Necklace Merging Optimization Using Interval Dynamic Programming
Circular Array Trensformation
To handle circular arrangements, duplicate the necklace elements:
for (int idx = 0; idx < n; idx++)
elements[idx + n] = elements[idx];
Dynamic Programming Formluation
Define energyMatrix[i][j] as the maximum energy obtianed by merging the interval from index i to j. The state transition equation is:
\[ \te ...
