[USACO13MAR] The Cow Run G/S

题目描述

Farmer John has forgotten to repair a hole in the fence on his farm, and his N cows (1 <= N <= 1,000) have escaped and gone on a rampage! Each minute a cow is outside the fence, she causes one dollar worth of damage. FJ must visit each cow to install a halter that will calm the cow and stop the damage.

Fortunately, the cows are positioned at distinct locations along a straight line on a road outside the farm. FJ knows the location P_i of each cow i (-500,000 <= P_i <= 500,000, P_i != 0) relative to the gate (position 0) where FJ starts.

FJ moves at one unit of distance per minute and can install a halter instantly. Please determine the order that FJ should visit the cows so he can minimize the total cost of the damage; you should compute the minimum total damage cost in this case.

农夫约翰的牧场围栏上出现了一个洞,有 NN1N10001\le N\le 1000)只牛从这个洞逃出了牧场。这些出逃的奶牛很狂躁,他们在外面到处搞破坏,每分钟每头牛都会给约翰带来 11 美元的损失。约翰必须用缰绳套住所有的牛,以停止他们搞破坏。

幸运的是,奶牛们都在牧场外一条笔直的公路上,牧场的大门恰好位于公里的 00 点处。约翰知道每头牛距离牧场大门的距离 PiP_i5×105Pi5×105-5\times10^5\le P_i\le5\times 10^5Pi0P_i\ne0)。

约翰从农场大门出发,每分钟移动一个单位距离,每到一头牛所在的地点,约翰就会给它套上缰绳,套缰绳不花时间。按怎样的顺序去给牛套缰绳才能使约翰损失的费用最少?

提示

Four cows placed in positions: -2, -12, 3, and 7.

The optimal visit order is -2, 3, 7, -12. FJ arrives at position -2 in 2 minutes for a total of 2 dollars in damage for that cow.

He then travels to position 3 (distance: 5) where the cumulative damage is 2 + 5 = 7 dollars for that cow.

He spends 4 more minutes to get to 7 at a cost of 7 + 4 = 11 dollars for that cow.

Finally, he spends 19 minutes to go to -12 with a cost of 11 + 19 = 30 dollars.

The total damage is 2 + 7 + 11 + 30 = 50 dollars.
