378 浏览 6 评论 0原文

我正在寻找一种算法来减少有序但非唯一项目的列表(播放列表)。 搜索集合论,但还没有找到任何合适的

例子

[a, b, b, c] -> [a, b, b, c] Cannot be reduced. 
[a, b, b, a, b, b] -> [a, b, b]. 
[b, b, b, b, b] -> [b]. 
[b, b, b, b, a] -> [b, b, b, b, a] Cannot be reduced. 

考虑获取所有现有的子列表并计算每个实例。 如果存在这样一个子列表,其中计数乘以子列表长度等于原始列表,则取符合此条件的最短子列表。

这看起来有点蛮力,必须有一个更简单/更快的解决方案可用。

Im looking for an algorithm to reduce a list (playlist) of ordered but not unique items.
Searched for set theory but havent found anything suitable yet

Examples

[a, b, b, c] -> [a, b, b, c] Cannot be reduced. 
[a, b, b, a, b, b] -> [a, b, b]. 
[b, b, b, b, b] -> [b]. 
[b, b, b, b, a] -> [b, b, b, b, a] Cannot be reduced. 

Thinking of getting all existing sublists and count each instance.
If there is such a sublist where the count times the sublist length is equal to the orginal list, take the shortest sublist matching this criteria.

This seems a bit brute force, there must be a simpler/faster solution available.

对于初学者,您不需要检查所有子列表 - 只需检查那些长度是完整列表长度的因子的子列表。

如果您主要关心的是编码简单性而不是原始速度,只需让正则表达式引擎解决问题即可:

/^(.+?)\1+$/

这是 Abigail 很棒的 Perl 正则表达式来查找素数

For starters, you don't need to check all sublists -- just those with lengths that are factors of the length of the full list.

If your main concern is coding simplicity rather than raw speed, just let a regex engine solve the problem:

/^(.+?)\1+$/

Which is a variant on Abigail's awesome Perl regex to find prime numbers.

对于每个 n <= N(其中 N 是列表的长度),如果 nN< 的因子/代码>。如果是,则检查重复前 n 个字符的子列表是否生成原始列表。如果是,那么您就找到了一个潜在的答案(答案是最短的)。这应该会让你的效率低​​于 O(N^2),但在最坏的情况下仍然与暴力破解相同的效率。

您可以通过注意以下事项进行一些修剪:例如,如果长度为 2 的子列表成功生成前 4 个字符但未生成完整列表,则长度为 4 的子列表将失败。您可以保留所有此类子列表长度的列表以检查,这将减少一些计算。

For each n <= N (where N is the length of the list), if n is a factor of N. If it is, then check if repeating the sublist of the first n characters generates the original list. If it does, then you've found a potential answer (the answer is the shortest). This should get you down to less than O(N^2) but still the same order of efficiency as brute force in the worst case.

You can do some pruning by noting that, if for example a sublist of length 2 successfully generates the first 4 characters but not the full list, then a sublist of length 4 will fail. You can keep a list of all such sublist lengths to not check and this will cut down on some computation.

用素数对每个集合元素进行编码。

例如:

a -> 2
b -> 3
c -> 5

等等。

现在,您还需要维护两个列表。

第一个列表是素数,第二个列表是它们的指数。

这个想法是;当你偶然发现一个元素时,记录它的素数以及它连续出现的次数。

对于 [a, b, b, c],您会得到:

[2, 3, 3, 5]

可以记录为:

[2, 3^2, 5]

或者,更准确地说:

[2^1, 3^2, 5^1]

并且您维护两个列表:

[2,3,5]  // primes in succession - list [p]
[1,2,1]  // exponents - list [e]

现在,您从末尾迭代这两个列表中间,检查第一个元素 [p]^[e] 是否与最后一个元素相同;如果是,那么第二个是倒数第二个,依此类推...如果所有这些都相同,则可以减少您的列表。

在此示例中,您检查是否 2^1*5^1 == 3^2*3^2;既然不是,就不能减少。

让我们尝试一下 [a, b, b, a, b, b]

这被编码为

[2^1, 3^2, 2^1, 3^2]

or,

[2, 3, 2, 3]  // primes
[1, 2, 1, 2]  // exponents

现在,我们检查是否 2^1 * 3^2 == 3^2 * 2^1 (第一个素数,第一个指数乘以最后一个素数,最后一个指数,然后与第二个素数和倒数第二个进行比较)

由于这个成立,所以它是可约的。

让我们尝试一下 [b, b, b, b, b]

这可以编码为

[3^5]

or,

[3]  // primes
[5]  // exponents

这是一种特殊情况:如果您有 1 个元素列表,那么您的原始列表是可简化的。

让我们尝试一下 [b, b, b, b, a]

这可以编码为

[3^4, 2^1]

or,

[3, 2]  // primes
[4, 1]  // exponents

我们检查是否 3^4 == 2^1,因为它不是,你的列表是不可缩减的。

让我们尝试一下 [a, b, a, b, a, b]

这可以编码为

[2^1, 3^1, 2^1, 3^1, 2^1, 3^1]

or,

[2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3]
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

尝试上述过程是有效的,因为 2^1 * 3^1 == 3 ^1 * 2^1 == 2^1 * 3^1

因此,算法将如下所示:


将所有数字编码为素数。

迭代列表,创建两个列表并按照描述填充它们

现在您有了两个列表,pe,它们的长度都是 n 执行此操作:

var start = p[0]^e[0] * p[n-1]^e[n-1]
var reducible = true;

for (int i = 0; i < n/2, ++i) :
   if ( (p[i]^e[i] * p[n-i]^e[n-i]) != start ) :
       reducible = false;
       break;

注意:我并没有真正编写该算法并针对各种输入进行尝试。这只是一个想法。
另外,如果列表是可简化的,从它的长度和 n 的长度来看,应该不难看出如何将原始列表简化为其基本形式。

第二个注意:如果有人看到上面的错误,请纠正我。可能这一切都不起作用,因为已经很晚了,而且我的注意力也没有达到最佳状态。

Encode every set element with a prime number.

