a[0] = [1, 1, 1, 0, 0]
a[1] = [1, 1, 0, 0, 1]
a[2] = [0, 1, 1, 1, 0]
# and so on
They seem to be different, but if it is supposed that the start and the end are connected, then they are circularly identical.
The problem is, each list which I have has a length of 55 and contains only three ones and 52 zeros in it. Without circular condition, there are 26,235 (55 choose 3) lists. However, if the condition ‘circular’ exists, there are a huge number of circularly identical lists
Currently I check circularly identity by following:
def is_dup(a, b):
for i in range(len(a)):
if a == list(numpy.roll(b, i)): # shift b circularly by i
return True
return False
This function requires 55 cyclic shift operations at the worst case. And there are 26,235 lists to be compared with each other. In short, I need 55 * 26,235 * (26,235 – 1) / 2 = 18,926,847,225 computations. It’s about nearly 20 Giga!
Is there any good way to do it with less computations? Or any data types that supports circular?
from random import random
bigList =[int(1000* random())for i in xrange(10**6)]
bigList2 = bigList[:]
bigList2.append(bigList2.pop(0))# then test how much time will it take to come up with an answerfrom datetime import datetime
startTime = datetime.now()print isCircular(bigList, bigList2)print datetime.now()- startTime # please fill free to use timeit, but it will give similar results
First off, this can be done in O(n) in terms of the length of the list
You can notice that if you will duplicate your list 2 times ([1, 2, 3]) will be [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3] then your new list will definitely hold all possible cyclic lists.
So all you need is to check whether the list you are searching is inside a 2 times of your starting list. In python you can achieve this in the following way (assuming that the lengths are the same).
Some explanation about my oneliner:
list * 2 will combine a list with itself, map(str, [1, 2]) convert all numbers to string and ' '.join() will convert array ['1', '2', '111'] into a string '1 2 111'.
As pointed by some people in the comments, oneliner can potentially give some false positives, so to cover all the possible edge cases:
P.S.1 when speaking about time complexity, it is worth noticing that O(n) will be achieved if substring can be found in O(n) time. It is not always so and depends on the implementation in your language (although potentially it can be done in linear time KMP for example).
P.S.2 for people who are afraid strings operation and due to this fact think that the answer is not good. What important is complexity and speed. This algorithm potentially runs in O(n) time and O(n) space which makes it much better than anything in O(n^2) domain. To see this by yourself, you can run a small benchmark (creates a random list pops the first element and appends it to the end thus creating a cyclic list. You are free to do your own manipulations)
from random import random
bigList = [int(1000 * random()) for i in xrange(10**6)]
bigList2 = bigList[:]
bigList2.append(bigList2.pop(0))
# then test how much time will it take to come up with an answer
from datetime import datetime
startTime = datetime.now()
print isCircular(bigList, bigList2)
print datetime.now() - startTime # please fill free to use timeit, but it will give similar results
0.3 seconds on my machine. Not really long. Now try to compare this with O(n^2) solutions. While it is comparing it, you can travel from US to Australia (most probably by a cruise ship)

Not knowledgeable enough in Python to answer this in your requested language, but in C/C++, given the parameters of your question, I’d convert the zeros and ones to bits and push them onto the least significant bits of an uint64_t. This will allow you to compare all 55 bits in one fell swoop – 1 clock.
Wickedly fast, and the whole thing will fit in on-chip caches (209,880 bytes). Hardware support for shifting all 55 list members right simultaneously is available only in a CPU’s registers. The same goes for comparing all 55 members simultaneously. This allows for a 1-for-1 mapping of the problem to a software solution. (and using the SIMD/SSE 256 bit registers, up to 256 members if needed) As a result the code is immediately obvious to the reader.
You might be able to implement this in Python, I just don’t know it well enough to know if that’s possible or what the performance might be.
After sleeping on it a few things became obvious, and all for the better.
1.) It’s so easy to spin the circularly linked list using bits that Dali’s very clever trick isn’t necessary. Inside a 64-bit register standard bit shifting will accomplish the rotation very simply, and in an attempt to make this all more Python friendly, by using arithmetic instead of bit ops.
2.) Bit shifting can be accomplished easily using divide by 2.
3.) Checking the end of the list for 0 or 1 can be easily done by modulo 2.
4.) “Moving” a 0 to the head of the list from the tail can be done by dividing by 2. This because if the zero were actually moved it would make the 55th bit false, which it already is by doing absolutely nothing.
5.) “Moving” a 1 to the head of the list from the tail can be done by dividing by 2 and adding 18,014,398,509,481,984 – which is the value created by marking the 55th bit true and all the rest false.
6.) If a comparison of the anchor and composed uint64_t is TRUE after any given rotation, break and return TRUE.
I would convert the entire array of lists into an array of uint64_ts right up front to avoid having to do the conversion repeatedly.
After spending a few hours trying to optimize the code, studying the assembly language I was able to shave 20% off the runtime. I should add that the O/S and MSVC compiler got updated mid-day yesterday as well. For whatever reason/s, the quality of the code the C compiler produced improved dramatically after the update (11/15/2014). Run-time is now ~ 70 clocks, 17 nanoseconds to compose and compare an anchor ring with all 55 turns of a test ring and NxN of all rings against all others is done in 12.5 seconds.
This code is so tight all but 4 registers are sitting around doing nothing 99% of the time. The assembly language matches the C code almost line for line. Very easy to read and understand. A great assembly project if someone were teaching themselves that.

