Taxicab numbers

From Rosetta Code
Task
Taxicab numbers
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

A taxicab number (the definition that is being used here) is a positive integer that can be expressed as the sum of two positive cubes in more than one way.

The first taxicab number is 1729 : 13 + 123 = 93 + 103


Task requirements
  • Compute and display the lowest 25 taxicab numbers (in numeric order, and in a human-readable format).
  • For each of the taxicab numbers, show the number as well as it's constituent cubes.


Extra credit
  • Show the 2,000th taxicab number, and a half dozen more

Using a priority queue to emit sum of two cubs in order. It's reasonably fast and doesn't use excessive amount of memory (the heap is only at 245 length upon the 2006th taxi). <lang c>#include <stdio.h>

Using the heap library, and a heap to store the taxicab numbers. For taxi tuples - decomposition in more than two sums - we use the group function which transforms a list ( 3 5 5 6 8 ...) into ((3) (5 5) (6) ...). <lang scheme> (require '(heap compile))

(define (scube a b) (+ (* a a a) (* b b b))) (compile 'scube "-f") ; "-f" means : no bigint, no rational used

is n - a^3 a cube b^3?
if yes return b, else #f

(define (taxi? n a (b 0)) (set! b (cbrt (- n (* a a a)))) ;; cbrt is ∛ (when (and (< b a) (integer? b)) b)) (compile 'taxi? "-f")

push it

loop on a and b, b <=a , until n taxicabs found

(define (taxicab (n 2100)) (for ((a (in-naturals))) (clean-taxi H (* a a a) (heap-top H)) #:break (> (stack-length S) n) (for ((b a)) (heap-push H (scube a b)))))

Explanation:

First, generate 100 cubes.

Then, form a 3 column table of unique rows: sum, small cube, large cube

Then, gather rows where the first entry is the same. Keep the ones with at least two such entries (sorted by ascending order of sum).

Then, place an counting index (starting from 1) in front of each row, so the columns are now: counting index, sum, small cube, large cube.

Note that the cube root of the 25th entry is slightly smaller than 74, so testing against the first 100 cubes is more than sufficient.

Note that here we have elected to show the constituent cubes as themselves rather than as expressions involving their cube roots.

The extra blank box at the end is because when tackling this large of a data set, some sums can be achieved by three different pairs of cubes.

jq

Works with: jq version 1.4

<lang jq># Output: an array of the form [i^3 + j^3, [i, j]] sorted by the sum.

  1. Only cubes of 1 to ($in-1) are considered; the listing is therefore truncated
  2. as it might not capture taxicab numbers greater than $in ^ 3.

def sum_of_two_cubes:

 def cubed: .*.*.;
 . as $in
 | (cubed + 1) as $limit
 | [range(1;$in) as $i | range($i;$in) as $j
 | [ ($i|cubed) + ($j|cubed), [$i, $j] ] ] | sort
 | map( select( .[0] < $limit ) );
  1. Output a stream of triples [t, d1, d2], in order of t,
  2. where t is a taxicab number, and d1 and d2 are distinct
  3. decompositions [i,j] with i^3 + j^3 == t.
  4. The stream includes each taxicab number once only.

def taxicabs0:

 sum_of_two_cubes as $sums
 | range(1;$sums|length) as $i
 | if $sums[$i][0] == $sums[$i-1][0]
     and ($i==1 or $sums[$i][0] != $sums[$i-2][0])
   then [$sums[$i][0], $sums[$i-1][1], $sums[$i][1]]
   else empty
   end;
  1. Output a stream of $n taxicab triples: [t, d1, d2] as described above,
  2. without repeating t.

def taxicabs:

 # If your jq includes until/2 then the following definition
 # can be omitted:
 def until(cond; next):
   def _until: if cond then . else (next|_until) end;  _until;
 . as $n
 | [10, ($n / 10 | floor)] | max as $increment
 | [20, ($n / 2 | floor)] | max
 | [ ., [taxicabs0] ]
 | until( .[1] | length >= $m; (.[0] + $increment) | [., [taxicabs0]] )
 | .[1][0:$n] ;</lang>

