How to solve A from DIVAB? I know how to solve most tasks, except A, C, F and L.
Hi, Codeforces.
Recently I have been thinking about the following task:
You are given $$$N$$$ lines of form $$$f_i(x) = a_i * x + b_i$$$ and $$$Q$$$ queries of form $$$x_j, k_j$$$ — if we sort all of the values of lines in point $$$x_j$$$, which line would be on the $$$k_j$$$-th spot? The queries are offline. I will use $$$K$$$ — the maximum out of all $$$k_j$$$.
I thought about this and developed some methods:
The first one runs in $$$O(sqrt(N)logN + KlogKsqrt(N)$$$ pre query and is online. We use sqrt-decomposition, build CHT on every block, for each query we do the following: run over the blocks, get $$$K$$$ minimums and the blocks where they occurred. Now we know that the needed minimum lies inside one of this blocks, we can now iterate over $$$K * sqrt(N)$$$ blocks, maintaining the $$$K$$$ smallest values with a set.
The second one runs in $$$O(NKlogNlogMAX)$$$ total: for each position from $$$i$$$ to $$$K$$$, we do the following: process the queries left to right, get the current minimum with its index. On the next walkthrough, we will use D&C to delete that line before this query using Li-Chao tree, and then add it back.
The third one runs in $$$O(N^2logN + QlogQ)$$$. We generate all $$$O(N^2)$$$ points of intersection, sort them together with the requests, then simply swap the two lines which intersect.
So, all of these are kinda not good enough(((. If anyone can share any ideas, I will be extremely grateful.
We hope you liked the problems.
Task A was invented and prepared by induk_v_tsiane.
Task B was invented by induk_v_tsiane, and prepared by i_love_penguins.
Task C was invented and prepared by induk_v_tsiane.
Task D was invented by i_love_penguins and efimovpaul, and prepared by i_love_penguins.
Task E was invented by induk_v_tsiane and kristevalex, and prepared by induk_v_tsiane.
Task F was invented by induk_v_tsiane and Artyom123, and prepared by induk_v_tsiane.
What does it mean that $$$A$$$ divides $$$B$$$?
First, if all numbers are equal, then there is no answer (since $$$a$$$ is divisible by $$$a$$$, if both arrays are non-empty, then $$$c_1$$$ is a divisor of $$$b_1$$$).
Second, if $$$a$$$ is divisible by $$$b$$$ and they are both natural numbers, then the following equality holds: $$$b \le a$$$ (by definition, if $$$a$$$ is divisible by $$$b$$$, then $$$a$$$ can be represented as $$$k \dot b$$$, where $$$k$$$ is a natural number).
Now we can place all instances of the smallest number into $$$b$$$, and all other numbers into $$$c$$$. It can be seen that such a construction always gives a valid answer.

1859B - Olya and Game with Arrays
Do all numbers in a single array really matter?
If only the first minimum and the second minimum matter, what is the only way to increase a single array's beauty?
What can we say about the array which will have the smallest number in the end?
To increase the answer for each array separately, it is necessary to move the minimum to another array. Then, notice that it is optimal to move all the minimums to one array. Let's figure out which array. After moving the minimum from an array, the second minimum in the original array becomes the new minimum. Then, it is easy to notice that it is optimal to move all the minimums to the array with the smallest second minimum. After all the movements, we will have one array where the minimum element is the smallest number among all the arrays, and $$$n-1$$$ arrays where the minimum element is the second minimum in the original array.
Therefore, the answer to the problem will be $$$M + K - S$$$, where $$$M$$$ is the minimum element among all the arrays, $$$K$$$ is the sum of all the second minimums, and $$$S$$$ is the smallest second minimum.

