poj1958——Strange Towers of Hanoi

作者:互联网

The teacher points to the blackboard (Fig. 4) and says: "So here is the problem:

So your task is to write a program that calculates the smallest number of disk moves necessary to move all the disks from tower A to C."
Charlie: "This is incredibly boring—everybody knows that this can be solved using a simple recursion.I deny to code something as simple as this!"
The teacher sighs: "Well, Charlie, let's think about something for you to do: For you there is a fourth tower D. Calculate the smallest number of disk moves to move all the disks from tower A to tower D using all four towers."
Charlie looks irritated: "Urgh. . . Well, I don't know an optimal algorithm for four towers. . . "
Problem
So the real problem is that problem solving does not belong to the things Charlie is good at. Actually, the only thing Charlie is really good at is "sitting next to someone who can do the job". And now guess what — exactly! It is you who is sitting next to Charlie, and he is already glaring at you.
Luckily, you know that the following algorithm works for n <= 12: At first k >= 1 disks on tower A are fixed and the remaining n-k disks are moved from tower A to tower B using the algorithm for four towers.Then the remaining k disks from tower A are moved to tower D using the algorithm for three towers. At last the n - k disks from tower B are moved to tower D again using the algorithm for four towers (and thereby not moving any of the k disks already on tower D). Do this for all k 2 ∈{1, .... , n} and find the k with the minimal number of moves.
So for n = 3 and k = 2 you would first move 1 (3-2) disk from tower A to tower B using the algorithm for four towers (one move). Then you would move the remaining two disks from tower A to tower D using the algorithm for three towers (three moves). And the last step would be to move the disk from tower B to tower D using again the algorithm for four towers (another move). Thus the solution for n = 3 and k = 2 is 5 moves. To be sure that this really is the best solution for n = 3 you need to check the other possible values 1 and 3 for k. (But, by the way, 5 is optimal. . . )

题意:

本题大意是求n个盘子四座塔的hanoi问题的最少步数。输出n为1~12个盘子时各自的答案。

 

Solution:

首先考虑n个盘子3座塔的最少步数。设d[n]表示n个盘子的最少步数,则易得递推方程:d[n]=d[n-1]*2+1,意思是把前n-1个盘子从A柱移到B柱,然后把第n个盘子移到C柱,最后把前n-1个盘子移到C柱。

那么回到本题,设f[n]表示n个盘子4座塔的最少步数。则易得递推方程:f[n]=min{2*f[i]+d[n-i]}(1<=i<n),其中f[1]=1。

上式意思是,先把i个盘子在4塔模式下移到B柱,然后把n-i个盘子在3塔模式下移到D柱,最后把i个盘子在4塔模式下移到D柱。考虑所有可能的i取最小值,就得到了上述式子。

由本题其实可以推及到n个盘子m座塔的最小步数。

代码:

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#define ll long long
#define il inline
#define debug printf("%d %s\n",__LINE__,__FUNCTION__)
using namespace std;
int d[20],f[20];
int main()
{
    for(int i=1;i<=12;i++)d[i]=d[i-1]*2+1;
    memset(f,0x3f,sizeof(f));
    for(int i=1;i<=12;i++){
        if(i==1)f[1]=1;
        else for(int j=1;j<i;j++)f[i]=min(f[j]*2+d[i-j],f[i]);
        printf("%d\n",f[i]);
    }
    return 0;
}
