## algorithms – How to find i largest numbers in unsorted array in O(n) where i

If we have length $$n$$ unsorted array such that each element is integer and different, how to find $$i$$ largest numbers in linear time O(n)? but $$i leq n^{frac{1}{2}}$$.

For example, if we have $$A = (11, 6, 8, 1, 9, 100, 88)$$ and input $$i = 2$$, then output is $$(100, 88)$$ (sorted).

## css – What is the largest pixel viewport for smartphones?

I am trying to develop a simple CMS-agnostic, HTML-PHP-JavaScript-CSS mobile-first contact form.

I want to give my <form> tag a max-width in the CSS file.

I don’t know what should be the max-width to cover all viewports of all “smartphone”s out there.

What is the largest pixel viewport for smartphones?
Is there a standard about viewports per se anywhere? One could help create better user experience

## algorithms – Better version of heavy-light decomposition: always draw path to largest subtree

Can someone tell me if this works? It seems to be easier to implement and also creates slightly less paths (though still O(log N) ).

The problem: given any tree of size N, find a way to split it into some disjoint paths such that from any node, you can reach the root by passing through log N paths. Heavy light decomposition: https://cp-algorithms.com/graph/hld.html

I was thinking that a small modification is that instead of choosing an edge only when a child’s subtree is of size at least half of this subtree, you just choose the largest subtree. Proof that this works is the same: when you switch paths, the size of the subtree must at least double.

Edit: just noticed that the link also mentions you can do this, so I’m wondering why heavy-light decomposition is used instead of this, because this seems easier to understand and also slightly more performant (because of less paths).

## What is the possible largest loss value in deep learning?

According to the definition of MSE loss function :
L(w, b) = MSE = 1/2N\$sigma(y - h(x))^2\$
If one model was so perfectly wrong, then MSE shall be 2N/2N =1.
But most of the time, I would observe value much higher, so I am wondering if there’s upper boundary for loss?

## dynamic programming – What problem is this? Largest sum produced by selecting one number at each index from n lists, with restrictions

Suppose you have an $$ntimes m$$ 2D array consisting of each $$n$$ rows of $$m$$ real numbers. What is the sequence of indexes $$i_1,i_2…i_m$$ such that $$sum_{j=1}^mA[i_j, j]$$ is maximized, subject to the constraint that each run of a value in $$i_1…i_m$$ must be at least $$r$$ entries long?

A correct algorithm with time linear in $$m$$ seems possible with dynamic programming. It would be even nicer to know the name of the problem and some academic reference to a correct solution. This is a minor methodological step in an analysis I’m doing for an interpersonal communication research paper, so ideally I’d like to find a paper to cite. This smells very similar to the dynamic programming homework problems I did in undergrad, so I’d be surprised if there isn’t work on it.

In practice, $$m approx 12000$$, $$n=3$$, and $$20 leq r leq 200$$.

## co.combinatorics – Largest number N for which injective mapping \$f: 2^N to 2^8 times 2^8 times 2^8\$ which is Lipschitz-1 CT with \$Kleq 3\$ exists

I have a function on $$h: (0,1) to (0,1)$$ whose output is smooth (polynomial of low degree), and I need to discretize it but I need to save it with three 8 bit numbers. These three 8 bit numbers need to be ok to interpolate, so basically the definition of Lipschitz continuity.

That is I want to find a way to store my $$xin (0,1)$$ numbers as $$f(x)in 2^8 times 2^8 times 2^8$$ and I would like:

$$|f(x_1)-f(x_2)| leq K |x_1 – x_2|$$

With K not too large, and store as many $$x$$s as possible (I am interested in inverting this map later).

Now, I know how to do it with $$K=3$$ and for $$2^8$$: Just divide $$(0,1)$$ into $${ frac{1,2,…,256}{256} }$$ and have $$f(x) mapsto (256x,256x,256x)$$.

The question is how much better can I do? Can I save $$2^N$$ $$x$$s with a small $$K$$ and large $$N$$? I know I could save $$2^{24}$$ if $$K$$ was huge, but I would like to find a middle ground.

As I understand the folding solution from another question will have a big $$K$$ in my case if we consider neighboring elements in the image of $$f$$ which cut across the folds.

Find the thirteen adjacent digits in the 1000-digit number that have
the greatest product. What is the value of this product?

This is my solution to the problem above.

> def largest_product_series(n, series):
>     series = str(series)
>     largest = 0
>     for i in range(0,1000-n):
>         temp = np.prod((int(series(j)) for j in range(i,n+i)))
>         largest = max(temp, largest)
>     return largest

I am having a hard time figuring out what is wrong with my code. It works just fine with n = 4. But somehow it didn’t output the correct answer when n = 13.

Here’s the link to the problem. Euler 8

## algorithms – Finding largest disjoint subtrees spanning nodes

I have a taxonomy (tree) of product categories. To each leaf product category, I have assigned a shop department where the products of a given category can be found.

Now for each department, I would like to find the smallest number of the largest subtrees in the taxonomy.

For instance, in the example below leaf nodes have been assigned one of two departments $$A$$ and $$B$$.

The expected solution would be: $$A$$ has two subtrees, namely $$x_2$$ and $$x_7$$, $$B$$ has one subtree $$x_4$$.

The solution where $$A$$ has $$x_1$$ subtree is wrong because $$x_1$$ is the ancestor of nodes that belong to another department.

The solution where $$A$$ has $$x_3$$ and $$x_7$$ subtrees is wrong because we want the biggest subtrees possible.

Is it a known problem?

Is there a solution for it?

## How to find the locations of Europe’s largest pipe organs?

I’d like to see and hear a range of very good large organs. I like the reverb that occurs in a large church or cathedral, so I would prefer that over a concert hall. Also, since I would like to hear it, I need a location which either has concerts or predictable times when you can hear practice. For example, once I was lucky enough to visit St Paul’s Cathedral in London and happened to hear the organist rehearsing. There are also scheduled recitals, Sunday Organ Recitals, so that is one answer to my question.

Which are the locations of Europe’s largest pipe organs and how can I find them?

I say Europe partly because I am in Europe, but also because I guess that the most impressive organs are here. I am happy to be proved wrong in this assumption.

You may ignore COVID-19. Assume that life eventually returns to normal and what used to be possible becomes possible again.

(The title and text is plural to indicate that I don’t expect a single answer, but a range of recommendations of well regarded organs. I hope that this makes the question less opinion based.)

My interest is musical rather than religious, so I don’t require any specific religion or denomination nor will I reject any. Ideally, I would like recitals unconnected to religious services, but that is not essential. I happy to behave appropriately and respectfully if I need to attend a service.

I am concentrating on cathedral or large church organs rather than the concert hall ones because the experience is quite different.