1859C - Another Permutation Problem
What if we fix the maximum element in the resulting array?
Try using greedy.
Optimize the log factor away by noticing a certain fact.
Let's fix the maximum element in an array — let it be $$$M$$$. Now, let's iterate from $$$n$$$ to $$$1$$$. Let the current chosen number be $$$i$$$. I claim that if we maintain the remaining available numbers to multiply by, then it is optimal to take the maximum such number $$$x$$$ that $$$x * i \le M$$$.
Proof: let's say that this is not correct. Then, let's say that we pair $$$i$$$ with another number $$$x1$$$, and $$$x$$$ gets paired with some other number $$$i1$$$. Then, $$$i1 < i$$$, because it was chosen later, and $$$x1 < x$$$ (otherwise $$$i * x1 > M$$$). Now let's swap $$$x$$$ with $$$x1$$$. The sum is increased by $$$i * x - i * x1 - i1 * x + i1 * x1 = (i - i1)(x - x1) > 0$$$, and all of the numbers are less or equal to $$$M$$$.
Now the task can be solved in $$$O(N^3logN)$$$ by simply iterating on the maximum from $$$N^2$$$ to $$$1$$$, while maintaining the remaining numbers with a set. In order to squeeze it in the TL, you can only consider such maximums that they can be represented as $$$i * j, 1 \le i, j \le n$$$.
In order to optimize it to $$$O(N^3)$$$, let's notice that for each number $$$x$$$, it can be paired with any number from $$$1$$$ to $$$\frac{M} {x}$$$. Now just maintain a stack of all available elements at the current moment, add all numbers that possible, and pop the maximum number for all $$$i$$$ from $$$1$$$ to $$$N$$$.

1859D - Andrey and Escape from Capygrad
What if we use greedy a bit?
Where it is always beneficial to teleport?
Use scanline
Statement: It is always beneficial to teleport to point $$$b_i$$$.
Proof: Let's assume that we were able to teleport from point $$$X$$$ to the right of $$$b_i$$$, but not from $$$b_i$$$. Then we used some segment $$$A$$$ that covers point $$$X$$$, but does not cover point $$$b$$$, and ends to the right of $$$b$$$. This is a contradiction.
Let $$$ans_i$$$ be the maximum coordinate we can reach while being on segment $$$i$$$, and let $$$p_j$$$ be the answer to the $$$j$$$-th query. Then we notice that the answer to query $$$p_j = \max(x_j, \max_{i = 1}^n {ans_i \vert l_i \le x_j \le r_i})$$$.
We will use the scanline method from the end. Events: $$$l_i$$$, $$$b_i$$$, $$$r_i$$$, $$$x_j$$$.
We notice that events of type $$$r_i$$$ are not important to us when scanning from the end (according to statement number 1). It is important for us that we process events of type $$$b_i$$$ first, then events of type $$$x_j$$$, and then events of type $$$l_i$$$ (closing the segment in the scanline).
We will go through the events of the scanline, processing them in the order of $$$b_i$$$, then events of type $$$x_j$$$, and then events of type $$$l_i$$$.
We assume that there is a data structure that allows us to add elements, remove elements, and quickly output the maximum.
For each event of type $$$b_i$$$, update the value of $$$ans_i$$$ — take the maximum value of $$$ans$$$ of all open segments from the structure.
For each event of type $$$x_j$$$, update the value of $$$p_j$$$ — take the maximum value of $$$ans$$$ of all open segments from the structure, as well as $$$x_j$$$.
For each event of type $$$l_i$$$, remove $$$ans_i$$$ from the structure.
We notice that to solve this problem, we can use the std::multiset} container, which automatically sorts elements in ascending order. We can store in $$$multiset$$$ $$$ans_i$$$ of all open segments. And then, when processing events, extract the maximum from $$$multiset$$$, all operations are performed in $$$O(\log n)$$$. This allows us to solve the problem in $$$O((n + q) \log n)$$$ time and $$$O(n)$$$ memory.

