Fleeting Medians
Define the sequence S_n for n >= 1 by: S_n = s_n mod 10007, where s_n = (prime(n))^2 mod 10007 (Here prime(n) is the n -th prime.) Let M(i, j) be the median of the subsequence S_i, S_(i+1),..., S_j...
Problem Statement
This archive keeps the full statement, math, and original media on the page.
We define two sequences \(S = \{S(1), S(2), ..., S(n)\}\) and \(S_2 = \{S_2(1), S_2(2), ..., S_2(n)\}\):
\(S(k) = (p_k)^k \bmod 10007\) where \(p_k\) is the \(k\)th prime number.
\(S_2(k) = S(k) + S(\lfloor \frac {k}{10000}\rfloor + 1)\) where \(\lfloor \cdot \rfloor \) denotes the floor function.
Then let \(M(i, j)\) be the median of elements \(S_2(i)\) through \(S_2(j)\), inclusive. For example, \(M(1, 10) = 2021.5\) and \(M(10^2, 10^3) = 4715.0\).
Let \(F(n, k) = \sum _{i=1}^{n-k+1} M(i, i + k - 1)\). For example, \(F(100, 10) = 463628.5\) and \(F(10^5, 10^4) = 675348207.5\).
Find \(F(10^7, 10^5)\). If the sum is not an integer, use \(.5\) to denote a half. Otherwise, use \(.0\) instead.
Problem 593: Fleeting Medians
Mathematical Foundation
Theorem 1 (Sliding Window Median via Order Statistics). Given a sequence and window size , the median of each window can be maintained in amortized time per window step using balanced order-statistic data structures.
Proof. We maintain two multisets (or heaps): a max-heap containing the smallest elements of the current window, and a min-heap containing the remaining elements. The median is the top of (for odd ) or the average of the tops (for even ).
When the window slides from to :
- Remove : locate it in or and remove it ().
- Insert : compare with tops of and to determine placement ().
- Rebalance: if and differ by more than the required amount, transfer the top element ().
Each step is , so the total over windows is .
Lemma 1 (Fenwick Tree / BIT for Order Statistics). Since , we can maintain a frequency array with a Fenwick tree supporting:
- : increment by in time, where .
- : find the -th smallest element in time via binary search on prefix sums.
Proof. The Fenwick tree stores prefix sums of the frequency array. To find the -th order statistic, perform a binary search on the index such that and . Each prefix sum query costs , and the binary search has steps, giving per median query. With a Fenwick tree that supports walking down the tree, this improves to .
Theorem 2 (Correctness of Median Computation). For a window of size , the median is the -th smallest element. When is even, the median is the average of the -th and -th smallest.
Proof. By definition of the median for a finite set.
Editorial
We generate sequence S. We then initialize Fenwick tree over [0, 10006]. Finally, compute median for first window. We first generate the primes required by the search, then enumerate the admissible combinations and retain only the values that satisfy the final test.

Complexity Analysis