在两行之间阅读时,听起来好像您正在尝试枚举具有3个1和52个0的字符串的每个圆形等效类的代表。让我们从一个密集的表示转换为一个稀疏的表示(中的三个数字的集合range(55))。在此表示形式中,sby 的循环移位k由理解力给出set((i + k) % 55 for i in s)。类中的词典最小代表通常包含位置0。给定一组形式{0, i, j}为的0 < i < j,该类中其他最小候选者为{0, j - i, 55 - i}和{0, 55 - j, 55 + i - j}。因此,我们需要(i, j) <= min((j - i, 55 - i), (55 - j, 55 + i - j))使原件最小。这是一些枚举代码。
def makereps():
reps =[]for i in range(1,55-1):for j in range(i +1,55):if(i, j)<= min((j - i,55- i),(55- j,55+ i - j)):
reps.append('1'+'0'*(i -1)+'1'+'0'*(j - i -1)+'1'+'0'*(55- j -1))return reps
Reading between the lines, it sounds as though you’re trying to enumerate one representative of each circular equivalence class of strings with 3 ones and 52 zeros. Let’s switch from a dense representation to a sparse one (set of three numbers in range(55)). In this representation, the circular shift of s by k is given by the comprehension set((i + k) % 55 for i in s). The lexicographic minimum representative in a class always contains the position 0. Given a set of the form {0, i, j} with 0 < i < j, the other candidates for minimum in the class are {0, j - i, 55 - i} and {0, 55 - j, 55 + i - j}. Hence, we need (i, j) <= min((j - i, 55 - i), (55 - j, 55 + i - j)) for the original to be minimum. Here’s some enumeration code.
def makereps():
reps = []
for i in range(1, 55 - 1):
for j in range(i + 1, 55):
if (i, j) <= min((j - i, 55 - i), (55 - j, 55 + i - j)):
reps.append('1' + '0' * (i - 1) + '1' + '0' * (j - i - 1) + '1' + '0' * (55 - j - 1))
return reps
Repeat the first array, then use the Z algorithm (O(n) time) to find the second array inside the first.
(Note: you don’t have to physically copy the first array. You can just wrap around during matching.)
The nice thing about the Z algorithm is that it’s very simple compared to KMP, BM, etc.
However, if you’re feeling ambitious, you could do string matching in linear time and constant space — strstr, for example, does this. Implementing it would be more painful, though.
Following up on Salvador Dali’s very smart solution, the best way to handle it is to make sure all elements are of the same length, as well as both LISTS are of the same length.
def is_circular_equal(lst1, lst2):
if len(lst1) != len(lst2):
return False
lst1, lst2 = map(str, lst1), map(str, lst2)
len_longest_element = max(map(len, lst1))
template = "{{:{}}}".format(len_longest_element)
circ_lst = " ".join([template.format(el) for el in lst1]) * 2
return " ".join([template.format(el) for el in lst2]) in circ_lst
No clue if this is faster or slower than AshwiniChaudhary’s recommended regex solution in Salvador Dali’s answer, which reads:
import re
def is_circular_equal(lst1, lst2):
if len(lst2) != len(lst2):
return False
return bool(re.search(r"\b{}\b".format(' '.join(map(str, lst2))),
' '.join(map(str, lst1)) * 2))

