2851. String Transformation

Description

You are given two strings s and t of equal length n. You can perform the following operation on the string s:

  • Remove a suffix of s of length l where 0 < l < n and append it at the start of s.
    For example, let s = 'abcd' then in one operation you can remove the suffix 'cd' and append it in front of s making s = 'cdab'.

You are also given an integer k. Return the number of ways in which s can be transformed into t in exactly k operations.

Since the answer can be large, return it modulo 109 + 7.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "abcd", t = "cdab", k = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: 
First way:
In first operation, choose suffix from index = 3, so resulting s = "dabc".
In second operation, choose suffix from index = 3, so resulting s = "cdab".

Second way:
In first operation, choose suffix from index = 1, so resulting s = "bcda".
In second operation, choose suffix from index = 1, so resulting s = "cdab".

Example 2:

Input: s = "ababab", t = "ababab", k = 1
Output: 2
Explanation: 
First way:
Choose suffix from index = 2, so resulting s = "ababab".

Second way:
Choose suffix from index = 4, so resulting s = "ababab".

 

Constraints:

  • 2 <= s.length <= 5 * 105
  • 1 <= k <= 1015
  • s.length == t.length
  • s and t consist of only lowercase English alphabets.

DP, Z-algorithm, Fast mod.
Approach
How to represent a string?
Each operation is just a rotation. Each result string can be represented by an integer from 0 to n - 1. Namely, it's just the new index of s[0].
How to find the integer(s) that can represent string t?
Create a new string s + t + t (length = 3 * n).
Use Z-algorithm (or KMP), for each n <= index < 2 * n, calculate the maximum prefix length that each substring starts from index can match, if the length >= n, then (index - n) is a valid integer representation.
How to get the result?
It's a very obvious DP.
If we use an integer to represent a string, we only need to consider the transition from zero to non-zero and from non-zero to zero. In other words, all the non-zero strings should have the same result.
So let dp[t][i = 0/1] be the number of ways to get the zero/nonzero string
after excatly t steps.
Then
dp[t][0] = dp[t - 1][1] * (n - 1).
All the non zero strings can make it.
dp[t][1] = dp[t - 1][0] + dp[t - 1] * (n - 2).
For a particular non zero string, all the other non zero strings and zero string can make it.
We have dp[0][0] = 1 and dp[0][1] = 0
Use matrix multiplication.
How to calculate dp[k][x = 0, 1] faster?
Use matrix multiplication
vector (dp[t - 1][0], dp[t - 1][1])
multiplies matrix
[0 1]
[n - 1 n - 2]
== vector (dp[t][0], dp[t - 1][1]).
So we just need to calculate the kth power of the matrix which can be done by fast power algorith.
