你可以解出Q2如果你有两个链表的和和和两个链表的乘积。

(l1为原始列表，l2为修改后的列表)

d = sum(l1) - sum(l2)
m = mul(l1) / mul(l2)

我们可以优化它，因为等差级数的和是第一项和最后一项的平均值的n倍:

n = len(l1)
d = (n/2)*(n+1) - sum(l2)

现在我们知道(如果a和b是被移除的数字):

a + b = d
a * b = m

所以我们可以重新排列为:

a = s - b
b * (s - b) = m

然后乘出来:

-b^2 + s*b = m

然后重新排列，使右边为零

-b^2 + s*b - m = 0

然后用二次公式求解:

b = (-s + sqrt(s^2 - (4*-1*-m)))/-2
a = s - b

Python 3示例代码:

from functools import reduce
import operator
import math
x = list(range(1,21))
sx = (len(x)/2)*(len(x)+1)
x.remove(15)
x.remove(5)
mul = lambda l: reduce(operator.mul,l)
s = sx - sum(x)
m = mul(range(1,21)) / mul(x)
b = (-s + math.sqrt(s**2 - (-4*(-m))))/-2
a = s - b
print(a,b) #15,5

我不知道根号，减法和求和函数的复杂性，所以我无法计算出这个解决方案的复杂性(如果有人知道，请在下面评论)。

这是一个解决方案，它不依赖于复杂的数学，如sdcvvc /Dimitris Andreou的答案，不像caf和Colonel Panic那样改变输入数组，也不像Chris Lercher, JeremyP和许多其他人那样使用巨大的bitset。基本上，我从Svalorzen /Gilad Deutch关于Q2的想法开始，将其推广到常见情况Qk，并在Java中实现，以证明算法是有效的。

这个想法

假设我们有一个任意区间I其中我们只知道它包含至少一个缺失的数。在一次遍历输入数组后，只查看来自I的数字，我们可以获得I中缺失数字的S和Q。我们通过每次遇到来自I的数字时简单地减去I的长度(以获得Q)，并通过每次将I中所有数字的预计算总和减去遇到的数字(以获得S)来实现这一点。

Now we look at S and Q. If Q = 1, it means that then I contains only one of the missing numbers, and this number is clearly S. We mark I as finished (it is called "unambiguous" in the program) and leave it out from further consideration. On the other hand, if Q > 1, we can calculate the average A = S / Q of missing numbers contained in I. As all numbers are distinct, at least one of such numbers is strictly less than A and at least one is strictly greater than A. Now we split I in A into two smaller intervals each of which contains at least one missing number. Note that it doesn't matter to which of the intervals we assign A in case it is an integer.

We make the next array pass calculating S and Q for each of the intervals separately (but in the same pass) and after that mark intervals with Q = 1 and split intervals with Q > 1. We continue this process until there are no new "ambiguous" intervals, i.e. we have nothing to split because each interval contains exactly one missing number (and we always know this number because we know S). We start out from the sole "whole range" interval containing all possible numbers (like [1..N] in the question).

时空复杂性分析

在过程停止之前，我们需要通过的总次数p永远不会大于缺失数k。不等式p <= k可以被严格证明。另一方面，也有一个经验上限p < log2N + 3，这对于k的大值是有用的。我们需要对输入数组的每个数字进行二进制搜索，以确定它所属的区间。这给时间复杂度增加了log k乘数。

总的来说，时间复杂度为O(N᛫min(k, log N)᛫log k).注意，对于较大的k，这明显优于sdcvvc/Dimitris Andreou的方法，即O(N᛫k)。

对于它的工作，该算法需要O(k)个额外的空间来存储最多k个间隔，这明显优于“bitset”解决方案中的O(N)。

Java实现

下面是一个实现上述算法的Java类。它总是返回一个由缺失数字组成的有序数组。除此之外，它不需要缺少的数字计算k，因为它在第一次传递中计算k。整个数字范围由minNumber和maxNumber参数给出(例如，问题中的第一个例子是1和100)。

public class MissingNumbers {
    private static class Interval {
        boolean ambiguous = true;

            this.begin = begin;
            quantity = end - begin;
            sum = quantity * ((long)end - 1 + begin) / 2;
        }

        void exclude(int x) {
            quantity--;
            sum -= x;
        }
    }

    public static int[] find(int minNumber, int maxNumber, NumberBag inputBag) {
        Interval full = new Interval(minNumber, ++maxNumber);

}

For fairness, this class receives input in form of NumberBag objects. NumberBag doesn't allow array modification and random access and also counts how many times the array was requested for sequential traversing. It is also more suitable for large array testing than Iterable<Integer> because it avoids boxing of primitive int values and allows wrapping a part of a large int[] for a convenient test preparation. It is not hard to replace, if desired, NumberBag by int[] or Iterable<Integer> type in the find signature, by changing two for-loops in it into foreach ones.

import java.util.*;

public abstract class NumberBag {
    private int passCount;

    public void startOver() {
        passCount++;
    }

    public final int getPassCount() {
        return passCount;
    }

    public abstract boolean hasNext();

    public abstract int next();

