I found an optimization problem. The following is an example case.




I have n=120 lamps in a circle, and enumerated by L1,…,L120. Some of
them are switched on and some of them are switched off. I also have
been given a positive integer m=7. One every turn I choose one lamp Li
and then the lamps Li−m,…,Li+m will change their state, I mean if lamp
Lj was turned off then now it is turned on and vice versa. Indexes are
modulo n so the lamps L118,L119,L1,L2 are consecutive.



What is the minimum number of turns to shut off all lamps and which
switches one must press, if the initial states of the lamps are (from
L1 to L120)

I was wondering how to solve the case I. I tried to solve it by Sage but my algorithm seems to be too slow. How can I make the program such that it finds the optimal solution and stops the computing as it find it?



Current code:



room = []
input = []
m = []
room.append('I')
input.append('1110111111101000100110011001100110100000001010001100011110110011111100000101000010101101100111001000100110110101111000110101101000010000100110111101001001011010110100100111011000110001101011110100110011010111110101010100')
m.append(27)
F = GF(2)
L_init = vector(F,input[0])
d = len(L_init)
M = matrix(F,d,d)
for i in range(d):
for j in range(-m[0],m[0]+1 ):
M[i,(i+j) % d] = 1
I = M.solve_right(L_init)
K = M.right_kernel()
best = None
for k in K:
A = (I+k).nonzero_positions()
B= []
if len((I+k).nonzero_positions()) < best or best == None:
S = room[0] + ' '
best = len((I+k).nonzero_positions())
for i in range(len(A)):
S +=str(int(A[i])+1) + ' '
print(S)
print("Optimal:")


Output thus far:

    I found an optimization problem. The following is an example case.




    I have n=120 lamps in a circle, and enumerated by L1,…,L120. Some of
    them are switched on and some of them are switched off. I also have
    been given a positive integer m=7. One every turn I choose one lamp Li
    and then the lamps Li−m,…,Li+m will change their state, I mean if lamp
    Lj was turned off then now it is turned on and vice versa. Indexes are
    modulo n so the lamps L118,L119,L1,L2 are consecutive.



    What is the minimum number of turns to shut off all lamps and which
    switches one must press, if the initial states of the lamps are (from
    L1 to L120)

    ================================================================================



    I was wondering how to solve the case I. I tried to solve it by Sage but my algorithm seems to be too slow. How can I make the program such that it finds the optimal solution and stops the computing as it find it?



    Current code:



    room = []
    input = []
    m = []
    room.append('I')
    input.append('1110111111101000100110011001100110100000001010001100011110110011111100000101000010101101100111001000100110110101111000110101101000010000100110111101001001011010110100100111011000110001101011110100110011010111110101010100')
    m.append(27)
    F = GF(2)
    L_init = vector(F,input[0])
    d = len(L_init)
    M = matrix(F,d,d)
    for i in range(d):
    for j in range(-m[0],m[0]+1 ):
    M[i,(i+j) % d] = 1
    I = M.solve_right(L_init)
    K = M.right_kernel()
    best = None
    for k in K:
    A = (I+k).nonzero_positions()
    B= []
    if len((I+k).nonzero_positions()) < best or best == None:
    S = room[0] + ' '
    best = len((I+k).nonzero_positions())
    for i in range(len(A)):
    S +=str(int(A[i])+1) + ' '
    print(S)
    print("Optimal:")


    Output thus far:

      I found an optimization problem. The following is an example case.




      I have n=120 lamps in a circle, and enumerated by L1,…,L120. Some of
      them are switched on and some of them are switched off. I also have
      been given a positive integer m=7. One every turn I choose one lamp Li
      and then the lamps Li−m,…,Li+m will change their state, I mean if lamp
      Lj was turned off then now it is turned on and vice versa. Indexes are
      modulo n so the lamps L118,L119,L1,L2 are consecutive.



      What is the minimum number of turns to shut off all lamps and which
      switches one must press, if the initial states of the lamps are (from
      L1 to L120)

      ================================================================================



      I was wondering how to solve the case I. I tried to solve it by Sage but my algorithm seems to be too slow. How can I make the program such that it finds the optimal solution and stops the computing as it find it?



      Current code:



      room = []
      input = []
      m = []
      room.append('I')
      input.append('1110111111101000100110011001100110100000001010001100011110110011111100000101000010101101100111001000100110110101111000110101101000010000100110111101001001011010110100100111011000110001101011110100110011010111110101010100')
      m.append(27)
      F = GF(2)
      L_init = vector(F,input[0])
      d = len(L_init)
      M = matrix(F,d,d)
      for i in range(d):
      for j in range(-m[0],m[0]+1 ):
      M[i,(i+j) % d] = 1
      I = M.solve_right(L_init)
      K = M.right_kernel()
      best = None
      for k in K:
      A = (I+k).nonzero_positions()
      B= []
      if len((I+k).nonzero_positions()) < best or best == None:
      S = room[0] + ' '
      best = len((I+k).nonzero_positions())
      for i in range(len(A)):
      S +=str(int(A[i])+1) + ' '
      print(S)
      print("Optimal:")


      Output thus far:

      I found an optimization problem. The following is an example case.




      I have n=120 lamps in a circle, and enumerated by L1,…,L120. Some of
      them are switched on and some of them are switched off. I also have
      been given a positive integer m=7. One every turn I choose one lamp Li
      and then the lamps Li−m,…,Li+m will change their state, I mean if lamp
      Lj was turned off then now it is turned on and vice versa. Indexes are
      modulo n so the lamps L118,L119,L1,L2 are consecutive.



      What is the minimum number of turns to shut off all lamps and which
      switches one must press, if the initial states of the lamps are (from
      L1 to L120)

      ================================================================================



      I was wondering how to solve the case I. I tried to solve it by Sage but my algorithm seems to be too slow. How can I make the program such that it finds the optimal solution and stops the computing as it find it?



      Current code:



      room = []
      input = []
      m = []
      room.append('I')
      input.append('1110111111101000100110011001100110100000001010001100011110110011111100000101000010101101100111001000100110110101111000110101101000010000100110111101001001011010110100100111011000110001101011110100110011010111110101010100')
      m.append(27)
      F = GF(2)
      L_init = vector(F,input[0])
      d = len(L_init)
      M = matrix(F,d,d)
      for i in range(d):
      for j in range(-m[0],m[0]+1 ):
      M[i,(i+j) % d] = 1
      I = M.solve_right(L_init)
      K = M.right_kernel()
      best = None
      for k in K:
      A = (I+k).nonzero_positions()
      B= []
      if len((I+k).nonzero_positions()) < best or best == None:
      S = room[0] + ' '
      best = len((I+k).nonzero_positions())
      for i in range(len(A)):
      S +=str(int(A[i])+1) + ' '
      print(S)
      print("Optimal:")


      Output thus far:
