1659. Maximize Grid Happiness

Description

You are given four integers, m, n, introvertsCount, and extrovertsCount. You have an m x n grid, and there are two types of people: introverts and extroverts. There are introvertsCount introverts and extrovertsCount extroverts.

You should decide how many people you want to live in the grid and assign each of them one grid cell. Note that you do not have to have all the people living in the grid.

The happiness of each person is calculated as follows:

  • Introverts start with 120 happiness and lose 30 happiness for each neighbor (introvert or extrovert).
  • Extroverts start with 40 happiness and gain 20 happiness for each neighbor (introvert or extrovert).

Neighbors live in the directly adjacent cells north, east, south, and west of a person's cell.

The grid happiness is the sum of each person's happiness. Return the maximum possible grid happiness.

 

Example 1:

Input: m = 2, n = 3, introvertsCount = 1, extrovertsCount = 2
Output: 240
Explanation: Assume the grid is 1-indexed with coordinates (row, column).
We can put the introvert in cell (1,1) and put the extroverts in cells (1,3) and (2,3).
- Introvert at (1,1) happiness: 120 (starting happiness) - (0 * 30) (0 neighbors) = 120
- Extrovert at (1,3) happiness: 40 (starting happiness) + (1 * 20) (1 neighbor) = 60
- Extrovert at (2,3) happiness: 40 (starting happiness) + (1 * 20) (1 neighbor) = 60
The grid happiness is 120 + 60 + 60 = 240.
The above figure shows the grid in this example with each person's happiness. The introvert stays in the light green cell while the extroverts live on the light purple cells.

Example 2:

Input: m = 3, n = 1, introvertsCount = 2, extrovertsCount = 1
Output: 260
Explanation: Place the two introverts in (1,1) and (3,1) and the extrovert at (2,1).
- Introvert at (1,1) happiness: 120 (starting happiness) - (1 * 30) (1 neighbor) = 90
- Extrovert at (2,1) happiness: 40 (starting happiness) + (2 * 20) (2 neighbors) = 80
- Introvert at (3,1) happiness: 120 (starting happiness) - (1 * 30) (1 neighbor) = 90
The grid happiness is 90 + 80 + 90 = 260.

Example 3:

Input: m = 2, n = 2, introvertsCount = 4, extrovertsCount = 0
Output: 240

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= m, n <= 5
  • 0 <= introvertsCount, extrovertsCount <= min(m * n, 6)

Solutions

Solution 1: Ternary State Compression + Memoization

We notice that in the problem, $1 \leq m, n \leq 5$, and each grid cell has three states: no personnel assigned, introverted personnel assigned, and extroverted personnel assigned. Therefore, we can use $0$, $1$, $2$ to represent these three states, and each row in the grid can be represented by a ternary number of length $n$.

We define a function $dfs(i, pre, ic, ec)$, which represents the maximum happiness of the grid starting from the $i$-th row, with the state of the previous row being $pre$, $ic$ introverted people left, and $ec$ extroverted people left. The answer is $dfs(0, 0, introvertsCount, extrovertsCount)$.

The calculation process of the function $dfs(i, pre, ic, ec)$ is as follows:

If $i = m$, it means that all rows have been processed, so return $0$;

If $ic = 0$ and $ec = 0$, it means that all people have been assigned, so return $0$;

Otherwise, enumerate the current row's state $cur$, where $cur \in [0, 3^n)$, then calculate the happiness $f[cur]$ of the current row, and the contribution $g[pre][cur]$ to the happiness between the state $pre$ of the previous row, and recursively calculate $dfs(i + 1, cur, ic - ix[cur], ec - ex[cur])$, finally return the maximum value of $f[cur] + g[pre][cur] + dfs(i + 1, cur, ic - ix[cur], ec - ex[cur])$, that is:

$$ dfs(i, pre, ic, ec) = \max_{cur} {f[cur] + g[pre][cur] + dfs(i + 1, cur, ic - ix[cur], ec - ex[cur])} $$

Where:

  • $ix[cur]$ represents the number of introverted people in state $cur$;
  • $ex[cur]$ represents the number of extroverted people in state $cur$;
  • $f[cur]$ represents the initial happiness of the people in state $cur$;
  • $g[pre][cur]$ represents the contribution to happiness of two adjacent state rows.

These values can be obtained through preprocessing. And we can use the method of memoization to avoid repeated calculations.

The time complexity is $O(3^{2n} \times (m \times ic \times ec + n))$, and the space complexity is $O(3^{2n} + 3^n \times m \times ic \times ec)$. Where $ic$ and $ec$ represent the number of introverted and extroverted people, respectively.
