PROBLEM:
Given a sequence A of length N, the weight of this sequence is defined as weight(A)=\sum_{i=1}^{N}i⋅A_i. Given an integer N, we pick a permutation A of [1,2…N] uniformly at random. What is the expected weight of this permutation? It can be shown that this can be represented as P/Q where P and Q are co prime integers and Q≠0 mod 998244353. Print the value of P⋅Q−1 modulo 998244353.
EXPLANATION:
weight(A) for a permutation A from 1 to N as mentioned in the problem is given by -
weight(A) = 1\times A_1 + 2\times A_2 + \dots + n\times A_n
This in turn is calculated for all possible permutations A, let the evaluation of the value weight(A) for the i_{th} permutation be w_i (where 0\lt i\leq N!). We are required to calculate the expected value of weight of such a randomly picked permutation, this will be given by -
E = (w_1+w_2+\dots +w_{n!})/(n!)
If we fix the i_{th} element of A to a value j (where 0\lt j\leq N), there will be (N-1)! permutations possible by changing positions of other elements. In simpler words, there will be (N-1)! weights in E whose corresponding permutation A had the number j at the i_{th} position, meaning i\times j is contributing its value (N-1)! times to E.
For example consider N=3, in this case if we fix A_i=j for j=1 and i from 1 to N we observe -
i=1, j=1
A_1=1 -
A=[1, 2, 3], weight(A)=1+2\times 2+3\times 3
A=[1, 3, 2], weight(A)=1+2\times 3+3\times 2i=2, j=1
A_2=1 -
A=[2, 1, 3], weight(A)=2+2\times 1+3\times 3
A=[3, 1, 2], weight(A)=3+2\times 1+3\times 2i=3, j=1
A_3=1 -
A=[2, 3, 1], weight(A)=2+2\times 3+3\times 1
A=[3, 2, 1], weight(A)=3+2\times 2+3\times 1We can observe that for each value of i from 1 to N, i\times j= i\times 1 is present in the weight of (N-1)!=(3-1)!=2 permutations of A.
Now we’ve established that each number j will appear at a position i (0<i\leq N), (N-1)! times. Each number j from 1 to N can contribute i\times j to the expected value (N-1)! times. We can write it as follows -
1\times i\times (N-1)! + 2\times i\times (N-1)! + 3\times i\times (N-1)! + \dots N\times i\times (N-1)!
=i\times (N-1)!\times (1+2+3+\dots +N)
=i\times (N-1)!\times ((N)(N+1)/2)
where i can assume values between 1 to N for each value of j as well, we can write this as -
1\times (N-1)!\times ((N)(N+1)/2) + 2\times (N-1)!\times ((N)(N+1)/2) + 3\times (N-1)!\times ((N)(N+1)/2) + \dots N\times (N-1)!\times ((N)(N+1)/2)
= (1+2+3+\dots +N)\times (N-1)!\times ((N)(N+1)/2)
= (N\times (N+1)/2)\times (N-1)!\times ((N)(N+1)/2)
= (N!\times N\times (N+1)^2)/4
We have above obtained the sum of weights of all N! permutations of A, to calculate the expected value E now we need to divide this sum by the number of permutations possible -
(N!\times N\times (N+1)^2)/(4\times N!)
=(N\times (N+1)^2)/4
Out of the components of the answer above, N\times (N+1)/2 will always yield an integral quotient which is why we won’t be taking the modular multiplicative inverse of 4 that is currently in the denominator. We can divide it into 2 parts -
- The part yielding integral quotient
- The part that may or may not leave a remainder on division
as follows -
(N\times (N+1)/2)
\times
(N+1)/2
If we compare it to P/Q form where P and Q are co prime integers, we can claim that either
- P=N\times (N+1)^2/2 and Q=2 or
- P=N\times (N+1)^2/4 and Q=1
Now if N+1 is found to be divisible by 2, we can simply multiply P by 1^{−1} modulo (998244353). On the other hand if P is not divisible by 2, we will have to multiply it with 2^{−1} modulo (998244353). This leads us to our final answer -
(N(N+1)^2/2)\times 2^{-1}modulo(998244353) if N is even, or
(N(N+1)^2/4)\times 1^{-1}modulo(998244353) if N is odd
TIME COMPLEXITY:
O(1) per test case, because computing modular multiplicative inverse i.e. Q^{-1}modulo(998244353) takes O(log(998244353)) time which is a constant.
