Minimize the sum of product of two arrays with permutations allowed
Given two arrays, A and B, of equal size n, the task is to find the minimum value of A[0] * B[0] + A[1] * B[1] +…+ A[n-1] * B[n-1]. Shuffling of elements of arrays A and B is allowed.
Examples :
Input : A[] = {3, 1, 1} and B[] = {6, 5, 4}. Output : 23 Minimum value of S = 1*6 + 1*5 + 3*4 = 23. Input : A[] = { 6, 1, 9, 5, 4 } and B[] = { 3, 4, 8, 2, 4 } Output : 80. Minimum value of S = 1*8 + 4*4 + 5*4 + 6*3 + 9*2 = 80.
The idea is to multiply minimum element of one array to maximum element of another array. Algorithm to solve this problem:
- Sort both the arrays A and B.
- Traverse the array and for each element, multiply A[i] and B[n – i – 1] and add to the total.
Note: We are adding multiplication of elements which can lead to overflow conditions.
Below image is an illustration of the above approach:
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ program to calculate minimum sum of product // of two arrays. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // Returns minimum sum of product of two arrays // with permutations allowed long long int minValue( int A[], int B[], int n) { // Sort A and B so that minimum and maximum // value can easily be fetched. sort(A, A + n); sort(B, B + n); // Multiplying minimum value of A and maximum // value of B long long int result = 0; for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++) result += (A[i] * B[n - i - 1]); return result; } // Driven Code int main() { int A[] = { 3, 1, 1 }; int B[] = { 6, 5, 4 }; int n = sizeof (A) / sizeof (A[0]); cout << minValue(A, B, n) << endl; return 0; } |

Time Complexity: O(n log n).
Auxiliary Space: O(1) because it is using constant space for variables
