You are given a 0-indexed array of integers nums of length n, and two positive integers k and dist.
The cost of an array is the value of its first element. For example, the cost of [1,2,3] is 1 while the cost of [3,4,1] is 3.
You need to divide nums into kdisjoint contiguous subarrays, such that the difference between the starting index of the second subarray and the starting index of the kth subarray should be less than or equal todist. In other words, if you divide nums into the subarrays nums[0..(i1 - 1)], nums[i1..(i2 - 1)], ..., nums[ik-1..(n - 1)], then ik-1 - i1 <= dist.
Return the minimum possible sum of the cost of thesesubarrays.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,3,2,6,4,2], k = 3, dist = 3
Output: 5
Explanation: The best possible way to divide nums into 3 subarrays is: [1,3], [2,6,4], and [2]. This choice is valid because ik-1 - i1 is 5 - 2 = 3 which is equal to dist. The total cost is nums[0] + nums[2] + nums[5] which is 1 + 2 + 2 = 5.
It can be shown that there is no possible way to divide nums into 3 subarrays at a cost lower than 5.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [10,1,2,2,2,1], k = 4, dist = 3
Output: 15
Explanation: The best possible way to divide nums into 4 subarrays is: [10], [1], [2], and [2,2,1]. This choice is valid because ik-1 - i1 is 3 - 1 = 2 which is less than dist. The total cost is nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2] + nums[3] which is 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 15.
The division [10], [1], [2,2,2], and [1] is not valid, because the difference between ik-1 and i1 is 5 - 1 = 4, which is greater than dist.
It can be shown that there is no possible way to divide nums into 4 subarrays at a cost lower than 15.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [10,8,18,9], k = 3, dist = 1
Output: 36
Explanation: The best possible way to divide nums into 3 subarrays is: [10], [8], and [18,9]. This choice is valid because ik-1 - i1 is 2 - 1 = 1 which is equal to dist.The total cost is nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2] which is 10 + 8 + 18 = 36.
The division [10], [8,18], and [9] is not valid, because the difference between ik-1 and i1 is 3 - 1 = 2, which is greater than dist.
It can be shown that there is no possible way to divide nums into 3 subarrays at a cost lower than 36.
Constraints:
3 <= n <= 105
1 <= nums[i] <= 109
3 <= k <= n
k - 2 <= dist <= n - 2
Solutions
Solution 1: Ordered Set
Thinking
Unlike part I, \(k\) and \(\textit{dist}\) vary and \(n \le 10^5\). The first subarray still costs \(\textit{nums}[0]\); the other \(k-1\) starts must lie in a window of length \(\textit{dist}+1\).
Each window needs the sum of its \(k-1\) smallest values. Sorting every window is too slow.
Two sorted lists keep the \(k-1\) smallest window values and the rest, together with the sum of the former. A slide inserts into the left or right list by magnitude and rebalances the sizes.
The problem requires us to divide the array \(\textit{nums}\) into \(k\) consecutive and non-overlapping subarrays, and the distance between the first element of the second subarray and the first element of the \(k\)-th subarray should not exceed \(\textit{dist}\). This is equivalent to finding a subarray of size \(\textit{dist}+1\) starting from the element at index \(1\) in \(\textit{nums}\), and calculating the sum of the smallest \(k-1\) elements in it. We subtract \(1\) from \(k\), so we only need to find the sum of the smallest \(k\) elements and add \(\textit{nums}[0]\) to it.
We can use two ordered sets \(\textit{l}\) and \(\textit{r}\) to maintain the elements of the window of size \(\textit{dist} + 1\). The set \(\textit{l}\) maintains the smallest \(k\) elements, while the set \(\textit{r}\) maintains the remaining elements of the window. We maintain a variable \(\textit{s}\) to represent the sum of \(\textit{nums}[0]\) and the elements in \(\textit{l}\). Initially, we add the sum of the first \(\textit{dist}+2\) elements to \(\textit{s}\) and add all elements with indices \([1, \textit{dist} + 1]\) to \(\textit{l}\). If the size of \(\textit{l}\) is greater than \(k\), we repeatedly move the largest element from \(\textit{l}\) to \(\textit{r}\) until the size of \(\textit{l}\) equals \(k\), updating the value of \(\textit{s}\) in the process.
At this point, the initial answer is \(\textit{ans} = \textit{s}\).
Next, we traverse \(\textit{nums}\) starting from \(\textit{dist}+2\). For each element \(\textit{nums}[i]\), we need to remove \(\textit{nums}[i-\textit{dist}-1]\) from either \(\textit{l}\) or \(\textit{r}\), and then add \(\textit{nums}[i]\) to either \(\textit{l}\) or \(\textit{r}\). If \(\textit{nums}[i]\) is less than the largest element in \(\textit{l}\), we add \(\textit{nums}[i]\) to \(\textit{l}\); otherwise, we add it to \(\textit{r}\). If the size of \(\textit{l}\) is less than \(k\), we move the smallest element from \(\textit{r}\) to \(\textit{l}\) until the size of \(\textit{l}\) equals \(k\). If the size of \(\textit{l}\) is greater than \(k\), we move the largest element from \(\textit{l}\) to \(\textit{r}\) until the size of \(\textit{l}\) equals \(k\). During this process, we update the value of \(\textit{s}\) and update \(\textit{ans} = \min(\textit{ans}, \textit{s})\).
The final answer is \(\textit{ans}\).
The time complexity is \(O(n \times \log \textit{dist})\), and the space complexity is \(O(\textit{dist})\). Here, \(n\) is the length of the array \(\textit{nums}\).