Maybe we can relax some conditions?
Do we really need to always correctly calculate all sums?
Optimize the obvious dp.
Let's call the value of a segment $$$[l; r]$$$ $$$f(l, r) = abs(a_l - b_r) + abs(a_r - b_l)$$$.
Let's write $$$dp[n1][k1]$$$ — maximum value of segments of total length $$$k1$$$ that end before $$$n1$$$.
The obvious way to recalc is the following:
$$$dp[n1][k1] = max(dp[n1 - 1][k1], dp[n1 - l][k1 - l] + f(n1 - l + 1, n1), 1 \le l \le k1)$$$.
This works in $$$O(NK^2)$$$ and is too slow.
Now let's consider the following: instead of getting the absolute value of segment $$$[l; r]$$$, we consider the maximum of the following four combinations: $$$b_l - a_r + b_r - a_l$$$, $$$b_l - a_r - b_r + a_l$$$, $$$-b_l + a_r + b_r - a_l$$$, $$$-b_l + a_r - b_r + a_l$$$. We can see that this always gives us the correct answer to the absolute value, since we check all of the possibilities.
Now we can look at out dp states as a table, and notice that we recalc over the diagonal (we recalc over all states that have the same value of n1 — k1).
Now, for each "diagonal", we maintain four maximum combinations: $$$dp[n1][k1] + b_{k1} + a_{k1}, dp[n1][k1] - b_{k1} + a_{k1}, dp[n1][k1] + b_{k1} - a_{k1}, dp[n1][k1] - b_{k1} - a_{k1}$$$, and when we want to recalc state $$$dp[n2][k2]$$$, we just consider all of the four possibilities.

1859F - Teleportation in Byteland
How many times do we really need to take driving courses?
Can you think how would an optimal answer path look like?
Can you recalculate the distances required to get to a city from every vertex?
Root the tree arbitrarily.
First, we can notice that there is no need to take driving courses more than $$$log{maxW}$$$ times.
Now, let's iterate for the number of driving courses we take from $$$0$$$ to $$$20$$$ ($$$2^{20} > 1000000$$$). For each number we solve separately.
Let us fix the number of taken as $$$q$$$. Now the path looks like the following: we go over the simple path, then we veer off to take courses in some town, then we come back to the path and finish it. Let's call $$$d[x]$$$ the minimum distance required to get from $$$x$$$ to a town which offers driving courses and then come back to the same town. We can recalculate $$$d[x]$$$ with multi-source BFS.
Now, let's look at the vertex $$$v1$$$ on the path, from which we will start going off the path. Then, the cost of the path is $$$d[v1]$$$ + distance from $$$a$$$ to $$$v1$$$ on the original edges (with $$$c = 1$$$) + distance from $$$v1$$$ to $$$b$$$ on the modified edges(with $$$c = 2^{q}$$$).
Now let's look at some cases, let $$$LCA$$$ be the LCA of $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$, $$$h1[x]$$$ — the sum of all original edges from the root downwards to $$$x$$$, $$$h2[x]$$$ — the sum of all modified edges from the root downwards to $$$x$$$.
If $$$v1$$$ is between $$$LCA$$$ and $$$a$$$, the cost is $$$h1[a] - h1[v1] + d1[v1] - h2[LCA] + h2[v1] + h2[b] - h2[LCA]$$$. If $$$v1$$$ is between $$$LCA$$$ and $$$a$$$, the cost is $$$h1[a] - h1[LCA] + h1[v1] - h1[LCA] + d1[v1] + h2[b] - h2[v1]$$$. Now we simply need to consider the terms which depend only on $$$v1$$$, and then we need to take the maximum value on a path. For that we can use binary lifting, and for LCA as well.

Some notes/challenges:
We know about the $$$O(N^2)$$$ solution in C, but we did not find a good suitable proof for it (and, using the method, we could achieve faster solutions).
You can solve $$$D$$$ without the constraint that the segments are contained, but that is harder. It is solvable in $$$(ONlogN)$$$.
Thank you all for participating! If you have any complaints/suggestions/advice for future rounds, feel free to share in the comments!
We are happy to invite you to Codeforces Round 892 (Div. 2), which will take place on Aug/12/2023 17:35 (Moscow time). All of the problems are original and were prepared by a collective of authors, consisting of kristevalex, i_love_penguins, efimovpaul and me, induk_v_tsiane. This round will be rated for participants with a rating lower than 2100.