假设您需要进行大量比较,那么在初次遍历列表时将它们转换为某种可以轻松比较的规范形式是否值得?
您是否要获取一组圆形唯一列表?如果是这样,您可以在转换为元组后将它们放入集合中。
def normalise(lst):# Pick the 'maximum' out of all cyclic optionsreturn max([lst[i:]+lst[:i]for i in range(len(lst))])
a_normalised = map(normalise,a)
a_tuples = map(tuple,a_normalised)
a_unique = set(a_tuples)
Given that you need to do so many comparisons might it be worth your while taking an initial pass through your lists to convert them into some sort of canonical form that can be easily compared?
Are you trying to get a set of circularly-unique lists? If so you can throw them into a set after converting to tuples.
def normalise(lst):
# Pick the 'maximum' out of all cyclic options
return max([lst[i:]+lst[:i] for i in range(len(lst))])
a_normalised = map(normalise,a)
a_tuples = map(tuple,a_normalised)
a_unique = set(a_tuples)

您可以像这样滚动一个列表:
list1, list2 =[0,1,1,1,0,0,1,0],[1,0,0,1,0,0,1,1]
str_list1="".join(map(str,list1))
str_list2="".join(map(str,list2))def rotate(string_to_rotate, result=[]):
result.append(string_to_rotate)for i in xrange(1,len(string_to_rotate)):
result.append(result[-1][1:]+result[-1][0])return result
for x in rotate(str_list1):if cmp(x,str_list2)==0:print"lists are rotationally identical"break
list1, list2 = [0,1,1,1,0,0,1,0], [1,0,0,1,0,0,1,1]
str_list1="".join(map(str,list1))
str_list2="".join(map(str,list2))
def rotate(string_to_rotate, result=[]):
result.append(string_to_rotate)
for i in xrange(1,len(string_to_rotate)):
result.append(result[-1][1:]+result[-1][0])
return result
for x in rotate(str_list1):
if cmp(x,str_list2)==0:
print "lists are rotationally identical"
break
First convert every of your list elements (in a copy if necessary) to that rotated version that is lexically greatest.
Then sort the resulting list of lists (retaining an index into the original list position) and unify the sorted list, marking all the duplicates in the original list as needed.
Piggybacking on @SalvadorDali’s observation on looking for matches of a in any a-lengthed sized slice in b+b, here is a solution using just list operations.
def rollmatch(a,b):
bb=b*2
return any(not any(ax^bbx for ax,bbx in zip(a,bb[i:])) for i in range(len(a)))
l1 = [1,0,0,1]
l2 = [1,1,0,0]
l3 = [1,0,1,0]
rollmatch(l1,l2) # True
rollmatch(l1,l3) # False
Not a complete, free-standing answer, but on the topic of optimizing by reducing comparisons, I too was thinking of normalized representations.
Namely, if your input alphabet is {0, 1}, you could reduce the number of allowed permutations significantly. Rotate the first list to a (pseudo-) normalized form (given the distribution in your question, I would pick one where one of the 1 bits is on the extreme left, and one of the 0 bits is on the extreme right). Now before each comparison, successively rotate the other list through the possible positions with the same alignment pattern.
For example, if you have a total of four 1 bits, there can be at most 4 permutations with this alignment, and if you have clusters of adjacent 1 bits, each additional bit in such a cluster reduces the amount of positions.
List 1 1 1 1 0 1 0
List 2 1 0 1 1 1 0 1st permutation
1 1 1 0 1 0 2nd permutation, final permutation, match, done
This generalizes to larger alphabets and different alignment patterns; the main challenge is to find a good normalization with only a few possible representations. Ideally, it would be a proper normalization, with a single unique representation, but given the problem, I don’t think that’s possible.
Building further on RocketRoy’s answer:
Convert all your lists up front to unsigned 64 bit numbers.
For each list, rotate those 55 bits around to find the smallest numerical value.
You are now left with a single unsigned 64 bit value for each list that you can compare straight with the value of the other lists. Function is_circular_identical() is not required anymore.
(In essence, you create an identity value for your lists that is not affected by the rotation of the lists elements)
That would even work if you have an arbitrary number of one’s in your lists.

