Output

Certainly! Let's tackle this problem step by step. We'll start by outlining a comprehensive plan to solve the task and then provide a C implementation based on that plan. ## **Plan for Counting Unholy 8x8 Binary Matrices** ### **1. Matrix Representation** - **Matrix as Unsigned Long:** - Represent the 8x8 binary matrix using an `unsigned long` (64 bits). - Each bit corresponds to a cell in the matrix, ordered row-wise from top-left to bottom-right. ### **2. Defining "Unholy"** - **Unholy Matrix Criteria:** - A matrix is **unholy** if **no `1` is isolated**. - A `1` is **isolated** if there are **no adjacent `1`s** in any of the **four cardinal directions**: up, down, left, or right. ### **3. Implementing the `is_unholy` Function** - **Purpose:** - Determine if a given 8x8 binary matrix is unholy. - **Approach:** 1. **Identify Neighbors:** - For each `1` in the matrix, check its four neighbors using bitwise operations: - **Left Shift (`<< 1`):** Checks the cell to the right. - **Right Shift (`>> 1`):** Checks the cell to the left. - **Up Shift (`<< 8`):** Checks the cell below. - **Down Shift (`>> 8`):** Checks the cell above. - **Masking:** - Ensure that shifts do not wrap around rows. Use masks to prevent erroneous neighbor detection across row boundaries. 2. **Combine Neighbors:** - Use bitwise OR to combine all shifted matrices, resulting in a matrix that flags all neighboring `1`s for each cell. 3. **Detect Isolated `1`s:** - An isolated `1` will have no corresponding `1` in the combined neighbor matrix. - Use bitwise AND and NOT operations to identify these isolated `1`s. 4. **Determine Unholiness:** - If there are **no isolated `1`s**, the matrix is unholy. ### **4. Dynamic Programming Approach to Count Unholy Matrices** - **Objective:** - Efficiently count all possible 8x8 unholy binary matrices using dynamic programming (DP). - **Challenges:** - The total number of possible matrices is \(2^{64}\), which is computationally infeasible to iterate directly. - Utilize DP to break down the problem into manageable subproblems by processing the matrix row by row. - **DP Strategy:** 1. **State Representation:** - **Current Row (`current_row`):** The pattern of `1`s and `0`s in the current row. - **Previous Row (`prev_row`):** The pattern of `1`s and `0`s in the previous row. - **State:** A combination of `(prev_row, current_row)`. 2. **Transition Rules:** - **For Each Row:** - Iterate over all possible `256` ( \(2^8\) ) patterns for the current row. - For each `current_row`, iterate over all possible `previous_row` states that are compatible. - **Compatibility Check:** - Ensure that no `1` in the `previous_row` is isolated, considering the `current_row`. - Ensure that, within the `current_row`, no `1` is isolated based on horizontal neighbors (left and right). 3. **Initialization:** - Start with an empty `previous_row` (all `0`s). 4. **Recurrence Relation:** - **DP[row][current_row]:** Number of valid configurations up to the current `row` with the last row being `current_row`. - Update `DP[row + 1][next_row]` based on valid transitions from `DP[row][current_row]`. 5. **Finalization:** - After processing all rows, ensure that the last row does not contain isolated `1`s. - Sum all valid configurations from the last row. ### **5. Implementation Steps in C** 1. **Define Helper Functions:** - `is_unholy(unsigned long matrix)`: Checks if a matrix is unholy. - `count_unholy_matrices()`: Uses dynamic programming to count all unholy 8x8 matrices. 2. **Dynamic Programming Table:** - Use an array to store the count of valid configurations for each possible row pattern. 3. **Bit Masking:** - Implement masks to prevent wrap-around during bit shifts. 4. **Iterate Through Rows:** - For each row, iterate through all possible current row patterns. - For each pattern, iterate through all possible previous row patterns. - Update the DP table based on compatibility. 5. **Final Count:** - After processing all rows, aggregate the counts of valid final row states. 6. **Optimization:** - Precompute valid transitions to speed up the DP process. ## **C Implementation** Below is the C program based on the above plan. The program includes detailed comments to explain each part of the implementation.

### **Explanation of the Implementation** 1. **`is_unholy` Function:** - Although not used in the DP approach, it's implemented based on the initial requirement. - It checks if a given matrix has no isolated `1`s by shifting and masking bits to find neighbors. 2. **`count_unholy_matrices` Function:** - **Dynamic Programming Tables:** - Uses two arrays, `prev` and `current`, to store counts of valid configurations for previous and current row patterns. - **Initialization:** - Starts with an all-zero previous row, representing an empty matrix. - **Iterating Through Rows:** - For each row, iterate through all possible previous row patterns. - For each previous row pattern, iterate through all possible current row patterns. - Check for compatibility: - Ensure that `1`s in the previous row are not isolated when considering the current row. - Ensure that `1`s in the current row are not isolated when considering the previous row. - Update the `current` DP table based on valid transitions. - **Final Count:** - After processing all rows, sum all valid configurations from the final DP table. - **Memory Management:** - Allocates and frees memory dynamically for the DP tables. 3. **`main` Function:** - Calls the `count_unholy_matrices` function and prints the total number of unholy 8x8 matrices. ### **Optimizations and Considerations** - **Space Optimization:** - Uses two 256-element arrays instead of a full 2D DP table to save memory. - **Time Optimization:** - Skips invalid previous row patterns (`prev[prev_row] == 0`) to reduce computational overhead. - **Edge Cases:** - The first row is treated with an all-zero previous row. - The last row ensures that there are no isolated `1`s based on the previous row. - **Scalability:** - While optimized for 8x8 matrices, the approach can be adapted for larger matrices with appropriate adjustments. ### **Conclusion** This C program efficiently counts all unholy 8x8 binary matrices by leveraging bitwise operations and dynamic programming. By processing the matrix row by row and ensuring that no `1` is isolated, the program computes the total number of valid configurations without exhaustively enumerating all possible \(2^{64}\) matrices.

