大体题意:

一个n*m的矩阵由n行m列共n*m排列而成。两个矩阵A和B可以相乘当且仅当A的列数等于B的行数。一个n*m的矩阵乘m*p的矩阵,运算量为n*m*p。

矩阵乘法不满足分配律,但满足结合律。因此A*B*C既可以按顺序(A*B)*C也可以按A*(B*C)来进行。假设A、B、C分别是2*3、3*4、4*5的,则(A*B)*C运算量是2*3*4+2*4*5=64,A*(B*C)的运算量是3*4*5*2*3*5=90.显然第一种顺序节省运算量。

给出n个矩阵组成的序列,设计一种方法把他们依次乘起来,使得总的运算量尽量小。假设第i个矩阵A[i]是P[i-1]*P[i]的。

思路:

记忆化搜索:

令dp[i][j]表示从第i 个矩阵 一直乘以到 第j 个矩阵的最优解!

那么我们直接枚举中间的乘号  k,

转移方程就是  dp[i][j] = min{dp[i][k] + dp[k+1][j] + p[i-1]*p[k] *p[j]}

假设第i个矩阵式是p[i-1] * p[i];


边界式 dp[i][i] = 0;

详细见代码:


#include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
const int maxn = 100 + 10;
const int inf = 0x3f3f3f3f;
int a[maxn];
int dp[maxn][maxn];
int dfs(int l,int r){
    int& ans = dp[l][r];
    if (ans != -1)return ans;
    if (l == r)return ans = 0;
    if (l+1 == r){
        return ans = a[l-1]*a[l]*a[r];
    }
    ans = inf;
    for (int k = l; k <= r; ++k){
        ans = min(ans,dfs(l,k) + dfs(k+1,r) + a[l-1]*a[k]*a[r]);
    }
    return ans;
}
int main(){
    int n;
    while(scanf("%d",&n) == 1){
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i){
            scanf("%d",&a[i]);
        }
        memset(dp,-1,sizeof dp);
        printf("%d\n",dfs(1,n-1));
    }
    return 0;
}

Multiplication Puzzle



Description



The multiplication puzzle is played with a row of cards, each containing a single positive integer. During the move player takes one card out of the row and scores the number of points equal to the product of the number on the card taken and the numbers on the cards on the left and on the right of it. It is not allowed to take out the first and the last card in the row. After the final move, only two cards are left in the row. 

The goal is to take cards in such order as to minimize the total number of scored points. 

For example, if cards in the row contain numbers 10 1 50 20 5, player might take a card with 1, then 20 and 50, scoring 
10*1*50 + 50*20*5 + 10*50*5 = 500+5000+2500 = 8000
If he would take the cards in the opposite order, i.e. 50, then 20, then 1, the score would be 
1*50*20 + 1*20*5 + 10*1*5 = 1000+100+50 = 1150.


Input



The first line of the input contains the number of cards N (3 <= N <= 100). The second line contains N integers in the range from 1 to 100, separated by spaces.


Output



Output must contain a single integer - the minimal score.


Sample Input


610 1 50 50 20 5


Sample Output


3650
