Unique Binary Search Trees

Given n, how many structurally unique binary search trees that store values 1...n?

For example,

Given n = 3, there are a total of 5 unique BST's.

1         3     3      2      1
\       /     /      / \      \
3     2     1      1   3      2
/     /       \                 \
2     1         2                 3

num[i]表示i的二叉搜索树的个数. 它的数目是由子树有多少不同的根结点决定的.

For example,

i=0, count[0]=1 //empty tree

i=1, count[1]=1 //one tree

i=2, count[2]=count[0]*count[1] // 0 is root

+ count[1]*count[0] // 1 is root

i=3, count[3]=count[0]*count[2] // 1 is root

+ count[1]*count[1] // 2 is root

+ count[2]*count[0] // 3 is root

i=4, count[4]=count[0]*count[3] // 1 is root

+ count[1]*count[2] // 2 is root

+ count[2]*count[1] // 3 is root

+ count[3]*count[0] // 4 is root

..

i=n, count
= sum(count[0..k]*count[k+1...n]) 0 <= k < n-1

可以用动态规划来解决。

public int numTrees(int n) {
int[] num=new int[n+1];
num[0]=1;
num[1]=1;
for(int i=2;i<=n;i++){
for(int j=0;j<=i-1;j++)
num[i]+=num[j]*num[i-j-1];
}
return num
;
}
