1137. N-th Tribonacci Number

Description

The Tribonacci sequence Tn is defined as follows: 

T0 = 0, T1 = 1, T2 = 1, and Tn+3 = Tn + Tn+1 + Tn+2 for n >= 0.

Given n, return the value of Tn.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 4
Output: 4
Explanation:
T_3 = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2
T_4 = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4

Example 2:

Input: n = 25
Output: 1389537

 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= n <= 37
  • The answer is guaranteed to fit within a 32-bit integer, ie. answer <= 2^31 - 1.

Solutions

Solution 1: Dynamic Programming

According to the recurrence relation given in the problem, we can use dynamic programming to solve it.

We define three variables $a$, $b$, $c$ to represent $T_{n-3}$, $T_{n-2}$, $T_{n-1}$, respectively, with initial values of $0$, $1$, $1$.

Then we decrease $n$ to $0$, updating the values of $a$, $b$, $c$ each time, until $n$ is $0$, at which point the answer is $a$.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(1)$. Here, $n$ is the given integer.

Solution 2: Matrix Exponentiation to Accelerate Recurrence

We define $Tib(n)$ as a $1 \times 3$ matrix $\begin{bmatrix} T_n & T_{n - 1} & T_{n - 2} \end{bmatrix}$, where $T_n$, $T_{n - 1}$ and $T_{n - 2}$ represent the $n$th, $(n - 1)$th and $(n - 2)$th Tribonacci numbers, respectively.

We hope to derive $Tib(n)$ from $Tib(n-1) = \begin{bmatrix} T_{n - 1} & T_{n - 2} & T_{n - 3} \end{bmatrix}$. That is, we need a matrix $base$ such that $Tib(n - 1) \times base = Tib(n)$, i.e.,

\[\begin{bmatrix} T_{n - 1} & T_{n - 2} & T_{n - 3} \end{bmatrix} \times base = \begin{bmatrix} T_n & T_{n - 1} & T_{n - 2} \end{bmatrix}\]

Since $T_n = T_{n - 1} + T_{n - 2} + T_{n - 3}$, the matrix $base$ is:

\[\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\]

We define the initial matrix $res = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$, then $T_n$ is equal to the sum of all elements in the result matrix of $res$ multiplied by $base^{n - 3}$. This can be solved using matrix exponentiation.

The time complexity is $O(\log n)$, and the space complexity is $O(1)$.
