Test instructions

Enter a sequence of positive integers for an n (n≤100000) element, and a continuous sub-sequence so that the greatest common divisor of all elements in the sequence is the largest product of the sequence length.
For example, the 5 elements of the sequence 30, 60, 20, 20, 20 of the optimal solution is {60, 20, 20, 20}, the product is gcd (60,20,20,20) *4=80.

Analysis:

The right boundary J of the sequence is enumerated from left to right, and the left boundary I≤j is quickly obtained, making MGCD (I,J) the largest.
where MGCD (I,J) is defined as GCD (a[i],a[i+1],..., a[j]) * (j-i+1).
Consider sequence 5, 8, 6, 2, 6, 8, when j=5 need to compare I=1, 2, 3, 4, 5 o'clock MGCD (I,J), as shown in the following table:

I=1,GCD expression =gcd (5,8,6,2,6), gcd value = 1, sequence length = 5.
I=2,GCD expression =gcd (8,6,2,6), gcd value = 2, sequence length = 4.
I=3,GCD expression =gcd (6,2,6), gcd value = 2, sequence length = 3.
I=4,GCD expression =gcd (2,6), gcd value = 2, sequence length = 2.
I=5,GCD expression =GCD (6), gcd value = 6, sequence length = 1.

From the bottom up, the GCD expression is one more element at a time, sometimes gcd, sometimes smaller, and each time the hour becomes a certain number of it.
In other words, there are only logj of different GCD values! When the GCD value is the same, the larger the sequence length the better, so you can simplify the table:

GCD value =1,i=1.
GCD value =2,i=2.
GCD value =6,i=5.

Since there are only LOGJ elements in the table, it is possible to compare each I-MGCD (i,j) in turn, with a time complexity of O (LOGJ).
Let's consider how the table will change when J is changed from 5 to 6 o'clock.
First, all of the above GCD values are then a6=8 gcd, and then to join the I=6 project, the GCD value is 8.
Because the same GCD value only needs to retain the minimum value of I, i=5 is deleted and finally gets the result as shown in the following table.

GCD value =1,i=1.
GCD value =2,i=2.
GCD value =8,i=6.

The total time complexity is O (NLOGN).

Code:

 
 1 #include <cstdio>
 2 #include <vector>
 3 using namespace std;
 4 
 5 typedef long long int LLI;
 6 struct Item {
 7     LLI g;
 8     int p;
 9 };
10 
11 LLI gcd(LLI a, LLI b) {
12     return b == 0 ? a : gcd(b, a%b);
13 }
14 
15 int main() {
16     int T, n;
17     LLI v, ans;
18     scanf("%d", &T);
19     while(T--) {
20         ans = 0;
21         vector<Item> vec;
22         scanf("%d", &n);
23         for(int t = 0; t < n; t++) {
24             scanf("%lld", &v);
25             for(int i = 0; i < vec.size(); i++) vec[i].g = gcd(vec[i].g, v);
26             vec.push_back((Item){v,t});
27             vector<Item> nvec;
28             for(int i = 0; i < vec.size(); i++) {
29                 if(i != 0 && vec[i].g == vec[i-1].g) continue;
30                 ans = max(ans, vec[i].g * (t-vec[i].p+1));
31                 nvec.push_back(vec[i]);
32             }
33             vec = nvec;
34         }
35         printf("%lld\n", ans);
36     }
37     return 0;
38 }
