You are given 3 positive integers zero, one, and limit.
A binary arrayarr is called stable if:
The number of occurrences of 0 in arr is exactly zero.
The number of occurrences of 1 in arr is exactlyone.
Each subarray of arr with a size greater than limit must contain both 0 and 1.
Return the total number of stable binary arrays.
Since the answer may be very large, return it modulo109 + 7.
Β
Example 1:
Input:zero = 1, one = 1, limit = 2
Output:2
Explanation:
The two possible stable binary arrays are [1,0] and [0,1], as both arrays have a single 0 and a single 1, and no subarray has a length greater than 2.
Example 2:
Input:zero = 1, one = 2, limit = 1
Output:1
Explanation:
The only possible stable binary array is [1,0,1].
Note that the binary arrays [1,1,0] and [0,1,1] have subarrays of length 2 with identical elements, hence, they are not stable.
Example 3:
Input:zero = 3, one = 3, limit = 2
Output:14
Explanation:
All the possible stable binary arrays are [0,0,1,0,1,1], [0,0,1,1,0,1], [0,1,0,0,1,1], [0,1,0,1,0,1], [0,1,0,1,1,0], [0,1,1,0,0,1], [0,1,1,0,1,0], [1,0,0,1,0,1], [1,0,0,1,1,0], [1,0,1,0,0,1], [1,0,1,0,1,0], [1,0,1,1,0,0], [1,1,0,0,1,0], and [1,1,0,1,0,0].

Constraints:
1 <= zero, one, limit <= 200
Solutions
Solution 1: Memoized Search
We define a function \(\textit{dfs}(i, j, k)\) to represent the number of stable binary arrays that satisfy the problem conditions when there are \(i\) zeros and \(j\) ones remaining to place, and the next digit to fill is \(k\). Then the answer is \(\textit{dfs}(\textit{zero}, \textit{one}, 0) + \textit{dfs}(\textit{zero}, \textit{one}, 1)\).
The computation process of \(\textit{dfs}(i, j, k)\) is as follows:
If \(i \lt 0\) or \(j \lt 0\), return \(0\).
If \(i = 0\), then return \(1\) when \(k = 1\) and \(j \leq \textit{limit}\); otherwise return \(0\).
If \(j = 0\), then return \(1\) when \(k = 0\) and \(i \leq \textit{limit}\); otherwise return \(0\).
If \(k = 0\), we consider the case where the previous digit is \(0\), i.e., \(\textit{dfs}(i - 1, j, 0)\), and the case where the previous digit is \(1\), i.e., \(\textit{dfs}(i - 1, j, 1)\). If the previous digit is \(0\), there may be more than \(\textit{limit}\) zeros in a subarray, which means the case where the \((\textit{limit} + 1)\)-th digit from the end is \(1\) is invalid, so we subtract this case: \(\textit{dfs}(i - \textit{limit} - 1, j, 1)\).
If \(k = 1\), we consider the case where the previous digit is \(0\), i.e., \(\textit{dfs}(i, j - 1, 0)\), and the case where the previous digit is \(1\), i.e., \(\textit{dfs}(i, j - 1, 1)\). If the previous digit is \(1\), there may be more than \(\textit{limit}\) ones in a subarray, which means the case where the \((\textit{limit} + 1)\)-th digit from the end is \(0\) is invalid, so we subtract this case: \(\textit{dfs}(i, j - \textit{limit} - 1, 0)\).
To avoid repeated computation, we use memoized search.
The time complexity is \(O(\textit{zero} \times \textit{one})\), and the space complexity is \(O(\textit{zero} \times \textit{one})\).
We can also convert the memoized search in Solution 1 into dynamic programming.
We define \(f[i][j][k]\) as the number of stable binary arrays that use \(i\) zeros and \(j\) ones, with the last digit being \(k\). Then the answer is \(f[zero][one][0] + f[zero][one][1]\).
Initially, we have \(f[i][0][0] = 1\), where \(1 \leq i \leq \min(\textit{limit}, \textit{zero})\); and \(f[0][j][1] = 1\), where \(1 \leq j \leq \min(\textit{limit}, \textit{one})\).
