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.
Example 1:
Input:zero = 1, one = 1, limit = 2
Output:2
Explanation:
The two possible stable binary arrays are [1,0] and [0,1].
Example 2:
Input:zero = 1, one = 2, limit = 1
Output:1
Explanation:
The only possible stable binary array is [1,0,1].
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 <= 1000
Solutions
Solution 1: Memoization Search
We design a function \(dfs(i, j, k)\) to represent the number of stable binary arrays that satisfy the problem conditions when there are \(i\)\(0\)s and \(j\)\(1\)s left, and the next number to be filled is \(k\). The answer is \(dfs(zero, one, 0) + dfs(zero, one, 1)\).
The calculation process of the function \(dfs(i, j, k)\) is as follows:
If \(i < 0\) or \(j < 0\), return \(0\).
If \(i = 0\), return \(1\) when \(k = 1\) and \(j \leq \textit{limit}\), otherwise return \(0\).
If \(j = 0\), return \(1\) when \(k = 0\) and \(i \leq \textit{limit}\), otherwise return \(0\).
If \(k = 0\), we consider the case where the previous number is \(0\), \(dfs(i - 1, j, 0)\), and the case where the previous number is \(1\), \(dfs(i - 1, j, 1)\). If the previous number is \(0\), it may cause more than \(\textit{limit}\)\(0\)s in the subarray, i.e., the situation where the \(\textit{limit} + 1\)
We can also convert the memoization search of Solution 1 into dynamic programming.
We define \(f[i][j][k]\) as the number of stable binary arrays using \(i\)\(0\)s and \(j\)\(1\)s, and the last number is \(k\). So 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 \(1 \leq j \leq \min(\textit{limit}, \textit{one})\).
