正如@j_random_hacker所指出的，这与在O(n)个时间和O(1)个空间中寻找重复项非常相似，我的答案在这里也适用。

假设“袋子”由一个大小为N - k的基于1的数组a[]表示，我们可以在O(N)个时间和O(k)个额外空间内求解Qk。

首先，我们将数组A[]扩展k个元素，使它现在的大小为n，这是O(k)个额外空间。然后我们运行以下伪代码算法:

for i := n - k + 1 to n
    A[i] := A[1]
end for

for i := 1 to n - k
    while A[A[i]] != A[i] 
        swap(A[i], A[A[i]])
    end while
end for

for i := 1 to n
    if A[i] != i then 
        print i
    end if
end for

第一个循环初始化k个额外的条目，使其与数组中的第一个条目相同(这只是我们知道数组中已经存在的一个方便的值——在这一步之后，大小为N-k的初始数组中缺失的任何条目在扩展数组中仍然缺失)。

第二个循环排列扩展数组，如果元素x至少出现一次，那么其中一个元素将位于位置A[x]。

注意，尽管它有一个嵌套循环，但它仍然在O(N)时间内运行——只有当有一个i使a [i] != i时才会发生交换，并且每次交换设置至少一个元素使a [i] == i，而以前不是这样的。这意味着交换的总数(因此while循环体的执行总数)最多为N-1。

第三个循环打印数组i中没有被值i占用的索引——这意味着i一定是缺失的。

等一下。正如问题所述，袋子里有100个数字。无论k有多大，问题都可以在常数时间内解决，因为您可以使用一个集合，并在最多100k次循环迭代中从集合中删除数字。100是常数。剩下的数就是你的答案。

如果我们将解推广到从1到N的数字，除了N不是常数外，没有什么变化，所以我们在O(N - k) = O(N)时间内。例如，如果我们使用位集，我们在O(N)时间内将位设置为1，遍历这些数字，将位设置为0 (O(N-k) = O(N))，然后我们就得到了答案。

It seems to me that the interviewer was asking you how to print out the contents of the final set in O(k) time rather than O(N) time. Clearly, with a bit set, you have to iterate through all N bits to determine whether you should print the number or not. However, if you change the way the set is implemented you can print out the numbers in k iterations. This is done by putting the numbers into an object to be stored in both a hash set and a doubly linked list. When you remove an object from the hash set, you also remove it from the list. The answers will be left in the list which is now of length k.

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;
        final int begin;
        int quantity;

            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);

            full.exclude(inputBag.next());

}

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();
            }
        };
    }
}

下面给出了演示这些类用法的简单示例。

        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;

在Ideone上试试吧

下面是Dimitris Andreou链接的摘要。

记住i次幂的和，其中i=1 2 .. k。这就把问题简化为解方程组

A1 + A2 + ... + AK = B1

A12 + A22 + ... + AK2 = B2

...

a1k + a2k + ... + laas = bk

利用牛顿恒等式，知道bi就可以计算

c1 = a1 + a2 +ak

c2 = a1a2 + a1a3 +，+ ak-1ak

...

ck = a1a2 ..ak

如果你展开多项式(x-a1)…(x-ak)系数正好是c1，…， ck -见Viète的公式。由于每个多项式因子都是唯一的(多项式环是欧几里得域)，这意味着ai是唯一确定的，直到排列为止。

这就证明了记住幂就足以恢复数字。对于常数k，这是一个很好的方法。

However, when k is varying, the direct approach of computing c1,...,ck is prohibitely expensive, since e.g. ck is the product of all missing numbers, magnitude n!/(n-k)!. To overcome this, perform computations in Zq field, where q is a prime such that n <= q < 2n - it exists by Bertrand's postulate. The proof doesn't need to be changed, since the formulas still hold, and factorization of polynomials is still unique. You also need an algorithm for factorization over finite fields, for example the one by Berlekamp or Cantor-Zassenhaus.

常数k的高级伪代码:

计算给定数的i次幂 相减得到未知数字的i次幂的和。称这些和为bi。 利用牛顿恒等式从bi中计算系数;叫它们ci。c1 = b1;C2 = (c1b1 - b2)/2;详见维基百科的精确公式 因式分解多项式xk-c1xk-1 +…+ ck。 多项式的根是所需的数a1，…正义与发展党。

对于改变k，使用例如Miller-Rabin，找到质数n <= q < 2n，并对所有数字对q进行模数化简来执行步骤。

编辑:这个答案的前一个版本表明，可以使用特征2 (q=2^(log n))的有限域来代替Zq，其中q是素数。但事实并非如此，因为牛顿公式需要除以k以内的数。

一个可能的解决方案:

public class MissingNumber {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // 0-20