Output

**Program Plan: Counting Unholy 8x8 Binary Matrices** **Objective:** Count the total number of 8x8 binary matrices (64-bit matrices) where no `1` is isolated. A matrix is considered *unholy* if every `1` has at least one neighboring `1` in the up, down, left, or right direction. **Approach:** 1. **Matrix Representation:** - Represent the 8x8 binary matrix using an `unsigned long` (64 bits). - Each row of the matrix is an 8-bit segment within the `unsigned long`. 2. **Unholiness Check (`is_unholy` Function):** - For each `1` bit in the matrix, ensure it has at least one neighboring `1` in the four cardinal directions. - Utilize bit-shifting and masking to efficiently check neighbors: - **Left Neighbor:** Shift the matrix right by 1 bit and mask out wrap-around cases. - **Right Neighbor:** Shift the matrix left by 1 bit and mask out wrap-around cases. - **Up Neighbor:** Shift the matrix left by 8 bits. - **Down Neighbor:** Shift the matrix right by 8 bits. - Combine these shifted matrices to identify all `1` bits that have at least one neighbor. - The matrix is unholy if every `1` in the original matrix has a corresponding `1` in the combined neighbor matrix. 3. **Dynamic Programming (DP) Strategy:** - **State Definition:** - A DP state is defined by the last two rows of the matrix built so far. This is because processing two rows at a time ensures that neighboring relationships are appropriately maintained. - Each state can be represented as a pair of 8-bit rows, leading to `2^16` (65536) possible states. - **Transition:** - Start with an initial state where the previous two rows are both `0`. - At each step, append two new rows to the matrix. Enumerate all possible combinations of these two new rows (`2^16` possibilities). - For each combination, check if adding these two rows maintains the unholy property by ensuring: - No `1` in the previous two rows is isolated with respect to the new two rows. - No `1` in the new two rows is isolated with respect to themselves and the previous two rows. - If valid, transition to the new state defined by the two newly added rows and update the count of valid matrices for that state. - **Recursion Depth:** - Since the matrix is 8 rows tall and we're adding two rows at a time, the recursion depth is 4. 4. **Final Count:** - After processing all rows, sum the counts of all states that represent complete 8x8 matrices without any isolated `1`s. 5. **Implementation Considerations:** - **Efficiency:** - Utilize memoization to store intermediate counts for states to avoid redundant computations. - Bitwise operations ensure that neighbor checks are performed efficiently. - **Memory:** - Given the state space of `2^16`, use appropriate data structures (like arrays) to store DP counts without excessive memory usage. 6. **Summary of Steps:** - **Step 1:** Implement the `is_unholy` function using bit-shifting and masking. - **Step 2:** Set up the DP framework with initial states. - **Step 3:** Iterate through the matrix two rows at a time, updating DP states based on valid transitions. - **Step 4:** Aggregate the counts from all valid final states to obtain the total number of unholy matrices. **C Implementation:**

**Explanation of the Implementation:** 1. **`is_unholy` Function:** - This function checks if a given 64-bit matrix has no isolated `1`s. - It shifts the matrix in four directions (left, right, up, down) to identify neighboring `1`s. - By combining these shifted matrices, it determines if any `1` lacks a neighbor, marking the matrix as *not* unholy if such a `1` exists. 2. **Dynamic Programming (`count_unholy_matrices` Function):** - **State Representation:** Each state is represented by the last two rows of the matrix, encoded as a 16-bit integer (`prev_row1` and `prev_row2`). - **Initialization:** Start with both previous rows as `0` (no `1`s). - **Transition:** - For each state, iterate through all possible combinations of two new rows (`new_row1` and `new_row2`). - Combine these four rows into a 32-bit window and check for unholiness within this window using bitwise operations. - If the combination maintains the unholy property, transition to the new state defined by `new_row1` and `new_row2`, updating the count. - **Final Check:** After processing all rows, ensure that the last two rows have no isolated `1`s. - **Accumulation:** Sum the counts from all valid final states to get the total number of unholy matrices. 3. **Main Function:** - Calls the `count_unholy_matrices` function and prints the total number of unholy 8x8 binary matrices. **Optimization Notes:** - **Memory Efficiency:** Uses two arrays (`current_dp` and `next_dp`) of size `65536` to store counts for each possible state, which is feasible given modern memory capacities. - **Performance:** By processing two rows at a time and using bitwise operations, the implementation efficiently explores the state space without redundant checks. **Conclusion:** This C program effectively counts all 8x8 binary matrices where no `1` is isolated by leveraging bitwise operations and dynamic programming. The use of memoization ensures that the computation remains tractable despite the large state space.