Ex:

a -> 2
b -> 3
c -> 5

etc.

Now, you need two more lists to maintain.

First list is for primes, second is for their exponents.

The idea is; when you stumble upon an element, record it's prime number and how many times in succession it appears.

For [a, b, b, c], you get this:

[2, 3, 3, 5]

Which can be recorded as:

[2, 3^2, 5]

or, more precisely:

[2^1, 3^2, 5^1]

and you maintain two lists:

[2,3,5]  // primes in succession - list [p]
[1,2,1]  // exponents - list [e]

Now, you iterate through these two lists from ends to middle, by checking if first element [p]^[e] is the same as last element; if it is, then second with next to last and so on... If all of them are the same, your list can be reduced.

In this example, you check if 2^1*5^1 == 3^2*3^2; and since it's not, it cannot be reduced.

Let's try [a, b, b, a, b, b]:

This is encoded as

[2^1, 3^2, 2^1, 3^2]

or,

[2, 3, 2, 3]  // primes
[1, 2, 1, 2]  // exponents

Now, we check if 2^1 * 3^2 == 3^2 * 2^1 (first prime, first exponent multiplied with last prime, last exponent, and then compared with second against next to last)

Since this holds, it is reducible.

Let's try [b, b, b, b, b]:

This can be encoded as

[3^5]

or,

[3]  // primes
[5]  // exponents

This is a special case: if you've got 1 element lists, then your original list is reducible.

Let's try [b, b, b, b, a]:

This can be encoded as

[3^4, 2^1]

or,

[3, 2]  // primes
[4, 1]  // exponents

We check if 3^4 == 2^1, and since it is not, your list is not reducible.

Let's try [a, b, a, b, a, b]:

This can be encoded as

[2^1, 3^1, 2^1, 3^1, 2^1, 3^1]

or,

[2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3]
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

Trying the above procedure works, because 2^1 * 3^1 == 3^1 * 2^1 == 2^1 * 3^1

So, the algorithm would be something like this:


Encode all numbers to primes.

Iterating through your list, make two lists and populate them as described

Now that you have your two lists, p and e, both of them having length n do this:

var start = p[0]^e[0] * p[n-1]^e[n-1]
var reducible = true;

for (int i = 0; i < n/2, ++i) :
   if ( (p[i]^e[i] * p[n-i]^e[n-i]) != start ) :
       reducible = false;
       break;

Note: I didn't really code this algorithm and try it out for various inputs. It's just an idea.
Also, if a list is reducible, from it's length and length of n, it shouldn't be too hard to see how to reduce the original list to its basic form.

Second note: if anyone sees a mistake above, please correct me. It's possible that nothing of this really works since it's late and my concentration isn't optimal.

这是一些简单的代码,应该以接近线性的时间运行(我认为最坏的情况是 O(n lg lg n),依赖于一些更高的数学)。

f(x) {
  i = 1;
  while (i <= size(x) / 2) {
    if (size(x) % i != 0) { i++; continue;}
    b = true;
    for (j = 0; j + i < x.size(); j++) {
      if (x[i] != x[j]) {
        b = false;
        break;
      }
    }
    if (b) return i;
    i = max(i + 1, j / i * i / 2); // skip some values of i if j is large enough
  }
  return -1;
}

本质上,上面执行的是朴素算法,但跳过了一些周期性,这些周期性由于早期的“未遂事件”而已知是不可能的。例如,如果您尝试 5 的周期并看到“aaaabaaaabaaaabaaaabab”,则可以安全地跳过 6、7、...、10,因为我们看到了 4 个 5 重复周期,然后失败。

最终,您最终会完成线性工作量加上 sigma(n) 线性工作量,sigma(n) 是 n 的除数之和,其边界为 O(n lg lg n)。

*请注意,证明这种跳过的正确性非常微妙,我可能在细节上犯了错误——欢迎评论。

Here's some simple code that should run in close to linear time (at worst O(n lg lg n) I think, relying on some higher math).

f(x) {
  i = 1;
  while (i <= size(x) / 2) {
    if (size(x) % i != 0) { i++; continue;}
    b = true;
    for (j = 0; j + i < x.size(); j++) {
      if (x[i] != x[j]) {
        b = false;
        break;
      }
    }
    if (b) return i;
    i = max(i + 1, j / i * i / 2); // skip some values of i if j is large enough
  }
  return -1;
}

Essentially, the above performs the naive algorithm, but skips some periodicities which are known to be impossible due to earlier "near-misses". For example, if you try a period of 5 and see "aaaabaaaabaaaabaaaabab", you can safely skip 6, 7,..., 10 since we saw 4 cycles of 5 repeat and then a failure.

Ultimately, you end up doing a linear amount of work plus an amount of work that is linear in sigma(n), the sum of the divisors of n, which is bounded by O(n lg lg n).

*Note that proving the correctness of this skipping is pretty subtle, and I may have made a mistake on the details -- comments welcome.