Finally
If the list size is going to be pretty huge or if the element we are starting to check the cycle from is frequently high, then we can do the following:
Look for the least-frequent item in the first list to start with
increase the n-gram N parameter to lower the probability of going through a the linear check
An efficient, quick-to-compute “canonical form” for the lists in question can be derived as:
Count the number of zeroes between the ones (ignoring wrap-around), to get three numbers.
Rotate the three numbers so that the biggest number is first.
The first number (a) must be between 18 and 52 (inclusive). Re-encode it as between 0 and 34.
The second number (b) must be between 0 and 26, but it doesn’t matter much.
Drop the third number, since it’s just 52 - (a + b) and adds no information
The canonical form is the integer b * 35 + a, which is between 0 and 936 (inclusive), which is fairly compact (there are 477 circularly-unique lists in total).
public classMain{
public static void main(String[] args){
int[] a ={0,1,1,1,0};
int[] b ={1,1,0,0,1};System.out.println(isCircularIdentical(a, b));}
public static boolean isCircularIdentical(int[] a, int[]b){if(a.length != b.length){return false;}//The outer loop isfor the increase of the index of the second list
outer:for(int i =0; i < a.length; i++){//Loop trough the list and compare each value to the according value of the second list
for(int k =0; k < a.length; k++){// I use modulo length to wrap around the index
if(a[k]!= b[(k + i)% a.length]){//If the values donot match I continueand shift the index one further
continue outer;}}return true;}return false;}}
I wrote an straightforward solution which compares both lists and just increases (and wraps around) the index of the compared value for each iteration.
I don’t know python well so I wrote it in Java, but it’s really simple so it should be easy to adapt it to any other language.
By this you could also compare lists of other types.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args){
int[] a = {0,1,1,1,0};
int[] b = {1,1,0,0,1};
System.out.println(isCircularIdentical(a, b));
}
public static boolean isCircularIdentical(int[] a, int[]b){
if(a.length != b.length){
return false;
}
//The outer loop is for the increase of the index of the second list
outer:
for(int i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
//Loop trough the list and compare each value to the according value of the second list
for(int k = 0; k < a.length; k++){
// I use modulo length to wrap around the index
if(a[k] != b[(k + i) % a.length]){
//If the values do not match I continue and shift the index one further
continue outer;
}

As others have mentioned, once you find the normalized rotation of a list, you can compare them.
Heres some working code that does this,
Basic method is to find a normalized rotation for each list and compare:
Calculate a normalized rotation index on each list.
Loop over both lists with their offsets, comparing each item, returning if they mis-match.
Note that this method is it doesn’t depend on numbers, you can pass in lists of strings (any values which can be compared).
Instead of doing a list-in-list search, we know we want the list to start with the minimum value – so we can loop over the minimum values, searching until we find which one has the lowest successive values, storing this for further comparisons until we have the best.
There are many opportunities to exit early when calculating the index, details on some optimizations.
Skip searching for the best minimum value when theres only one.
Skip searching minimum values when the previous is also a minimum value (it will never be a better match).
Skip searching when all values are the same.
Fail early when lists have different minimum values.
Use regular comparison when offsets match.
Adjust offsets to avoid wrapping the index values on one of the lists during comparison.
Note that in Python a list-in-list search may well be faster, however I was interested to find an efficient algorithm – which could be used in other languages too. Also, there is some advantage to avoiding to create new lists.

You can check to see if a list A is equal to a cyclic shift of list B in expected O(N) time pretty easily.
I would use a polynomial hash function to compute the hash of list A, and every cyclic shift of list B. Where a shift of list B has the same hash as list A, I’d compare the actual elements to see if they are equal.
The reason this is fast is that with polynomial hash functions (which are extremely common!), you can calculate the hash of each cyclic shift from the previous one in constant time, so you can calculate hashes for all of the cyclic shifts in O(N) time.
It works like this:
Let’s say B has N elements, then the the hash of B using prime P is:
Hb=0;
for (i=0; i<N ; i++)
{
Hb = Hb*P + B[i];
}
This is an optimized way to evaluate a polynomial in P, and is equivalent to:
Hb=0;
for (i=0; i<N ; i++)
{
Hb += B[i] * P^(N-1-i); //^ is exponentiation, not XOR
}
Notice how every B[i] is multiplied by P^(N-1-i). If we shift B to the left by 1, then every every B[i] will be multiplied by an extra P, except the first one. Since multiplication distributes over addition, we can multiply all the components at once just by multiplying the whole hash, and then fix up the factor for the first element.
The hash of the left shift of B is just
Hb1 = Hb*P + B[0]*(1-(P^N))
The second left shift:
Hb2 = Hb1*P + B[1]*(1-(P^N))
and so on…
NOTE: all math above is performed modulo some machine word size, and you only have to calculate P^N once.