    // A lightweight version of Iterable<Integer> to avoid boxing of int
    public static NumberBag fromArray(int[] base, int fromIndex, int toIndex) {
        return new NumberBag() {
            int index = toIndex;

            public void startOver() {
                super.startOver();
                index = fromIndex;
            }

            public boolean hasNext() {
                return index < toIndex;
            }

            public int next() {
                if (index >= toIndex)
                    throw new NoSuchElementException();
                return base[index++];
            }
        };
    }

    public static NumberBag fromArray(int[] base) {
        return fromArray(base, 0, base.length);
    }

    public static NumberBag fromIterable(Iterable<Integer> base) {
        return new NumberBag() {
            Iterator<Integer> it;

            public void startOver() {
                super.startOver();
                it = base.iterator();
            }

            public boolean hasNext() {
                return it.hasNext();
            }

            public int next() {
                return it.next();
            }
        };
    }
}

测试

下面给出了演示这些类用法的简单示例。

import java.util.*;

public class SimpleTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] input = { 7, 1, 4, 9, 6, 2 };
        NumberBag bag = NumberBag.fromArray(input);
        int[] output = MissingNumbers.find(1, 10, bag);
        System.out.format("Input: %s%nMissing numbers: %s%nPass count: %d%n",
                Arrays.toString(input), Arrays.toString(output), bag.getPassCount());

        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            inputList.add(2 * i);
        Collections.shuffle(inputList);
        bag = NumberBag.fromIterable(inputList);
        output = MissingNumbers.find(0, 19, bag);
        System.out.format("%nInput: %s%nMissing numbers: %s%nPass count: %d%n",
                inputList, Arrays.toString(output), bag.getPassCount());

        // Sieve of Eratosthenes
        final int MAXN = 1_000;
        List<Integer> nonPrimes = new ArrayList<>();
        nonPrimes.add(1);
        int[] primes;
        int lastPrimeIndex = 0;
        while (true) {
            primes = MissingNumbers.find(1, MAXN, NumberBag.fromIterable(nonPrimes));
            int p = primes[lastPrimeIndex]; // guaranteed to be prime
            int q = p;
            for (int i = lastPrimeIndex++; i < primes.length; i++) {
                q = primes[i]; // not necessarily prime
                int pq = p * q;
                if (pq > MAXN)
                    break;
                nonPrimes.add(pq);
            }
            if (q == p)
                break;
        }
        System.out.format("%nSieve of Eratosthenes. %d primes up to %d found:%n",
                primes.length, MAXN);
        for (int i = 0; i < primes.length; i++)
            System.out.format(" %4d%s", primes[i], (i % 10) < 9 ? "" : "\n");
    }
}

大数组测试可以这样执行:

        return Math.min(mBound, nBound);
    }

    private void error(String cause) {

在Ideone上试试吧

我相信我有一个O(k)时间和O(log(k)空间算法，前提是你有任意大整数的下限(x)和log2(x)函数:

你有一个k位的长整数(因此是log8(k)空间)，其中你加上x^2，其中x是你在袋子里找到的下一个数字:s=1^2+2^2+…这需要O(N)时间(这对面试官来说不是问题)。最后得到j= (log2(s))这是你要找的最大的数。然后s=s-j，重复上面的步骤:

for (i = 0 ; i < k ; i++)
{
  j = floor(log2(s));
  missing[i] = j;
  s -= j;
}

现在，对于2756位的整数，通常没有floor和log2函数，而是用于double。所以呢?简单地说，对于每2个字节(或1、3、4)，您可以使用这些函数来获得所需的数字，但这增加了O(N)因素的时间复杂度

谢谢你这个有趣的问题:

因为你让我想起了牛顿的工作，它真的可以解决这个问题

请参考牛顿恒等式

As变量的数量=方程的数量(必须为一致性)

我认为，对于这个问题，我们应该提高袋数的幂，以便创建不同的方程。

我不知道，但是，我相信如果有一个函数，比如f，我们要加上f(xi)

x1+x2+…+ xk = z1

x12 + x22 + ... + xk2 = z2

............

............

............

x1k + x2k + ... + xkk = XP

休息是一个不确定时间和空间复杂性的数学工作，但牛顿恒等式肯定会发挥重要作用。

我们不能用集合理论吗 .difference_update()或在这个问题方法中是否有线性代数的机会?

我让一个4岁的孩子来解决这个问题。他把数字分类，然后开始数。这有一个O(厨房地板)的空间要求，它的工作就像许多球丢失一样简单。

我们假设它是一个从1到N的数组，它的元素是a1, a2， ....一个:

1+N=N+1;
2+N-1=N+1;

… 所以这个和是唯一的。我们可以从头到尾扫描数组来添加两个元素。如果和是N+1;好吧，否则它们就不见了。

for (I <= N/2) {
    temp = a[I] + a[n-I];
    if (temp != N+1) then
        Find the missing number or numbers
}

迭代这个循环，很容易就能得到答案。