The task <lang jq>2006 | taxicabs as $t | (range(0;25), range(1999;2006)) as $i | "\($i+1): \($t[$i][0]) ~ \($t[$i][1]) and \($t[$i][2])"</lang>

Pascal

Works with: Free Pascal

Brute force: Create all combinations x³+ y³ | y < x one by on and test if there is a combination v < x and v> w > y with the same cube-sum. Combinations to check = n*(n-1)/2.The mean distance of one Combination m is m/2 from m³+1³ to m³+(m-1)³. searchSameSum checks one half of this distance == m/4.So O(n) ~ n³ /8 checks are needed. searchSameSum takes most of the time (>95% ), sorting is neglectable. [[1]]C-Version is ~6 times faster aka 43 vs 247 ms for max = 1290^3. Here limit set to 1190 to just reach the goal of element 2006 ;-) so 200ms are possible. Its impressive, that over all one check takes ~3.5 cpu-cycles on i4330 3.5Ghz

Perl

Uses segmentation so memory use is constrained as high values are searched for. Also has parameter to look for Ta(3) and Ta(4) numbers (which is when segmentation is really needed). By default shows the first 25 numbers; with one argument shows that many; with two arguments shows results in the range.

my ($segsize, $low, $high, $i) = (500_000_000, 0, 0, 0);

Perl 6

This uses a pretty simple search algorithm that doesn't necessarily return the Taxicab numbers in order. Assuming we want all the Taxicab numbers within some range S to N, we'll search until we find N values. When we find the Nth value, we continue to search up to the cube root of the largest Taxicab number found up to that point. That ensures we will find all of them inside the desired range without needing to search arbitrarily or use magic numbers. Defaults to returning the Taxicab numbers from 1 to 25. Pass in a different start and end value if you want some other range. <lang perl6>sub MAIN ($start = 1, $end = 25) {

   my %taxi;
   my $taxis = 0;
   my $terminate = 0;
   for 1 .. * -> $c1 {
       display( %taxi, $start, $end ) and exit if 0 < $terminate < $c1;
       my $c = $c1 ** 3;
       for 1 .. $c1 -> $c2 {
           my $this = $c2 ** 3 + $c;

Although, for this task it's simply faster to look up the cubes in the sum when we need to print them, because we can now store and sort only the sums: <lang python>cubes, crev = [x**3 for x in range(1,1200)], {}

  1. for cube root lookup

for x,x3 in enumerate(cubes): crev[x3] = x + 1

sums = sorted(x+y for x in cubes for y in cubes if y < x)

idx = 0 for i in range(1, len(sums)-1):

   if sums[i-1] != sums[i] and sums[i] == sums[i+1]:
       idx += 1
       if idx > 25 and idx < 2000 or idx > 2006: continue
       n,p = sums[i],[]
       for x in cubes:
           if n-x < x: break
           if n-x in crev:
               p.append((crev[x], crev[n-x]))
       print "%4d: %10d"%(idx,n),
       for x in p: print " = %4d^3 + %4d^3"%x,
       print</lang>

Using heapq module

A priority queue that holds cube sums. When consecutive sums come out with the same value, they are taxis. <lang python>from heapq import heappush, heappop

       while not h or h[0][0] > n**3: # could also pre-calculate cubes
           heappush(h, (n**3 + 1, n, 1))
           n += 1
       (s, x, y) = heappop(h)
       yield((s, x, y))
       y += 1
       if y < x:    # should be y <= x?
           heappush(h, (x**3 + y**3, x, y))

def taxis():

   out = [(0,0,0)]
   for s in cubesum():
       if s[0] == out[-1][0]:
           out.append(s)
       else:
           if len(out) > 1: yield(out)
           out = [s]

n = 0 for x in taxis():

   n += 1
   if n >= 2006: break
