Source-first archive entry

This page is built from the copied files in competitive_programming/icpc/2012/D-fibonacci-words. Edit competitive_programming/icpc/2012/D-fibonacci-words/solution.tex to update the written solution and competitive_programming/icpc/2012/D-fibonacci-words/solution.cpp to update the implementation.

The website does not replace those files with hand-maintained HTML. It reads the copied source tree during the build and exposes the exact files below.

Problem Statement

Copied statement text kept beside the solution archive for direct reference.

Problem D
                                     Fibonacci Words
                                    Problem ID: fibonacci
The Fibonacci word sequence of bit strings is defined as:

                                                              if n = 0
                                    
                                     0
                          F (n) =       1                     if n = 1
                                        F (n − 1) + F (n − 2) if n ≥ 2
                                    

Here + denotes concatenation of strings. The first few elements are:
 n   F (n)
 0   0
 1   1
 2   10
 3   101
 4   10110
 5   10110101

 9   1011010110110101101011011010110110101101011011010110101
Given a bit pattern p and a number n, how often does p occur in F (n)?

Input

The first line of each test case contains the integer n (0 ≤ n ≤ 100). The second line contains the bit
pattern p. The pattern p is nonempty and has a length of at most 100 000 characters.

Output

For each test case, display its case number followed by the number of occurrences of the bit pattern p in
F (n). Occurrences may overlap. The number of occurrences will be less than 263 .

Editorial

Rendered from the copied solution.tex file. The original TeX source remains available below.

Key Observations

  • Write the structural observations that make the problem tractable.

  • State any useful invariant, monotonicity property, graph interpretation, or combinatorial reformulation.

  • If the constraints matter, explain exactly which part of the solution they enable.

Algorithm

  1. Describe the data structures and the state maintained by the algorithm.

  2. Explain the processing order and why it is sufficient.

  3. Mention corner cases explicitly if they affect the implementation.

Correctness Proof

We prove that the algorithm returns the correct answer.

Lemma 1.

State the first key claim.

Proof.

Provide a concise proof.

Lemma 2.

State the next claim if needed.

Proof.

Provide a concise proof.

Theorem.

The algorithm outputs the correct answer for every valid input.

Proof.

Combine the lemmas and finish the argument.

Complexity Analysis

State the running time and memory usage in terms of the input size.

Implementation Notes

  • Mention any non-obvious implementation detail that is easy to get wrong.

  • Mention numeric limits, indexing conventions, or tie-breaking rules if relevant.
